You know what??

Fugg it. Friday night and got me my beers.

The wifey is away.

So I'm super optimistic about Sunday.

And the end of the fuggin day... I love me my Panthers.

In prior seasons we would se the starters in first preseason game for what 1 series? We lose a preseason game and he wants to see the bottom of the roster in real time game situations. This really makes a lot of sense with losing a preseason game.  We're talking about 1 series here, why all the drama

Gotta get tape on players I guess!!

Seems if you wanted to give guys a game off it would be game 3.   That why you aren’t banged up going into week 1.  And as of right now it is the only one Rhule will say for certain he will play Darnold and company. 

They will get game 3 off too.

There's already a week off between preseason and regular seaaon.

He didn't say it was to give them a game off. He said it was to look at the non starters because they have cuts on Tuesday. 

Does anybody listen to interviews or read the articles?

Rhule doesn't want a scenario of Darnold playing behind Second and third team O-line.

I wonder why?

He will all season though.

per Rhule he was going play starters preseason game 1 as late as Wed.  Two days later it is doubtful they see any action the next two. 

that doesn’t sound like a masterplan and big picture vision of how he intended to handle the preseason this year.    Sounds like a last minute change that people are declaring is a masterplan just because everything has to be spun that way

Preseason one tends to be starter lite anyway.

This year's preseason "game to watch" is expected to be game two.

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

They can't play at least one series? TF? You gotta throw us football-starved fans a bone right now.

If he and Reich talked and this was the plan, OK.  Not sure that I agree with it being we are as young as we are, but whatever.

I get not starting CMC, Burns, Robby, Jones....but the rest of this team could use some reps.  Guess this is the new normal.

The thread title is kinda wrong.

I'm very much on board with the ones not playing tomorrow.

The OL has been in constant flux it sounds and putting Sam behind whatever patchwork unit they march out there is not a recipe for success. Plus, depth is a real concern with a roster going through the type of churn that the Panthers' has. Injuries will happen, so there has to be quality depth in case somebody goes down. Look at how the offense suffered when CMC went down and how much the deep passing attempts tapered off after Teddy's knee injury. Combine that with lackluster OL play and well... there's three reasons right there why they weren't winning any shootouts.

I'm especially excited to check out the competition at WR, DB, and the DL.

Plus, this means we should see Tommy Tremble
