We have to have a team this week that is really focused on football. "We had a team that was really focused on football. I want Brian Burns to do his 'Spider-Man,' whatever he does, as long as he's focused on football. I want full Christian McCaffrey as long as Christian is focused on football. I want full Cam as long as Cam is focused on football, which he is, so it's easy. "I want everything that Cam brings,'' Rhule said. While he emphasizes the game is about the team, not just one player, he understands with Newton comes added attention. One thing Rhule isn't worried about is the attention Newton, who has what many have described as a large personality, gets. "There's a lot to learn in a short time,'' said Rhule, reminding that Newton must fully grasp the two-minute package and end-of-game package, among other things. This came less than four full days after the 2015 NFL MVP signed a one-year deal that could pay him up to $10 million. He finished with eight plays, completing three of four pass attempts for 8 yards and a touchdown and rushing three times for 14 yards and a touchdown. Newton produced two touchdowns, a 2-yard run and 2-yard pass, on his first two plays against Arizona. "If he's not quite ready to do everything, obviously PJ's available. "He did a great job having 10 plays that he was kind of ready for,'' Rhule said Monday of Newton's role in Sunday's 34-10 road win over the Arizona Cardinals in which he backed up PJ Walker. The 32-year-old quarterback will be facing the Washington Football Team and former Carolina coach Ron Rivera, who made Newton the top pick of the 2011 draft out of Auburn. Cam Newton will get most of the first-team practice reps this week in anticipation of him being ready to make his first start on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in his second go-around with the Carolina Panthers.
