If this was a regular seasons game and we were less than 72 hours away we would surely have a pregame thread by now. Seeing as this is a dress rehearsal game I think it is time for us fans to get in game shape too and shake some rust off.
Things I want to see
#1 Contain Cam - Last time we faced him he broke free for big runs. I would hope Hightower can play in this game and do better than last time. If he does not play then that is fine. I just want to see the entire D and particularly D line not allow him to break off the runs he did.
#2 Stop the Run - Panthers are a running team right now (they drafted Funchess but he is too raw and KB is out) I want to see them stop the run. It should be a good challenge but I am confident we have the guys to do it now that Brown has a little experience and Siliga is back.
#3 OL play - I have no idea who will be playing OL for the Pats but i want to see them do well. Carolina is not known as a great pass rush team but they have a few good players. I am more curious to see the amount of push we get on runs though and how to we with running against a defense with Luke Keuchly.
#4 Pass catchers - I honestly don't want either Gronk or Edelman to play in this game. Instead i would like Dobson/Wayne/Amendola/Chandler to get reps. I want to see what to see what they can do and what our 3rd down backs Lewis/White can do against this D.
As much as i wanna say I want to see the DBs if they get marched on this game i would find that worrying though I would like to see Brown/Butler on the field for a bit just to see how it looks.
