That better not be the case. They need to be ready week 1. The easiest part if their schedule is the first few fames

I agree, but they do these practices with other teams so they don't have to play starters in the preseason.  We've seen it for years

lmao that's a good point;

but at the same time I think and HOPE Canales learned from how he operated last year, only giving us one real look against the Bills that had people shouting 'Super Bowl'...only to come out flat.

I predict the Panthers Starters will play 3 series all preseason

It would be playing with fire.

Some franchises can get away with it. We are not one of them. Too much youth and inexperience.

Back to back years starting out the season with 2 road games right off the bat we need to hit the ground running to avoid another repeat of last season.

I honestly would rather play the starters more than do these joint practices.  Always scared of injuries with them

We need to play our starters two games about a half each game or 1 quarter the first and a half the second. Honestly playing a few plays coming out of the half second game would be good for us overall as a team to get ready for the opening game. I also HOPE and pray Canales learned from last season no way in hell we don’t get actual plays and real reps this preseason seeing how we bombed topener fully intact having all the new additions we have it’d be even dumber then last year because you should always learn from your mistakes.

I would like to see the Starters in the first 2 preseason games get about 2 series each.  The final game should be those that are fighting for a roster spot.  

Plus I don't expect to see any real difficult plays being run. Very vanilla

We're going to have several (4-5 by my count) rookie starters and several starters on D that were on other teams last year. They need a lot more preseason snaps, especially the rookies! NFL is a big jump from college ball. And as it has already been pointed out, we need to hit the ground running and win those early game!

I'm sorry, I just don't see what difference it makes. Preseason is preseason. Coaches know what they need to get out of practices (which are decidedly more important), and--whether we want to admit or not--preseason games can upend seasons before they even start due to injuries. We see it every single year. 

We're going to have to be patient and let the process play out. So what if we're still learning and gelling in September? It's going to happen anyway, and a quarter or two in largely meaningless preseason games isn't going to change it. Fool yourself that it makes any type of substantive difference if you want, but it's the camp, the practices, film time and all that other stuff that happens over time that makes the real difference.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
