CHARLOTTE, N. Adam Gotsis Jersey .C. -- Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has changed his stance on how he views concussions now that hes had one.Newton, who just last month downplayed concerns over the long-term effects of repeated blows to the head, said Wednesday that he now better understands that concussions are real.Speaking publicly for the first time about the concussion he sustained Oct. 2 against the Atlanta Falcons, the leagues reigning MVP said he needs to be more careful in the future, calling the hit preventable. In the fourth quarter with the Panthers down two scores Newton purposely -- and inexplicably -- appeared to slow down as he approached the end zone on a 2-point conversion run.That allowed Falcons linebacker Deion Jones to hit Newton from the side. Newton said he never saw Jones coming.Newton doesnt remember reaching out the ball to score anyway, saying thats when I knew I was messed up.He left the game and did not return.He sat out the following week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as well with concussion-related symptoms.After watching the play on film Newton said, I was like, `just run through the (dang) end zone, Cam.While Newton said he intends to be more careful to eliminate unnecessary hits, he doesnt see his first career concussion changing the way he plays the game.I look at certain quarterbacks throughout the league and say, `Dang, I wish I could do that. Man, I wish I could win football games and make it look so cool like Tom Brady. Man, I wish I had the throwing accuracy or throwing style like a Matt Stafford or Aaron Rodgers, said Newton, who has run for more touchdowns than QB in league history. But my edge is running the football inside the tackle. If somebody tries to take that away from me, for what it is, thats me. Thats going forever be my edge in this league.The 6-foot-5, 245-pound Newton only ran the ball twice in Carolinas 41-38 loss to the New Orleans on Oct. 16 -- his first game back from the concussion. But he said that wont necessarily be the game plan when the Panthers host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.I know everybody was watching and saying `Well, how many times is Cam going to run? Thats me. Thats who I am. I would prefer to be involved in the game, Newton said.Newton said his ability to run makes defense prepare for extra things.So when you take that away, then the defense is like, `Yes! We dont have to prepare for a (running) quarterback, Newton said. So Im trying to find any and every way to create edges for us.In the past, Newton has downplayed concerns about concussions.After the sixth-year quarterback took four helmet-to-helmet hits in a season-opening loss to the Denver Broncos, Newton said at a press conference he wasnt worried about the long-term effects of cumulative hits to the head.Im not here to worry about retirement plans, Newton said on Sept. 14. Im not here to worry about pensions. Im not here to worry about workers (compensation). Im here to win football games, simple and plain.Newton is thinking differently now.He said he can relate to what Panthers offensive tackle Michael Oher is going through. Oher is expected to miss his fourth straight game on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals because of a concussion.Newton said he is even considering doing something to help educate younger football players and coaches about the dangers of concussions through his work with his foundation.At (the NFL) level, they are focusing on it, Newton said. But in Pee Wee ball, or high school football, that is what turns my stomach because they are being taught by some people who dont really know football.Newton said one thing is for sure -- he doesnt want another concussion.I aint never had that feeling (before), Newton said. I dont want it to happen to me or nobody else.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Jeff Heuerman Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. Jared Veldheer Jersey . McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford. http://www.cheapbroncosjerseysauthentic.com/?tag=authentic-terrell-davis-jersey .Y. -- Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo had little trouble picking up his first shutout of the season against a Buffalo Sabres team thats having trouble scoring goals. NORMAN, Okla. -- Khadeem Lattin showed he could also be a force on the offensive end for Oklahoma during the Sooners season opener on Sunday.The junior forward, mostly called upon for his defense to this point in his career, showed his offensive chops against Northwestern State, posting a career-high 19 points to go with 11 rebounds and lifting Oklahoma to a 97-61 rout.The only other returning starter from last seasons Final Four team, Jordan Woodard, added 16 points for Oklahoma (1-0). Coach Lon Kruger subbed early and often as 10 Sooners scored in the first half while Oklahoma raced to a 46-27 lead.Oklahoma has won 14 straight season openers and 19 straight home openers. The Sooners improved to 31-2 at home against nonconference opponents under Kruger.This group is going to make progress all the way through March, Kruger said. . Its going to be a work in progress for a while, but Im excited to see where they go and who steps up and who is doing what roles. Being that much different than last year is one of the more intriguing, enjoyable parts of this team -- the uncertainty of what lies ahead and who does what.Lattin was 7 of 9 from the field against Northwestern State (0-2). He had two baskets in an 18-2 run to start the game. After the Demons closed to 35-24, Lattin added two more during the final 4:24 of the half. The double-double was the third of his career.He said it was a different feeling to be an offensive focal point for the Sooners.You change the way you think, but you always just want the best results for your team, Lattin said. My teammates, we all do a really good job of moving the ball and were a really well-balanced team. We are able to attack and do things from all parts of the floor and thats really exciting.Zeek Woodley, the second-leading career scorer in NCAA Division I, led Northwestern State with 19 points, and Ishmael Lane and Malik Metoyer added 11 and 10, respectively. But there wasnt much else positive for the Demons, coach Mike McConathy said.Lane played hard but he couldnt finish plays, McConathy said. Zeek Woodley had a good line and Malik Metoyer . really had a lot of pop to him. Zeek is kind of a non-traditional player in that he is very efficient offensively. Hes very smooth. He kind of moves like hes loafing, but hes moving. I thought he competed well.BIG PICTURENortthwestern State: For the Demons, it was another chance to test themselves against a major-conference foe as they prepare for Southland Conference play. Dennis Smith Jersey. Theyve got two more opportunities to do so -- and maybe steal what would be a highlight win -- with road games at Missouri and Mississippi State later this month.Oklahoma: This was a classic icebreaker for the Sooners, who wanted a low-risk game to get acclimated to life without Buddy Hield, Isaiah Cousins and Ryan Spangler -- who started the past three seasons -- before likely facing their true first test later this week. The Sooners are 9-1 all-time against current Southland Conference members, including 6-0 against Northwestern State.BUFORD OUTOklahoma was without one of its more experienced players in sophomore Dante Buford. Buford was ruled ineligible for the Sooners first three games of the season for receiving an extra benefit for one of his complimentary tickets during last seasons NCAA tournament. Buford averaged 3.5 points per game off the bench last season for Oklahomas Final Four team.OKLAHOMAS NEW KIWIMatt Freeman might be a long way from challenging Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams as the states favorite New Zealand native, but the 6-foot-10 freshman made a strong first impression. Freeman went 3 of 4 from 3-point range, had a steal-and-dunk in the second half and finished with 15 points on 6-of-7 shooting.Im going to put it down to my poker face, to be honest with you, Freeman said. It was tough the first time I came out there . but the more you get up and down the court and get used to it, its just a basketball game.UP NEXTNorthwestern State: The Demons will take a break from their string of road games -- with four of their first six games against major-college foes -- to host NCAA Division III LeTourneau (Texas) on Friday and Louisiana State-Alexandria of the NAIA on Nov. 22.Oklahoma: The Sooners will travel to Orlando, Florida to play in the Tire Pros Invitational. Oklahoma will face Tulane on Thursday and either Arizona State or Northern Iowa on Friday, with the tournaments final round to be played next Sunday. Clemson, Missouri, Xavier and Davidson are on the other side of the bracket.
