The TEs will be an interesting watch. Burton won't play or won't play much. Hopefully Shaheen will. But 46 Dax and 49 Bunting will be a good compare. First time seeing our incarnation of the Pagano defense.
Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".

I absolutely cannot stand Cam Newton. That whole Superman thing he does makes me want to puke. I knows its the first preseason game but if Mack , Hicks or Nichols could find it in their hearts to plant him a few times it would make my day. I'm not expecting much from either the offense or defense. Just keep everybody healthy. I'm most excited to see what Run DMC can too. If Montgomery can break off a long run or two I'll be amped. Obviously if MY GUY Anthony Miller gets a TD I'll lose my shit.

Can't wait to see the rookies. Specifically, Montgomery and Shelley. Thursday can't get here soon enough!

I read that Cam probably won't play much this pre season due to recovering from his shoulder surgery.
Carolina defense will give us an honest litmus test of where our offense is. (Our D is great, but after a while, a team tends to cheat a bit when they see a play run a few times in practice).
And speaking of our D, can't wait to see some total destruction. Don't like the chances of Tayler Heinicke, Kyle Allen, and Will Grier

Excited football is finally back! But i am not expecting much of anything this game. Preseason game 1 I am expecting none of the starters to play or if they do 1-2 series at most without alot being done. But it will be a great game to see some of the new players, young guys and bottom of the roster players to see who may make this team.

Honestly I'm just looking forward to seeing Montgomery and Davis in this offense. I'll be watching the TE's and the depth OLB guys too.

Yup. Curious to see some of the pass rushers as well.

Last I saw, Nagy didn’t say whether or not the starters would play but they said he’d probably be conservative with their playing time similar to last preseason. Of course last year we had the 5th game, so who knows.

I’d be surprised if most of the starters played at all.

Honestly, I am looking at the same thing. I want to see Montgomery. I want to see Sowell and Dax in the offense. I also want to see the fringe WR's play. Like Wims and the Halls.

@UOK hmm not sure what I'm doing wrong

I have an idea. Let me check something quick.

**Edit**

Should be fixed now. Try posting a tweet again and let me know if you still have the issue.

I have to work tonight, so if anybody catches wind of a replay on NFL network or anything, you’d be my hero. Doubt it will be on here live 1000 miles from Chicago.

Well we lived long enough to see another season ! Please just keep the players healthy..this is just a practice/scrimage. I do not expect much to be revealed on play calls or D stunts etc. Just vanilla..and that's just fine..
STAY HEALTHY !!!!!!!!
