Does Cam play?

Cam plays 1 series

 

Kyle Allen and Grier split the rest of quarter 1, 2, and 3

Burns gets a sack

Samuel catches a long pass

 

I pray Cam doesnt play jist because, I fear for his life with Mack facing Williams or Little

 

24-17 Panthers

Just now, Jeremy Igo said:

I honestly would be shocked.

If he plays or just the 1 series?

I hope he doesnt because all it takes is 1 Kalil Mack shot and our season is in jeopardy 

 

I could see him however playing 1 series due to

1. New Center, gotta get reps with him

2. Still young WRs, who are starting that he needs to get rhythm with

I can't see Rivera putting Cam in for this game. There is literally no upside with a whole lot of down side.

No Cam. I'm thinking no Luke.

 

The first string D punishes the Bears O, and they barely manage to move the ball more than a first down or two. Allow no touchdowns until the 2nd team works its way in.

Allen gets first team reps. Grier gets one drive in the first half. Shows out in the second.

Gano misses his first field goal and this place literally immolates.

I think the depth of this team shows up and we look better with the 2's and 3's than we have in recent years.

This year's team has more quality depth in most positions than we have had in quite a few years, and I think that will show well in the preseason including this game.

I wouldn't be surprised if we win most if not all the preseason games b/c of this

This is a good situation to be in, especially as the season progresses.

Picking scores in the pre-season is a total crapshoot.

These games (the first 3 especially) are decided by the 2nd and 3rd stringers, playing for a roster spot.  Anybody can fumble; anybody can run back a pick.

Though it's subject to change, Rivera's already said "all 4 QB's will play."  We'd all be shocked if Cam sees more than the first series.

All that said, I think our depth is better than it's been in many years, and better than the Bears'.

Panthers 24, Bears 13.

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
