Friday’s game against the New England Patriots was a test, an important test that would show many fans what the Carolina Panthers were capable of in the up coming regular season.
Hopefully, it wasn’t.
The game started off pretty slowly for an offense that many of us hoped would dazzle us from its inception, but […]
Game Grades - Patriots at Panthers
0 Comments Published by admin August 25th, 2007 in Carolina PanthersAnother interesting preseason game.
Keeping in mind it was an exhibition, nothing more, here are the game grades:
Offense:
Jake Delhomme was a bright spot, completely redeeming himself for his lackluster performance a week ago. Jake was able to throw himself to a 109 QB rating. If he can do that on a consistent basis, the QB position […]

Last year Travelle Wharton was on the edge of a breakout season. He had been practicing as the starting left tackle after two years on the team. He had been drafted in the 3rd round, now had two years of experience, and was ready to be a full time starter on this […]

The sun is high in the sky, the sweat glistens on the forehead and butterflies in the stomach mean that the regular season is almost here. The long wait from the Super Bowl to opening day is nearly over; all we have to do is survive the preseason. Sure, the preseason is just […]
Game Grades - Panthers at Eagles

Jeff King also looked good, catching a clutch third down conversion in the second quarter, the first out of 6 […]

A respectable if not good performance by most of the Panthers offense. First impressions of the zone blocking are favorable, but I do not have my hopes up. It was too good to be true, and I sense the fog of preseason made the running game look much better than it actually is at this […]
Saturday night brings the first preseason game of 2007. Although it is nothing more than an over hyped scrimmage, there is always plenty of things hardcore fans can take away from the game.
The last time these teams met was Dec 10, 2006 at BoA Stadium. The Panthers had only two healthy cornerbacks available after Morton […]

How is it playing safety in the NFL so far vs. playing corner in college?
“It’s a completely different life. I was used to playing corner in college and now playing safety is completely different.”
How are the practice conditions different here vs. Texas?
“I’m used to 115 degrees and dry heat and this can be […]
Training camp observations for this morning:
Beason practiced with the first team for the majority of the day. Whenever he took the field, the starting offense often yelled “There’s a rookie out there!”.
Jeff King spent time in the offensive backfield in a split back shotgun formation along with Deangelo Williams.
Stanley McClover is the most vocal member […]
