PreSeason Game #1: Panthers/Texans

[Achilles]

Rivera said the first team will get 12-15 snaps. That could be one drive or one quarter, hopefully it will only take one 7- 8 minute drive to eat up a dozen plays. Score a TD and bring on the auditions. it needs to be business as usual for this Offense. I would expect Anderson to play 2nd and 3rd Q, and Clausen to come on in the second half. No surprises on offense would be perfection.

Looking specifically at LaFell, Tolbert, Murphy, Barnidge, Brockel, and Amini.

For me this preseason is about how the defense develops. That will be an interesting aspect of the game to watch closely for 4 quarters. Which DL can get pressure on the QB? Will Nakamura solidify the FS spot? Who will emerge at CB2 (if it is Munnerlyn, then we are in trouble)?

Also, looking at Special Teams with much more scrutiny this preseason with battles at Kicker and Punter. I am excited to see what Joe Adams can do. I am really hoping Medlock gives them a reason to cut Mare.

I'm looking forward to seeing Kuechly in uniform on the field to start the game. Houston is a good test for this defense. They run strong and fast and have amazing depth at RB. They also have one of the best NFL receivers of all time (AJ), and a competent QB. They are difficult to force into a 3 and out situation and thats exactly where this defense needs to improve.

I'm looking forward to seeing our WR depth in action. I would like to see some good things out of Murphy, Pilares, and Adams in the passing game.

I'm also interested in the kicker battle. Hoping Medlock can push Mare off the team.

Still dont see any point to 4 pre season games

I would love to see them run the "annexation of puerto rico/fumbleruski/whatever you want to call it" again just to rub it in a little.

Someone just gave me 2 tickets to the game so I'm going!! I haven't been to a Panthers game in a really long time, I think the last one I went to was in the late 90's.. I'm still looking for someone to go with to use my other ticket.

lol damn nevermind, found someone already. Let me know if you guys meet somewhere before the game to do stuff!

If we dont win 157 - 3 it will feel like a loss. This offense is that great.

C'mon man. Let's be realistic. If we can hit 60, I would be happy.

On the other hand. Why Not? Cam plays the whole game. Everytime we touch the ball we score. Epic, the game would be epic.
