I mean, realistically the difference between most of our 2nd stringers and our PS guys is largely razor thin. Hence why maybe they are paying more attention to that.

There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of...

• Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4?
• Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell?
• Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it?
• Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS?
• Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston?
• DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots.
• Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5?
• What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts?
• CB5... who is it?
• Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

They had best show out in Week 1

there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense 

defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times 

…but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system

not up for any participation awards this season

they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.  
 

I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

I think week 1 is a great test for both cat teams.

Jags have a surprisingly solid roster with some names on that defense. They've got a rookie HC + rookie DC, which is good for Carolina, but Evero and Coen already met twice last season and it didn't exactly go what I'd call well.

Still... there's some match-ups to keep our eyes on:

• Campinile (Jags DC) comes from GB and was their run game coordinator on defense. The Jaguars have a stacked front seven as well. It'll be a really good test for the Panthers OL and run game.
• The Jaguars' offense has some guys, and Coen put up better numbers than Canales in his one season at TB, but they're going to have a similarly balanced attack that will allow the defense to rev up against a persistent ground game early.
• How will the secondary contain BTJ? Is Jaycee going to shadow him? That's going to give us a lot of insight into how different the scheme is from last year (if at all).
• Will the offense be able to get those chunk plays against a solid Jags defense that PFF graded top-5 in overall Defense, #1 in pressure, top-5 in coverage, and top-15 against the run?

• Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Depends on Tremble, Mitchell will be TE3 until he returns.
• Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Probably Thielen, Legette, Coker, McMillan, Renfrow, Moore. And then Tremayne or Horn get a weird IR designation and the other goes to the PS.
• Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Probably
• Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? Kingston > Walton > Carter
• DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. We have oddly carried 5 DL most of the time under Evero’s scheme so don’t be surprised if we do it again. Brown, Brown, Robinson, Wharton, whoever. 
• Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? Incoom makes it but Johnson probably gets traded for like a 7th rounder

Just my opinion
