SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott says hell miss having All-Pro cornerback Josh Norman roaming the secondary this season.But McDermott also has growing faith that the NFC champions will be just fine with three rookie cornerbacks that teammates have dubbed the Three Amigos.The Panthers wrapped up training camp on Tuesday at Wofford College with James Bradberry and Daryl Worley still working with the first-team defense and Zack Sanchez seeing plenty of action at nickel back.They have done a nice job out there so far, McDermott said. I like their poise. They played with the (starters) the other night against Baltimore and they looked they played with a clear mind, which is hard to do in your first NFL preseason game. To this point, the arrow is pointing up.McDermott says theres still work to be done.He knows it wont be easy to replace Norman, among the leagues top cornerbacks in 2015. Norman held opposing quarterbacks to the lowest passer rating in the league and had a breakout season that included four interceptions, including two returned for touchdowns.The Panthers initially put the franchise tag on Norman while contemplating a long-term contract extension, but later pulled the offer and allowed him to become a free agent. Norman signed with the Washington Redskins less than 48 hours later, leaving another hole in Carolinas secondary.A knee injury last season forced the teams other starting cornerback, 35-year-old Charles Tillman, into retirement and the team opted not to re-sign veteran safety Roman Harper.Carolina responded by drafting Bradberry, Worley and Sanchez with three consecutive picks last April.Bradberry and Worley have performed so well as starters the Panthers have kept them there even though it was expected one of those spots would go to Bene Benwikere once he fully recovered from a broken leg he suffered last season.But at least for now, Benwikere is behind the rookies on the depth chart.Panthers coach Ron Rivera said he has no fear of putting all three rookie cornerbacks on the field at the same time if needed, pointing out that the that 1981 San Francisco 49ers won a Super Bowl behind three starting rookie defensive backs in cornerbacks Ronnie Lott and Eric Wright and safety Carlton Williamson.In the meantime the Three Amigos have leaned heavily on each other.Being able to know that there are guys in the same position as you, it definitely gives you a level of comfortability, knowing, `Oh, he made the same mistake as me, Worley said. You can learn just watching someone else make the mistake.In the teams defensive backs room, no question is a dumb question since everyone is learning the system.But its clear the room is much quieter now without the brash and outspoken Norman, who feared no one and wasnt afraid to let you know it. It was Norman who got under the skin of opposing wide receivers Odell Beckham and Dez Bryant last year, disrupting their play with bold trash talk.But teammates say these three rookies dont do much talking.Thats one good thing is theyre not too loud, said Benwikere, who still hopes to rise up and win a starting job. Thats good, theyre all humble and they take coaching very well. I know our coaches and the staff love that.Said defensive tackle Star Lotulelei: They dont talk much. They just go out there and compete.Game notesThe Panthers will return to Charlotte, North Carolina on Wednesday to resume preparation for the season following their 22nd summer at Wofford College...

I dont know that Ive ever seen a more strange replay. Maybe there has been.The play in question came in the final minutes of a blowout win at the Big House on Saturday. Michigan completed a third-and-long pass near the sideline that referees spotted 2 yards short of a first down. Harbaugh opted to challenge the spot rather than face a fourth-down decision late in the game.The replay officials ruled that the original spot was correct. Michigan kept its offense on the field, converted the fourth-down attempt and then kneeled on the ball twice to end the game. The play, nonetheless, stuck in the coachs craw three daays later.ddddddddddddHe held a brief discussion of the rulebook with reporters Monday afternoon. A reporter suggested that referees might have let the ruling slide because of the lopsided score at the time.Is that in the rulebook? he asked. I havent come across that rule either.Harbaugh said later that he also disagreed with a roughing the passer penalty called against defensive lineman Matt Godin earlier in the game.Michigan players say Harbaugh doesnt pay much attention to the score of a game as much as hes zeroed in on each play. Thats trickled down to some of them this season.I agreed with him [on the challenge], senior cornerback Jourdan Lewis said. Hes competitive. Youve got to be competitive in this game. Theres no mercy. Once you give up mercy, you give up momentum. You dont know what can happen at that point. ' ' '
