Preseason 1 @ NYG

Did not get to watch the game, but based on the stats, it looked like our offense will be much better this year. Deshaun Foster had some nice runs with the first team. Also looks like we are moving away from the power running game and taking advantage of the speed in the backfield with DeAngelo Williams as well as Deshaun. Really wanted to see Taye Biddle’s 85 yd TD catch on TV, but could not find it. He keeps playing like that, he'll survice that cuts...I think

On Defense, rookie LB Jon Beason led the team in tackles, but what I got from the Panthers forum in Charlotte.com was that the defense was weak. I won’t get on Trgovac’s case just yet. No one shows their cards in the preseason. Let’s hope that he calls a more aggressive game with this defense once the season gets rolling. The 2002 defense was not this loaded with talent, but they were flying to the ball and hit harder. If he just brings back that intensity that left with Del Rio, I will not start a post in Charlotte.com asking for Trgo's head. I have a feeling someone will beat me to it.

Special teams gave up a huge return. That’s not good man!!! We need to clean that up.

Oh ya, we won the game :-) Not that it means anything, but Panthers have won 16 of the last 18 preseason games.
