Are the dress rehearsal games no longer a thing anymore? With only 3 preseason games you'd think the 2nd or 3rd game would be the dress rehearsal but even going back to last year I don't think many teams had a "dress rehearsal" unless I'm mistaken. The Panthers were one of the few teams with a Qb controversy last off-season so it made sense we had starters playing in all 3 games but for other teams I don't recall seeing many starters. Anyone able to clarify?

Yeah I miss the old days where preseason game 3 was the one that truly mattered. 

Ever since they moved to a 3 game preseason, the teams are not aligned on when to play their starters. You would think that Game 2 would be the "dress rehearsal" game, but for a good portion of teams (i.e. the Eagles and Browns last night) - starters are still resting. 

IIRC starters don't really play at all Game 3 now.

      Morgan & Canales

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers

      She kicked ass. Obviously not the same but it’s an absolute pleasure to see this band live. What a great evening.
