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.
