OFFICIAL 2004 PRESEASON GAME 1 - PANTHERS @ PATRIOTS

Well...

The latest word is:  Bryce will NOT play on Thursday against the Patriots. (according to Panthers.com)

Bryce Young Will Sit OUT Against The Patriots

So...can I assume that the Oline has not yet "gelled" and they do not want to get Bryce killed?

By the way...Plummer is 6'5" ,,,,wondering..... can he run [for his life]?

Good question....

I THINK it's more a situation that is taking hold on all (most..) teams across the league. Many coaches have come right out and announced that their #1 QB will NOT play in the pre-season at all.  If they have a good, reliable #2, their offense can get the work in and they can evaluate players without the risk to their #1.  It's a risk vs. reward thing. It would be good to get some snaps with the #1, but the risk is still there and the potential reward is sorta low..??

I actually believe that our O-line is going to be pretty solid. It may take a week or two to iron out the little idiosyncrasies, but it should smooth out pretty quickly. (Hopefully..)  My one real concern is still Icky Ekwonu again this year.

Truth told, I am WAY more interested in the Jets game (and practice..).  Should give us an idea about a few things...
