Rivera still hasn't said whether Cam is playing Fri. vs Bills. Would be "very limited" if he plays.

Gano has a bit of a sore back. May not go tomorrow. Jordan Gay would kick if so.

Harper out, obviously. Silatolu and Pilares are fine, will play.

There is no need for Cam to play, we already know what CJ brings to the table.  Honestly, if I had my way we would only play preseason games for rookies and camp invites to show their worth. jmo

Heard someone say Benjamin dropped his first 3 passes today at practice?  Any truth to this?

[BigBoss]

Psh, I've waited long enough, I wanna see Cam play!! I'll take one drive.

Starters need reps in game action. Especially cam with the receivers. First game though is meh. I'd like to see him play in the 3rd and 4th preseason game though

Rivera said could be coincidence Benjamin dropped pass on day Cam Newton didn't throw much to him. #Panthers

Very pleased to hear the news about Alexander and that comment from Riverboat, considering he seemed to be in the doghouse from the start year. I predicted a big year from him last year , but if he can produce this year after he gets back it will make our d-line absolutely legendary.

NO!!  He was the chosen one!!!!!

This pretty much sums it up.  If the ankle is not ready then lets wait a bit.  Get a few extra reps in games 2-4 if necessary.

Especially with the suspension looming  Thought that it might make Alexander be a bit lack luster.  Seems to be the opposite.  I think this can work out nicely if he can put the suspension behind him.

Nothing prepares you for game speed except games.

Does he mean "Alexander earned it" or "Ealy hasn't"?  Discuss.

Alexander has earned it.  He was a high talent coming out of college as well.  He showed some emotion last year during a game, and got the suspension in the offseason.  In the huddle, that equals bust or written out of the equation.  Alexander has skills, and will contribute this year.
