PJ Walker in at QB now after Matt Corral appeared to have a slight limp after that last drive.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) August 20, 2022
Not much going for Matt Corral in his first drive of the fourth quarter, but that 9-yard completion to Charleston Rambo was his longest of the night
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 20, 2022
Derek Wright PBU
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) August 20, 2022
Corral looks deep, is almost picked off.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 20, 2022
Center Sam Tecklenburg in again as an eligible receiver (mostly to block).
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 20, 2022
They should throw it to him like on the last day in Spartanburg.
Matt Corral back in for his fourth quarter work.

Panthers RB Spencer Brown questionable to return with an ankle injury.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 20, 2022
Tae Hayes with the 50-yard pick six against Bailey Zappe. A celebration penalty followed, in part because some of the Panthers' starters who aren't in uniform ran to congratulate Hayes.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 20, 2022
CAR 10, NE 10 | 1:35 3Q
Panthers penalized after the pick-six for players leaving the bench to celebrate.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 20, 2022
Panthers CB Tae Hayes with the pick-six of Zappe.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 20, 2022
That's Boca Raton Bowl payback for the ASU graduate.

Check that, a rib injury for Burris.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 20, 2022
DE Amare Barno and S Juston Burris have hamstring injuries, and won't return.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 20, 2022
Couple injury updates:
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) August 20, 2022
Juston Burris, rib - won’t return
Amare Barno, hamstring - won’t return
Panthers RB Spencer Brown being carted to the locker room.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 20, 2022
He has stood out in camp, as a runner and on special teams.
PJ Walker picked. Shaun Wade read the ball headed for Derek Wright.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) August 20, 2022
Walker intercepted.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 20, 2022
PJ Walker back in for his third quarter of work.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 20, 2022
LT Daley, LG Horton, C Mays, RG Brown, RT Pleasants to start the half.
Mays getting reps at center will be important, with Bradley Bozeman out a few weeks with an ankle.

Okay, Brandon Smith... The rookie with a real vicious sack on third down
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 20, 2022
Brandon Smith with the sack.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 20, 2022
The fourth-round linebacker has shown up on defense and special teams already this preseason.
Brandon Smith shot out of a cannon

Halftime: NE 10, CAR 3
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 20, 2022
Matt Corral takes a knee to end the first half. He's 6-of-10 for 28 yards passing.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 20, 2022
Some flashes, still a work in progress.
Bailey Zappe leads the Patriots' offense just 6 yards, but New England is still able to kick a field goal thanks to field position off the turnover.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 20, 2022
NE 10, CAR 3 | 1:49 2Q
Patriots get a field goal off the turnover, lead 10-3 in the second.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 20, 2022
Bailey Zappe, who hung 59 on Appalachian State in the Boca Raton Bowl, in at quarterback for the Patriots.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 20, 2022
(Too soon? Too soon.)
Successful challenge, and New England's offense is back on the field https://t.co/hLapD7tRnA
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 20, 2022
The Patriots are challenging an incompletion call.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 20, 2022
TE Stephen Sullivan appeared to have it under control, but we'll see.
(Also challenges in the preseason should be illegal.)
Bill Belichick is going to challenge that. Looked like Sullivan had possession.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) August 20, 2022
Austen Pleasants in at RT for Erving on this drive, with Corral taking over at his own 9.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 20, 2022
Cam Erving (elbow), questionable to return.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 20, 2022
He was playing RT tonight.
Matt Corral extends plays. That six-yard scramble was huge to set up for a 3rd & 1, which resulted in an easier first down for Chuba Hubbard on the next play.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 19, 2022
Matt Corral is 2-of-2 passing so far, and got a good chunk with a PI flag, and then scrambles to get out of trouble.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 19, 2022
He's also still helmeted, which is ahead of last week's pace.
No more Ekwonu and Christensen for Corral, as Dennis Daley is at LT and Cade Mays at LG for this series.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 19, 2022
It's the second quarter, which means it's Matt Corral time.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 19, 2022
OK, it's Matt Corral time, everybody.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 19, 2022
Mac Jones started the second quarter with back-to-back completions, including a big one for 45 yards to Nelson Agholor, to help set the Patriots up for a TD.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 19, 2022
NE 7, CAR 3 | 12:23 2Q
Patriots respond with a deep ball to Nelson Agholor, and then get into the end zone, with Ty Montgomery rushing it in against the Panthers second defense.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 19, 2022
A good drive for Mac Jones after a slow start.
Patriots 7-3.
Patriots’ first-team offense finally gets untracked. Mac Jones and Nelson Agholor connect for a 45-yarder with Keith Taylor in coverage.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) August 19, 2022
First quarter is over. The Patriots have one first down and start the second quarter with a 3rd & 4 at their own 37.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 19, 2022
Given the Panthers are resting a lot of starters, and New England is playing a lot of their starters... There's something to be said about depth
Amare Barno pressure nearly forced another turnover
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) August 19, 2022
Took the Patriots nearly a quarter to get a first down. I'm sure fans will react with the appropriate kind of perspective.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 19, 2022
Not a lot of regulars playing tonight, but those are close to the "starting" special teams units.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 19, 2022
Those have been very good so far.
Zane Gonzalez with a 27-yard FG to put the Panthers up on the Patriots. Panthers with some short runs after the big Ricci completion/penalty, but not quite able to finish in the red zone.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 19, 2022
CAR 3, NE 0 | 2:21 1Q
And, Walker leads a field goal drive, Zane Gonzalez good from 27 yards out and the Panthers lead 3-0.

Yes, that's Gio Ricci with the biggest offensive play so far, 21 yard catch thrown by PJ Walker.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 19, 2022
A roughing the passer penalty extended the play by 15 more yards
And, Walker leads a field goal drive, Zane Gonzalez good from 27 yards out and the Panthers lead 3-0.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 19, 2022
Walker with a 21-yard pass to Gio Ricci, and then an unnecessary roughness penalty on the Patriots (Barmore gave PJ a shot), and they're in the red zone.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 19, 2022
The Panthers are 2-for-2 on forcing the Patriots' (mostly first-team) offense to three-and-out
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 19, 2022
Another three-and-out for the Panthers second defense, against what is mostly the first offense for New England.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 19, 2022
Deatrich Wise and Josh Uche got past him on back-to-back plays for sacks on the second series, though. there will be ups and downs like this https://t.co/jaioHiny8c
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) August 19, 2022
Couple of sacks on that first possession, some plays Ekwonu would like to have back.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 19, 2022
Julian Stanford sacked Mac Jones on third down.
— Augusta Stone (@augustalstone) August 19, 2022
The Panthers' defensive 2s looked solid on that first drive, force a 3-and-out

Jaycee Horn wasn't listed among the early scratches, but he's not going to play tonight.
— Darin Gantt (@daringantt) August 19, 2022
He took the reps with the starters and looked good, so they're going to let the younger guys go.
Keith Taylor and Stantley Thomas-Oliver are starting at corner.
