What players stood out to you in preseason game No. 2? Let us know in the comments!

[@TheFanRookie]

Jamie Robinson and Chau Smith-Wade.

[@christopherlea5095]

Trevin Wallace is looking like one of them ones! Mills, Morgan, Beason, Davis, Kuechly, Thompson….Wallace next in line?

[@999FMTheFan]

Let's hope!

That the Panthers are hiding their issues (possibly Bryce not being prepared) away from the fans.

[@georgerivers6164]

Can we PLEASE give J.T. Sanders some LOVE!! He was blocking his butt off!!!

[@TheFanRookie]

@@georgerivers6164 he had a great day!! He looked awesome!!

[@psyburn21]

The improvement he's made in just one week with his blocking has been impressive. I hope he's able to earn that number 0.

[@christopherlea5095]

We didn’t spend a lot of time on him but we for sure are impressed by him!

[@Jaydeeyo54]

After last week's game, he should be the #2 TE behind TT, his blocking looked very solid and he'll only get better with more experience, loved the boom he layed after turning to run also. Young man's going to be something special for us

[@Tee803Jay]

Dillon got waived

[@gangstaland1]

dillon johnson is so tough he fits in with the team ! he’s great in pass pro and has great vision and power

[@zacheyea]

I’m glad someone agrees with me on Dillion Johnson !! Loved him in Washington. I deadass thing he’s better then Boone

[@Moveimfirst]

He’s better than chubba as well .the way he runs screams playoffs runner We need him!!! with the 1s like tomorrow because he can win you a ring at the goal line and first downs

[@georgerivers6164]

I know these were mostly reserves and backups, but I really like what the offense is doing. Last year, we were extremely stagnant, refused to motion, and didn't utilize the bootleg at all!! I'm a long time Panthers fan, and what really stood out was the ATTITUDE! We were more creative in one preseason game then we were the entire year in 2023...

[@robertpatterson3106]

The offense look just like last year. Except Plummer seem to be better at QB.

[@robertpatterson3106]

This podcast is not getting better it is getting worse. Really you are sucking like the Panthers.

Thanks for watching! We appreciate you!

[@justin_whitewolf2538]

Glad to see some people expressing some optimism after Saturdays game.

[@TheFanRookie]

I’m a lot less concerned about the secondary than I was two weeks ago.

[@musicluva314]

Defense is pretty deep and I’m really impressed with our defensive rookies in Trevin and CSW. I’m optimistic about Crumedy

[@TheFanRookie]

Hopefully Crumedy gets healthy. He might be destined for the practice squad to start off the year.

[@purplebeard1526]

The way #28 closed out the drive to end the game says a lot about him. Also I caught that segment about who Morgan wants too, and his thoughts on NIL and entitlement. Very interesting.

[@kyro5790]

offense even with backups in, the SCHEME is a breath of fresh air from last seasons vanilla ice cream offense. the offensive scheme is more complicated with jack plummer in preseason than it was with franks offense with bryce mid season. that says a TON, it is night and day with canales.

[@bradholt8755]

I don’t know why they are sticking with jack plumber when the offense runs so much better under Jake Luton . It’s not even close between the two of them.

Luton should be our 3rd. Offense looked better

[@christopherlea5095]

Listen, I feel so much better about this team tonight than I did last week at this time.

[@willtyson4924]

Y’all didn’t even address how good we looked in joint practice

[@TheFanRookie]

Yeah, we didn’t touch on it too much, but it was great seeing the team stack together solid showings together. The team is far from complete, and they’ll take their lumps this season, but it looks like they belong, which is a far cry from last season.

[@BillMac]

Glad the Panthers FINALLY got a TD, Wasn't happy at all with that playcalling at the end of the game. I felt like he didn't show any urgency in trying to get a score. No use to drive down the field if you arent trying to score.

Trevin Wallace, Smith Wade and I guess Robinson finally looked good tonight. But I swear… we’ve always had a decent defense. It sucks that we can’t mention a single offensive player who stood out. Smh.. I was at the game tonight and all I wanted was a TD. That’s all we wanted to see, all day/night. Left at the 2 min warning to try and beat traffic and watched the TD on a bar TV, while walking to the car. Glad the jets LET US score, to end the game/kill the clock. Good job guys……

[@taylorbasri2032]

Why is jack plumber still on the team....????

[@mrdonfranklin]

Are we watching the same games? Improvements where?

[@robertpatterson3106]

How can you say they shown growth. They aren’t playing.

[@LD_TV]

What cowboys trade!? 👀

[@ThreeThree6]

I think it's sad we have gotten to the point we are celebrating an L. I don't care if it's preseason put in your starters and try to get a W for crying out loud. Just win...

[@TheFanRookie]

The result of a preseason game doesn’t matter. It’s about this team progressing and growing. And from the players we saw play, they responded well to the coaching and looked better than the first game. That’s what matters.

[@ThreeThree6]

@@TheFanRookie love you bro and the show but i am just so frustrated with this team right now and feel like every year i get fed the same hype only to be let down and everything crumble into pieces three games into regular season i don't know what to believe anymore.

[@TheFanRookie]

@@ThreeThree6 to me this year is about establishing Canales’ and Morgan’s culture. That’s why I’m thinking this is a six win season, but we see the team turn the corner from the dead end they’ve been on in recent years.

[@ThreeThree6]

@@TheFanRookie I guess you're right lol I just need to hope for baby steps I suppose 😅 Good show today as always. I use yall to hold me over until Canes season haha, that Jarvis deal taking forever.

[@6832jack]

Zero growth in that shit show. Why did Plummer get 3 quarters over Luton? why run down the clock at the end of the game with time outs left to try more plays? Sick of coddling the "starters" when every other NFL team is trying things out in preseason

[@Kohnbread19]

Idk ehat you were watching then, because the team was significantly better yesterday than last week

[@tonygibson2924]

Why run the clock? Because it's not a video game.
