The Panthers looked decent on offense for the most part last night but the defense got battered by the Steelers’ offense.  Cam Newton made a brief appearance in this game and he completed 3 of 5 passes for 25 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 INTs.  He also carried the ball 1 time for 19 yards.  Derek Anderson followed him into the game as he was solid in completing 11 of 19 passes for 192 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 INTs.  Jimmy Clausen still looked lost as he completed 7 of 17 passes for 87 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 INT.  Mike Goodson had a solid game with 31 yards rushing on 7 carries (4.4 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 39 yards (19.5 avg).  Josh Vaughan pitched in with 25 yards rushing on 6 carries (4.2 ypc) in this game.  WR Wallace Wright (3 rec, 51 yards), WR David Clowney (2 rec, 45 yards, TD) and TE Jeremy Shockey (2 rec, 19 yards, TD) led the way in the passing game for the Panthers.  The Panthers finished up with 95 yards rushing on 23 carries (4.1 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 41 passes (51.2%) for 280 yards.

The defense didn’t look too good for the Panthers last night.  Safety Kevin Payne led the way for the D with 9 tackles and 1 tackle for a loss.  LB Thomas Williams (6 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss) and CB R.J. Stanford (5 tackles) also pitched in this game for the defense.  The Steelers finished up with 154 yards rushing on 30 carries (5.1 ypc) and they also completed 17 of 30 passes (56.7%) for 208 yards.  The Panthers finished up the preseason with a 1-3 record.

The Panthers looked pretty bad yesterday.  Offensively they stunk all night long, defensively they stuck in the second quarter when the Bengals scored all 24 points and played decent the rest of the way.  Rookie QB Cam Newton looked lost last night as he only completed 6 of 19 passes (31.6%) for 75 yards with 0 TD passes and 0 INTs.  He did look good running the ball though as he had 4 carries for 49 yards (12.3 avg) with 1 TD run.  Jimmy Clausen finished up the game last night by completing 4 of 7 passes for 35 yards without a TD pass or an interception.  DeAngelo Williams led the way on the ground for the Panthers last night with 27 yards rushing on 5 carries (5.4 ypc).  He also caught 1 pass for 11 yards for the Panthers in this game.  Jonathan Stewart had a rough time last night with 13 yards rushing 8 carries (1.6 ypc).  TEs Greg Olsen (1 rec, 28 yards) and Jeremy Shockey (2 rec,21 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Panthers last night.  The Panthers rushed for 108 yards on 25 carries (4.3 ypc) and they also completed 10 of 26 passes (38.5%) for 95 yards as they only had possession of the ball for 25:47 last night.

The defense played hard but they just couldn’t seem to get off the field last night.  LB Thomas Davis (11 tackles, 1 pass defensed), safety Charles Godfrey (10 tackles) and LB James Anderson (8 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 sack and 1 QB hit) led the way for the Panthers’ D last night.  DE Everette Brown and CB Chris Gamble pitched in with 1 fumble recovery apiece last night.  The Bengals finished up with 191 yards rushing on 41 carries (4.7 ypc) and they also completed 18 of 27 passes (66.7%) for 165 yards last night.  The Panthers are now 1-2 on the preseason.

The Panthers showed no life on either side of the ball last night and they were lucky that they didn’t get beat a lot worse.  QB Cam Newton started at QB last night and he didn’t look too sharp.  Newton completed 7 of 14 passes for 66 yards with 0 TD passes and 0 INTs.  He also carried the ball 4 times for 18 yards (4.5 ypc) last night.  QB Jimmy Clausen finished the game out for the Panthers last night.  He completed 9 of 15 passes for 69 yards with 0 TD passes and 0 INTs.  He also carried the ball 1 time for 4 yards last night.  RB Josh Vaughn led the way on the ground for the Panthers in this game with 21 yards rushing on 5 carries (4.2 ypc).  He also caught 2 passes for 21 yards (10.5 avg) last night.  Tyrell Sutton also had a solid game with 5 carries for 19 yards (3.8 ypc) with 1 TD run and he also caught 4 passes for 29 yards (7.3 avg) last night.  TE Jeremy Shockey pitched in with 3 grabs for 24 yards (8.0 avg) last night.  The Panthers finished up with 68 yards on 18 carries (3.8 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 29 passes (55.2%) for 131 yards last night as they only had possesion of the ball for 22:11 in this game.

The defense probably got pretty tired last night as they were on the field most of the game.  LBs Dan Connor (8 tackles) and Thomas Williams (7 tackles and 1 QB hit) led the way for the Panthers’ D last night.  DE Thomas Keiser pitched in with 3 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss and a fumble recovery last night.  The Dolphins finished up with 164 yards rushing on 43 carries (3.8 ypc) and they also completed 21 of 34 passes (61.8%) for 253 yards in this game.  The Panthers are now 1-1 on the pre-season.

The Panthers played pretty solid all around football last night as they earned a nice win over the Giants.  Jimmy Clausen completed 4 of 7 passes for 69 yards with 1 TD pass and a awful interception that was returned 56 yards for a TD by Giants’ LB Michael Boley.  Cam Newton was so-so in his debut with the Panthers as he completed 8 of 19 passes for 134 yards with 0 TD passes and 0 INTs.  Derek Anderson was the sharpest QB for the Panthers last night as he completed 3 of 4 passes for 71 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 INTs.  Mike Goodson led the way on the ground for the Panthers with 30 yards rushing on 8 carries (3.8 ypc) and he also caught 2 passes for 20 yards (10.0 avg).  DeAngelo Williams pitched in with 23 yards rushing on 4 carries (5.8 ypc) and he also caught 1 pass for 16 yards.  TE Greg Olsen (3 rec, 58 yards, TD) and rookie WR Kealoha Pilares (1 rec, 35 yards, TD) led the way in the passing game for the Panters last night.  The Panthers finished up with 102 yards rushing on 25 carries (4.1 ypc) and they also completed 15 of 30 passes (50%) for 240 yards last night.

LB Thomas Williams led a nice effort by the Panthers’ D with 8 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 sack and 1 QB hit.  Safety Sean Considine (7 tackles) and LB Jordan Senn (6 tackles) also had solid games  for the Panthers’ D last night.  The Giants rushed for 81 yards on 25 carries (3.2 ypc) and they also completed 22 of 37 passes (59.5%) for 217 yards.  The Panthers’ D gave up less points (3) than the Panthers’ O (7 points) gave up last night.  The Panthers looked good in their first pre-season game of the year.

The Panthers really mailed it in last night not putting up much of a fight with the Steelers.  Hunter Cantwell started this game and he completed 6 of 9 passes for 36 yards.  Rookie Tony Pike finished up things by completing 10 of 18 passes for 44 yards.  Rookie WR/QB Armanti Edwards completed 1 of 2 passes for 6 yards and he also caught 2 passes for 10 yards.  Dantrell Savage led the way for the Panthers on the ground with 33 yards rushing on 8 carries (4.1 ypc) last night.  Rookie WR David Gettis pitched in with 2 grabs for 15 yards last night.  The Panthers finished up with 72 yards rushing (3.4 ypc) and only 51 yards passing last night.

Linebackers Nic Harris (8 tackles) and Jamar Williams (8 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss) led the way on D for the Panthers last night.  The Steelers finished up with 168 yards rushing (4.3 ypc) and 105 yards passing last night.  The Panthers finished the pre-season with a 1-3 record.

The Panthers defense was the reason for the win last night over the Titans.  LB Jon Beason led the way for the Panthers last night with 5 tackles and 1 tackle for a loss.  DE Charles Johnson was all over the place for the Panthers last night with 4 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 2 sacks and 2 QB hits.  Rookie DE (6th round) Greg Hardy pitched in with 3 tackles, 3 tackles for a loss, 1 sack and 3 QB hits.  CB Brian Witherspoon only had 1 tackle last night but he also defensed 2 passes and had 2 interceptions.  The Titans finished up with 45 yards rushing (2.3 ypc) and 172 yards passing.

Matt Moore looked decent in this game as he completed 18 of 33 passes for 190 yards.  Jimmy Clausen finished up the game by completing 4 of 5 passes for 79 yards.  Mike Goodson had a great game last night as he was the star of the show for the Panthers.  He carried the ball 4 times for 30 yards (7.5 ypc) and he also caught 1 pass for 18 yards.  But it was on special teams where Goodson made his biggest impact as he returned 1 kickoff for a 91-yard TD.  DeAngelo Williams found yards hard to come by last night with 9 carries for 13 yards (1.4 ypc).  TEs Gary Barnidge (1 rec, 50 yards) and Dante Rosario (3 rec, 38 yards) led the way in the passing game for the Panthers.  Rookie WR (6th round) David Gettis pitched in with 3 receptions for 31 yards in this game.  The Panthers finished up with 59 yards rushing (2.6 ypc) and 269 yards passing in this game.  The Panthers are now 1-2 on the pre-season.

The Panthers QBs have really been stinking it up this pre-season.  Matt Moore is still in line to be the starting QB despite playing poorly this pre-season.  He has completed 10 of 24 passes (41.7%) for 89 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 INT (34.9 QB Rating) so far.  Rookie 2nd round pick Jimmy Clausen also isn’t looking too great as of yet.  He has completed 17 of 37 passes (45.9%) for 152 yards with 0 TD passes and 2 INTs (35.0 QB Rating).  He has also carried the ball 5 times for 26 yards (5.2 ypc) so far this pre-season.  He is the #2 QB for the Panthers right now.  Hunter Cantwell has also looked pretty awful so far.  He has completed 6 of 17 passes (35.3%) for 68 yards with 0 TD passes and 0 INTs (48.2 QB Rating).  The Panthers might as well give 6th round pick Tony Pike a bigger audition the next two weeks.  He has only thrown 1 incomplete pass this pre-season.  The Panthers would have nothing to lose giving Pike a chance to show what he can do because I doubt that he would clear waivers to be placed on the practice squad because whispers are that the Bengals would claim him.

The Panthers were awful offensively last Saturday Night.  Matt Moore looked pretty stinky in this game as he only completed 6 of 17 passes for 57 yards with 1 INT.  Jimmy Clausen wasn’t any better as he completed 9 of 22 passes for 72 yards with 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 3 times for 15 yards (5.0 ypc) in this game.  Mike Goodson led the way on the ground for the Panthers in this game with 33 yards rushing on 6 carries (5.5 ypc).  He also caught 3 passes for 18 yards (6.0 avg) in this game.  DeAngelo Williams pitched in with 26 yards on six carries (4.3 ypc) in this game.   The Panthers finished up with 82 yards rushing (3.9 ypc) and 93 yards passing in this game.

The Panthers looked good running the ball offensively and they were solid on defense in the rain against the Ravens last night.  Matt Moore started the game for the Panthers and he was so-so completing 4 of 7 passes for 32 yards.  Jimmy Clausen was the second guy is and he completed 8 of 15 passes (53.3%) for 80 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 INT.  He also carried the ball 2 times for 11 yards (5.5 ypc) last night.  Hunter Cantwell was the third QB in for the Panthers and he was awful completing 6 of 17 passes (35.3%) for 68 yards.  He also carried the ball 1 time for 10 yards.  Tony Pike finished up the game at QB by throwing 1 incomplete pass.  RB Josh Vaughan led the way for the Panthers on the ground with 48 yards rushing on 11 carries (4.4 ypc).  DeAngelo Williams pitched in with 5 carries for 33 yards (6.6 ypc) last night.  Tyrell Sutton was also busy for the Panthers with 4 carries for 32 yards (8.0 ypc) and 3 receptions for 22 yards (7.3 avg) but he did lose a fumble.  WR Dexter Jackson led the way for the Panthers in the passing game with 35 yards on 2 receptions (17.5 avg).  The Panthers finished up with 142 yards rushing (5.5 ypc) and they also threw for 131 yards last night.

Defensively the Panthers looked solid as they finished up with 6 sacks and they stuffed the running game of the Ravens.  Rookie 6th round pick Greg Hardy was outstanding for the Panthers in his debut last night with 5 tackles, 2 sacks, 4 tackles for a loss and 2 QB hits.  DE Eric Moore also had a solid game with 5 tackles, 1 pass defensed and 1 fumble recovery.  CB C.J. Wilson finished up with 3 tackles, 1 pass defensed and he returned a fumble 31 yards for a TD.  The Panthers held the Ravens to 61 yards rushing (2.3 ypc) and 164 passing yards last night. 

The Panthers were caught sleepwalking again last night.  Jake Delhomme was in and out completing 2 of 4 passes for 19 yards.  Matt Moore completed 8 of 13 passes for 89 yards but he threw a pick six to safety Ryan Mundy of the Steelers.  Josh McCown was effective completing 11 of 15 passes for 82 yards.  Hunter Cantwell finished up this game by completing 5 of 8 passes for 53 yards.  Mike Goodson led the Panthers in rushing in this game with 79 on 15 carries (5.3 ypc).  WR Kenny Moore was solid in the air with 6 catches for 59 yards (9.8 avg).  The Panthers finished up with 320 total yards in this game (123 rushing, 197 passing).
