What stands out the most in preseason?

I Don't pay much attention to team performance in preseason, more to individual performance.

That being said, our defense definitely misses Kemo, Beason, and Davis. Two of those will be back, what we do about the third will have a significant impact on our season.

Some individuals have really stood out. On offense, the running back whose name escapes me and Kenny Moore. Mccown looked really sharp last night as well.

On defense, Conner has looked good in spots, and Brown looks like he will be very good for us.

Kenneth Moore seems to be the legitimate #3 WR we've needed in the passing game. Dante Rosario continues to show he has potential as a recieving TE and that he will be there when needed. Mike Goodson is probably the only third string RB who could get me this hyped up. Our LB corps, once they get healthy and put their game faces on, are going to be a shear force of nature. For the first time that I can honestly remember, our offense is going to have to carry the team.

i agree with this whole post.

i would also add the amount of passing plays that our TEs are actually involved in.

and everette brown. the guy has looked very good so far. 2 sacks in 3 games. but he has also been getting pressure, especially last night.

Tackling is a problem and we need 2 Dt not just one.

thinking the same. peppers is not worth his money. it would be sweet if we could trade him for 2 firsts or a first and high second and take two DT's. next year. of course we won't and will pay peppers 20 million for 8.5 sacks.

God..the we should have not tagged julius peppers comments are starting already.

Seems to me that most people are blaming Peppers for being paid 18mil this season. Peppers just signed as anyone else would have done. Its not his fault he is way over paid. He just accepted the generous offer is all. Stop blaming Peppers for being so highly over paid. He didnt say "Pay me 18mill or i won't play!" He said "I want out!"

added:

Im not saying we shouldn't have. Im just thanking Fox for consuming our cap room for other players that might be needed when injuries occur.

    • I am optimistic that we might be on the verge of fielding a sustainable offense finally. The Bryce stats listed above are definitely encouraging. I don’t want to overly inflate this and disregard the previous 1 and a half seasons of production from Bryce and “cherry pick” stats but do hope the benching turns into an inflection point in his trajectory.      Lots of excitement heading into this season. 
    • Summary The 2024 Carolina defense posted a 44.9 grade last year, which was the worst in the NFL since 2020. They also had the worst receiving grade in the NFL despite a QB that emerged in the second half of last year. TMac is most likely WR1 in this class and is now WR1 in Carolina He's going to be incredibly helpful on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone. Highlights show just that: First highlight is Arizona vs. Utah. 4 verts vs. cover-0, TMac lined up alone on a go ball vs. press = we're launching it Second highlight shows his potential as the X. Runs a backside in-cut and the Tampa-2 MLB sells out on the corner route, leaving his back to TMac. Tough over the middle, explosive after the play. Sees TMac doing a lot of what Mike Evans was asked to do in Tampa. Third highlight shows how effective TMac is in the redzone and it's his one-handed catch vs. Travis Hunter. Brings "indefensible plays." Has size advantage that can beat guys, can jump, and has ridiculous hands. Will help Bryce in year 3 as it will allow him to continue playing "fearless" like he did after coming back from benching. Highlights show where TMac fits and re-emphasizes how he's going to make things easier on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone: Fourth highlight shows Bryce vs. ATL when he hit AT vs. AJ Terrell down the sideline. Bryce has to hold the single deep safety during his drop to give Thielen a chance (who is only 4yds off of the LOS when Bryce is throwing it). Registers the big-time throw attacking vertically. Fifth highlight is vs. KC on a blitz where Bolton is coming downhill while Karlaftis is dropping back over the middle. Has an in-route that has outside leverage with Chris Jones applying immediate pressure. Layered it over Karlaftis' head for the completion. Sixth highlight is the fade route TD to David Moore vs. Zona. in the redzone. David Moore was the X on this play. Thought this was interesting, especially considering recent conversations about Bryce's intermediate game needing to be better:
    • Nah its Rod Brindamour 0-11 in the Eastern Conference Finals under him.....   Three trips in seven years Zero WINS in the third round.
