I’ll be the first to say that in the past I’ve quickly gotten bored watching preseason game 4’s. Most of the players playing will be cut the next week regardless of how well they play. The score certainly doesn’t count and the starters will barely play. The level of play is more likely to resemble a Division II college game than it is Pro football. But I’m excited none the less because I want to see how the vets cut up on the sideline. The ring leaders are bound to be players like Jake Delhomme, Jon Beason and Chris Harris.

Center stage will be QB Brett Basanez as he tries to convince the Panthers to carry three QB’s. RB Decori Birmingham will try his best to unseat LaBrandon Toefield and Quinton Teal will try yet again to pull some local boy magic. Other players that should be fun to watch are DT Gary Gibson and DE Hilee Taylor. These guys play with speed and determination and I bet they excite the home crowd at some point.

Here's a good link on 5 things to watch in this game as well.

How about a roll call?

Roll Call -  A blog post that asks all readers (even those who never comment) to post a short comment as acknowledgement of their presence. The comment can be as simple as username and location but may also include any details about their love of the Panthers or blogging in general.

If you still haven’t registered as a user it’s about the easiest registration process ever. Give it a try, its painless.

Check in during the game as I should be blogging from my local watering hole, if everything goes as planned.
