Brian, 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, 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.  Check out Complete in Box to see Spenser's video game store and podcast he plugged at the end of the episode.

Brian, Brad, and Jon talk about their impressions from the Panthersfirst week of preseason action. They share their most and least impressive players and Jon gets a chance to expand on his wildly unpopular Curtis Samuel take. They discuss if there was any discernible difference between the Panthers first team under Norv Turner compared to the Mike Shula era, how similar the defense will look under Ron Washington compared to Steve Wilkes, and how they expect different young players to be utilized. They also talk about the Josh Allen Experience before talking about DVOA and other fun stats from the past.

Brian, Brad, and Jon discuss the Panthers upcoming preseason game against the Bills. They talk  players to watch, what they want to see, and expectations for the coming season. They touch on the injuries suffered by Ross Cockrell, Daryl Williams, and Amini Silatolu and whether or not they think the team has plans in place to replace all of them. And of course, we'd be remiss to not talk about Kelvin Benjamin's comments regarding Cam Newton.

You got takes about the Panthers draft on the last show. This show is for takes about the rest of the NFL and the NFC South in particular. Falcaholic writers Jeanna and DW share their opinions on Matt Ryan's new mega contract and their reactions to the Falcons draft. They share optimism over the Calvin Ridley pick while Brad and Jon voice concerns. The show then pivots to laughing at the Saints for trading up to select a raw defensive end that some thought was a day 2 pick. We talk about the Buccaneers questionable decision to pass up the chance to improve their horrible pass defense in favor of drafting a space eating nose tackle.  Bonus discussions include the Patriots playing into the Twitter jokes, Brian falling asleep at the wheel, and the Falcons Brenton Bersin.

Brad, Brian, and Jon go pick by pick, breaking down each of the Carolina Panthers selections in the 2018 NFL Draft. They share their thoughts on each selection and how they think each player will affect the construction of the team. Brad spends the entire show trying to figure out the difference between Louisville and Maryland, and Jon's cat Toby makes a couple of cameo appearances.
