2008 NFL Preseason “Quick Analysis”
NFC Carolina Panthers
Location: Charlotte, North Carolina
Stadium: Bank of America Stadium
Coach: John Fox
NFL Championships: None
By trading away the first pick in the 2009 draft the Panthers have announced that they will leave everything they have on the field. The pick was used to shore up the offensive line with tackle Jeff Otah. He will be one of the keys to opening up the run game for fellow rookie running back Jonathan Stewart.
The Panthers are hoping the power back and a healthy Jake Delhomme will fill the win column and the seats. The team's defense still needs a lot of work, and the front office is taking a lot of gambles.
Carolina is hoping Julius Pepper will return to the from that sold season tickets five years ago and that Maake Kemoeatu and Damoine Lewis will become something at defensive tackle. The Panthers have an easier schedule playing in the NFC South, which will help them as they make a mad, desperate dash toward the playoffs.
Some Carolina Panthers history: When the National Football League expanded to the southeastern coast, it did not take the Carolina Panthers long to prove that the NFL had made the right decision. In 1995, the team won seven games—the most ever by an NFL expansion team. During the season the Panthers defeated the San Francisco 49ers to become the first expansion team ever to beat a defending league champion.
