"The thing about Shaq, he'll say something, and you say something back, and he'll just laugh," Darnold said. — Darnold was a little frustrated with himself for a couple of balls on the ground. It's reasonable to think that for the sixth overall pick in this year's draft (and the top player on their board), that's at left tackle for Ekwonu. — As expected, Rhule and the quarterbacks were asked about Monday's six-game suspension for Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, which would take him out of the opener. The Browns are expected to start Jacoby Brissett in Watson's absence. "For me, it's obviously not second nature yet, but I'm trying to make those steps toward you learn the reads well enough to where it's a reaction to get through the progressions and knowing where to go," he said. Coaches don't want players on the ground, and these are teammates, but that's kind of what they drafted Ekwonu to do. — Monday was the first day in pads, and players were fortunate that it coincided with a mild, somewhat rainy day. — Of course, Ekwonu was still taking most of his work with the second group behind incumbent Brady Christensen, though they're starting to mix things up. It's not being said to one person, and Sam hears another thing; it's right there in front of us and clear and concise." "Get in where you fit in," is the old football cliche, and that's what all three are doing so far. There could be, and perhaps some think there ought to be, but there really isn't.

Carolina Panthers training camp quarterback battle: Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold heats up as Charlotte NC NFL team practices with pads Monday in Spartanburg, ...
Mayfield brought his best practice to Wofford College to start Week 2 of Panthers training camp. Higgins opened immediately on a quick slant and Mayfield delivered a precise ball high and in front of Higgins for an easy score. Smith motioned across the formation and opened at the line of scrimmage as Darnold reached the perimeter. The confirmed fumble came via a read-option exchange with backup Spencer Brown. The smooth pitch-and-catch ended in Darnold and Smith congratulating each other in the end zone. Marshall started on the right of the formation and then worked over the linebackers and between a safety until Mayfield found him. A few players later Mayfield hit Marshall on a deep over route for a gain of 25. He did not do that on Monday, instead his opportunities were fumbled (once literally) by either his receivers not getting open against the Panthers’ No. 1 defense or him missing assignments. After a quick check, Mayfield took the snap. Darnold worked more heavily with the first team. Marshall extended, making the toe-taping diving catch. Mayfield is doing an excellent job controlling his eyes on dropbacks.

I don't play against the other quarterback [as much of] a cliche [thing] as that is to say.
