Preseason Game Thread (NE vs. NC): The Countdown to Carolina begins.... (8/28)

omg newton sucks

T Brown very nice

O needs work. . . . But me likey this D.

Defense is legit tho.

ooohhhh butler SO fired up!

Look at that pressure! From the interior for a change!!

Crushing the pocket and screwing up Carolina's attempt to make Cam stay in the pocket. How long before he starts running again?

Nice stunt from Collins.

No. Calm down? Jimmy G can do it please explain why? I've never felt this a way in a preseason. Ever.

I think the CB position will be better than we thought going into the season. Too early to get too exciting, but the Butler/Brown combo isn't looking too bad. Both seem to have good coverage skills and instincts.

Carolina's actual starting offense is as bad as the JV squad we're running out there.

Ahhhh, Jamie Collins is filthy.

good from the defense!!

offense needs a pass catching back, vereen's loss will be huge. everything else should be fine though

nice interior pressure!

Wayne looks intimidated by the Pats aura...love his game but he just looks out of place

I hope Brady can get a couple first downs. I already sense the knees of the chicken littles shaking.

Defense is playing really well so far.

Because Jimmy G's doing it against third/fourth stringers that will be selling insurance next month. I've felt this way pretty much every preseason. The offense never looks good, especially when we're missing multiple OL starters against a good DL's starting group.

I'm liking this defense. They came to play. Good, because I'm not sure this offense can score.

Yes, yes he is. Jones is pushing hard too.

Tarrel brown is gonna be a great cb.
