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.

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.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By frankw · Posted

      Then Dan Morgan should be on the hot seat. Wasting a first and second rounder in a pivotal year is unforgivable.

      If they draft a 1st round receiver he's gone.

      They addressed D in free agency in a big way (Edge, ILB) and they signed a starting OT and a player they think could be a swing OT in reserve.  They have claimed to be adding "Weapons" to the offense.  I think that will be their focus.  I agree 100% that we need a T, but a reserve, developmental OT in a weak (at the top) draft does little to address that weakness in 2026.  If they are telling the truth, a reserve developmental OT is not a weapon.  The will draft a WR if that statement and their actions in free agency are accurate.  That does not mean we ignore OT--I just dont see where he takes a T if he is filling holes. As a coach, I am concerned about OT, but when I look at the roster, I see bigger immediate problems. S: We are OK if you want Scott for another season. Not ideal.  There is also talk of Smith-Wade being moved to S.  If so, we need a CBN. DT: Who took Robinson's job?  He played a lot.  All DTs (NT-DE) were average to below average, (except Derrick Brown) including 280 lb wharton.  We need a DT (my preference for the first pick, to be honest)  I am guessing a DT will be our third rounder? ILB:  Unless we want Wallace out there in coverage, we need a compliment to Lloyd.  I think Lloyd's starting mate is the second rounder. (speculating)  This pick is likely to occur in the second round because it is for a starting position. WR:  Some are fine with what we have.  sIn 2025, Coker had 3  TDs on 394 yards.  Legette had 3 TDs and 363 yards--and only 1 drop.  I love Coker, but neither should make us feel secure about WR with those numbers.  A lot depends on both stepping up in 2026, but Canales has been screaming weapons.  Could he mean Tight end?  That depends on how good they feel about Coker and XL. Center:  You can get a player ready to start relatively early in the middle rounds.  Very similar to the OT situation but I think C may be more of a priority right now than OT.   Tight End:  They seem to like Delp from Georgia who projects round 4. CB:  There was some talk of moving Smith-Wade to S (to learn for a season with Scott, maybe?) and that might require adding CB depth inside. Tackle?:  I agree that we need one, but this draft is simply not strong at the top at T.  The ONLY way to get a quality OT that is still developmental is to take one in round 1.  Canales has all but said we are not doing that.  But after the first 40 picks or so, they pretty much level out for a good while.  The fifth rounders and the third rounders are about the same.  For that Reason, I am guessing (It is all guesses) that they take someone like the OT from Boston College or Memphis.  Work with the OL coach (OT specialist) for a season.  I dunno
