Official Panthers at Colts Gameday Thread

[iamhubby1]

Looking forward to watching the kids fight for their professional lives. Who can excel under pressure, who seems to shy away. I love watching these kids play.

 

Also, anticipating who will be the first Huddler to say; "Welp, if we're counting on any backups playing. We aren't winning many games.

Preseason is for evaluation. And letting fans get to know the new guys. 

So is open practice, fan fest, team media and game 1 of the season.

No Troy Pride in the starting line up. Yikes.

I'm not sure what's so confusing about the situation. We've seen the depth chart. We've seen the starting lineup for today.

He said we wouldn't see starters because they got their reps on Thurs and Friday and cuts are coming early week.

That's what we are seeing happen.

We've heard the reasoning. Doesn't mean anyone is right or wrong yet. It is peculiar though regardless of the scrimmages earlier in the week. Horn isn't going to face a light workload in this division with the likes of Brady and Ryan twice a year.

Another obvious thing that I'm surprised needs to be pointed out.

The depth chart can and will change. It's the first preseason game. Sheesh....y'all ever followed an NFL season before?

Big opportunity for Panthers' rookie Chuba Hubbard to step forward in the battle to be Christian McCaffrey's backup at running back. Rodney Smith and Reggie Bonnafon also are in the mix but both are a little banged up. Smith had been getting a lot of second-team reps. Hubbard's most impressive moment during camp may have been on Friday when he made a long kickoff return in a joint practice against the Colts.

I can see that I suppose as he isn't a rook. Yet T Marshall and B Christensen but no J Horn? Agree that preseason is becoming less and less neccessary for risk but if our first rounder can't even see some action why even put either of the first 3 picks out there? We got the Taints week 2 these fellas are going to get tested early.

Meh, I wouldn’t compare those two to horn, horn is gonna have a much bigger impact on the roster than those two. Also,  No one is worried about the taints.

I have a great feeling Marshall going make our QBs look great first half, chuba going break +20 yards run...

Idk. I think Indy has way way better depth than us.

Well they stand in the way of second in the division rn so I assure you someone in Carolina considers them relevant.

I really want to see those two in action. Especially Chubba, since he won't see the field much during the season.
