Preseason game with the Giants can't get here fast enough

[PanthersAlv]

In an interview Nick Hayden said he spent the offseason losing weight.

MAJOR SMH............

I coulda swore I read that he lost weight due to the new DC's idea of a faster line, more than a big wall line.

yeah but a 292 white defensive tackle....losing weight, to try and get faster is dumb.

Im looking forward to our preseaon games, but they are hardly a accurate measuring stick for what the regular season is going to bring imo.

Most of the time that is true. But last year we did get a sense that the Panthers would be a running team, especially in the Redskin game.

Let's wait and see how the Defense measures up before running around screaming that the sky is falling.

I know that offenses run vanilla schemes in the pre-season, but the first game against the Ginats shoudl give us an idea as to where our DL stands. The Giants are a physical running team. Will be a good early measuring stick....even if it is just pre-season.

The first quarter of game one and the first half of game 3 are telling, the rest not so much...

not so fast...I am actually anxious to see how the 2nd team plays. We have alot of young back-ups.

Seeing our 2 and 3rd string perform against someone elses same squad tellls you a great deal.
