4th and Short Podcast: Previewing the ‘important’ third preseason game

Brian Cheap Customized Carolina Panthers Jerseys , Brad, and Jon are joined by Brian’s friend Spenser to talk about the Panthers preseason tilt against the Patriots. You may know Spenser from last year’s Panthers vs. Patriots preview www.panthersfootballauthentic.com , as he joined us to correctly tell us that we were dumb for thinking the Panthers weren’t going to beat the Patriots in Foxboro. There are no game predictions this time, but we did talk about which Patriots players are worth watching and how this Patriots team is different from those of years past. Of course that’s interspersed with talk about what’s expected of the Panthers with their patchwork offensive line and young defensive backfield. And Brad is there to remind us the importance of the third preseason game. Check out Complete in Box to see Spenser’s video game store he plugged at the end of the episode.

Cam Newton was limited in practice again today Carolina Panthers T-Shirt , but he doesn’t seem to be concerned about missing Sunday’s game in Cleveland. The Panthers have limited him in mid-week practices all season long and have gone as far as calling it ‘the new normal’, so unless something drastic changes between now and Sunday you can pretty much guarantee that Cam will be on the field for Carolina.The only other player to be limited today was kicker Graham Gano. There’s no word on whether or not it’s serious enough to be concerned Carolina Panthers Hats , but the Panthers haven’t said anything to make us worry just yet.It could be nothing, but it could also be a huge deal.
