--During a move-the-ball drill, Newton tried to connect with Olsen over the middle, but the pass was just out of reach. The ball -went off Olsen’s hand and right to cornerback Donte Jackson for the interception. After the drill was over, Newton hugged Olsen and apologized for putting him in a tough spot.
--Defensive linemen don’t get many chances at interceptions. Bryan Cox Jr. had a golden one against Grier after dropping into coverage, but his hands failed him. “Need to do more of those ball drills,” he said.
--Just noticed that long snapper J.J. Jansen and punter Michael Palardy take part in the kickoff coverage drill. Both charge down the field with other special teamers. The more you can do, right? “You see that speed off the back side?” Palardy said. Speaking of kickoff return, here’s the list of guys fielding kicks: Cameron Artis-Payne, Terry Godwin, Rashad Ross, Damion Jeanpiere and Mickens.
--Veteran wide receiver Torrey Smith pulled off a ridiculous catch during a team period late in practice. Incredible concentration. Check it out.
