1) I want to see a healthy game, no injuries for the love of god

2) Young- how does he look completing passes against an NFL D-line and his situational awareness in the pocket

3) Mingo- is there a "connection" from day 1 between he and Young

4) O-line- we are missing key starters for the beginning of the season, how does our second team look

5) 3-4 defense, we have a lot of returning starters in a new scheme, how will they look in a 3-4

2 Main things for me.

Interior offensive line- Corbett is out, can whoever replace him keep Bryce safe?

Depth at linebacker.-I'm excited for the bunch we have this year but Burns doesnt have his extension yet, Deion Jones and Justin Houston signed 1 year deals , Luvu also is in his last year on his contract and Shaq's dead money becomes manageable next year. It could go from a strength to a weakness shortly if we don't address.

1. YGM/DJ Johnson/Barno at edge. Want to see a flash. 
 

2. Corral; can he be the cheap backup on his rookie deal, or build value as a trade piece. 
 

3. Mingo/TMJ/Shenault. Just excited to see them play. Want TMJ to take that step. Want to see Shenault in the backfield. 
 

4. The whole TE room. Want to see their strengths match what they are asked to do. That hasn’t been the case the past few years. 
 

5. McCall. That is all. Roster moves indicate he has the staffs confidence. I’m excited to see him at 3-4 nose.

I only want to see one thing (aside from everyone coming out healthy)....

Gelling. Cohesion. I want to see some semblance of every aspect of this team all being on the same page.

OL, QB/receivers, QB/OL, front 7, secondary, defense as a whole, special teams.

I don't care if mistakes are made as long as I see each unit fitting together or at least trending that way.

I second this.

I want to see how our backup CB's perform. Honestly, with Horn and Jackson both coming off injuries, there is no reason why either should get more than 1 set of downs, if that. I wonder if Henderson can be coached up to play good enough, and I want Taylor to finally take a step up to be consistent depth. 

Also want to see the 3-4 D since I'm not as up on that system as I want to be.

Bryce mudderfuggin Young!!!!!

edit: Excited to see Hubbard playing RB1, and how much size he's gained.

Interior offensive line play is what I'm watching the most b/c that IMO is the biggest concern heading into the season.

Secondarily, I'm interested in how our edge rushing and secondary depth looks.

Obviously want to watch Bryce, but I'm not going to freak out one way or another based on what will probably be a small sample size on Saturday.

I really wanna see how the defense lines up although since it is preseason I'm not sure if we will even see anything like what we'll see in the regular season.

Really curious where and how they use Chinn.

Wanna see if Corral is worth a bag of nickels.

I'm still nervous about depth at RB and wanna see what the backup look like.

And I guess Bryce.

It’s quite possible Henderson just doesn’t have it, but to be fair, he’s had the shittiest luck so far regarding coaching staffs. 
 

You never know. 
 

Here’s to finding out this season. 
 

(And that applies to all the young guys in particular)

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      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

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Icege · Posted

      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.
