Preseason game 4

Hey. I guess I am just looking for advice. My family scored some tickets to the preseason game tomorrow and wants to take me. The drawback is I wont get off until 6 pm and I believe the game starts at 730. I would be coming from Greensboro. I'm trying to see if it's worth it because I probably won't get there until Half time( or later, depending on traffice) and I'm not sure how parking would be. Any advice? I'm debating on just telling him to give.it someone else who can make the game on time

I wouldn't pass even if it wasn't the starters. I guess I've been in so many pre-season discussion that I want to see guys like Cash and Sandland play. We went to training camp for 2 days as well, so I know all the players even ones that already got cut. If you aren't going to get a chance in the regular season then I would go.

Also, it depends on the tickets. We got great seats (2 3 rows back in endzone and 3 13 rows back) for the fan fest and my wife and kids loved it even though it was just a big practice. If we were in the upper deck, I don't think I would have braved the rain or gotten the seats. I'll watch this game (might be delayed since I have a draft) again because I want to see the guys trying to make the 53 and see how things like our safety/DE depth go.

That make sense. The tickets are lower level. Not sure exactly where yet. There are a few guys I am pulling for to make the team. Wish I just had the day off and this wouldn't even be a discussion

Everyone is different.  But first half likely will be Bersin, Byrd and the fringe guys battling.  2nd half and especially late I bet they throw a bone to guys who they have zero intention of keeping.

I'd watch it on the tube.  But I am an old cranky man with 2 small kids.  I like it when people kindly get the F off my lawn 

In my younger days I would go.  I'd probably go out after the game but a DD would be needed to pull it off

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
