5 things to watch in Friday’s Panthers-Patriots exhibition

Benjamin played eight snaps in the exhibition opener at Baltimore before getting nine last week in Tennessee. Assuming Benjamin sits in the preseason finale against the Steelers, he'll have to triple his workload from last week to approach the 30-35 snaps Rivera set as his goal by the end of the preseason.

 

Am I missing something here? 8+9 = 17, so to get to 30-35 snaps, Benji needs to play 13-18 more snaps. That's nowhere near close to triple the workload of last week (9*3 = 27). Unless Rivera's goal was to get Benji 30-35 snaps in any one particular preseason game, which makes no sense either.

He played 9 snaps last week. 9 tripled = 27, which is a number approaching 30-35. Now, if Rivera said the goal was for him to get 30-35 total in the entire preseason then you're right on. I don't read it that way though.

I hate the fact we are playing NE because IMO it won't give us an accurate portrayal of where we are at.

Brady to my knowledge isn't play.  IMO, Brady would expose how our last lineup configuration of  DBs aren't ready to be week 1 starters.

This is what I was saying in the practice thread yesterday. I suspect when carolina agreed to play NE, one reasons is to play against Tom. We could have played the Bengals instead. Another AFC playoff team

Yeah, I guess it's in the interpretation. I always thought it was 30-35 snaps over the course of the entire preseason, rather than 30-35 snaps in a preseason game, but I'm probably wrong on that.

I wan't to see more Byrd

If he can be as durable as Antonio Brown, he might just end up like Antonio Brown

Byrd's question is his durability, being that small

This.  I want to see him with Cam and the 1's a little.   Him in the slot between the KB/Funchess towers.  See what he can do

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.

      It is goofy how some people hate Bryce so much that they're flat out lying to try and remain entitled to their pessimism. It's insanity. Most fans are realists and eagerly awaiting the season to see if we get pre- or post-benching Bryce to start the season and how much he is able to do with some young and developing weapons. Many of us understand that these young guys are going to have growing pains on the job as well as the new defense, but the fans with all of the excuses for why Bryce can't be successful are pounding the no excuses drum. Personally, I'd prefer the Keep Pounding drum.
