Giants @ Panthers
It's American Football time again.
It is the first game for these two teams.
Whereas the Panthers restructered nearly their whole coaching team, the Giants did not change anything.
Carolina Panthers:
Head Coach -- Ron Rivera replaces John Fox
Offensive Coordinator -- Rob Chudzinski replaces Jeff Davidson
Defensive Coordinator -- Sean McDermott replaces Ron Meeks
Special Teams Coordinator -- Brian Murphy replaces Jeff Rodgers
After the lockout had ended all the 32 teams of the NFL went to training camp at the same time. The time the players spent at the camp was really short compared to previous pre-seasons.
A huge disadvantage for teams that had to be restructured like the Carolina Panthers.
Also, they still have big injury problems: DT Edwards and WR Gettis are probably out for the season and WR Smith is injured on his hand or something.
And there is still the problem with the QB: Jimmy Clausen will start today and he has played a horrible last season. He just was not able to throw the ball.
Cam Newton, 1st round draft pick, has still problems to get used to the new high level of playing - it's not college anymore.
Although it's a pre-season game where the underdog very often is the odds-on favourite, I do not consider the Panthers the better team.
Additionally, it is Ron Rivera's first game and season as Head Coach.
