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

LOL, we are only down by 3.

Nice Easley!!!!

I hate Putnam. They screwed me.

Our secondary isn't great but I'm really encouraged by the front 7. If they can stay mostly healthy it will go a long way for us.

Easley and Chandler Jones are looking beefier.

Brown has been impressing me and now Easley is looking good this game. It would be so great if they both panned out.

Both and them with Sheard Jones and Nink on the outside?

This could be one of the best D lines in the league by the end of the year if it keeps up that way.

This defense is going to be so freaking fun to watch. Incredible speed, swarming, multiple, can throw the kitchen sink. Collins gets tackled and Easley blows everything up anyway. I cannot wait to see that unit at full health throwing the kitchen sink at teams.

Rule change coming next year: kitchen sink ruled ineligible on passing downs

On the Panthers online feed (all I can get) they called "the incomparable Olsen".

Right.

He's an excellent pass catching TE.

I like Bradley Fletcher. He has done his job this summer, he hasn't been spectacular but he has showed well every week.

You work together to achieve your goals. What? Your goal wasn't to be screwed?!

I want to see Harper out there with Brady

Tell me about it. I gotta listen to these commentators slobber all over him and Ron Rivera like they're icecream. Makes me sick. He's probably gonna bring up Brady throwing 2 INTs again.

So is the radio pregame better or worse now that tanguay and Gresham are gone?

I'm not mark for those guys but I don't think they hired the right guys to replace them.

As awesome as that run stop was, I'm probably more excited about Easley's sack, where he won with something other than his explosion. That's one of the keys to success for a player like him. Explosion alone can get a guy by in college, but he has to be able to win more ways than that in the NFL.

Not worried about our O. Haven't seen Devlin much. Once Devlin gets hot, watch out.

They replaced Mason with Kline.

Why the heck is Bolden getting so much work?

Easley looks great so far.

There's Wayne.

Maybe they haven't practiced blocking yet?
