If this doesn’t get you ready for Carolina Panthers football, nothing will.

The Carolina Panthers 2019 regular season is just days away as the team prepares to host the defending NFC champions, Los Angeles Rams. In what is expected to be a close matchup, the young offensive minded Sean McVay faces a defensive coach in the Panthers own Ron Rivera.

Changing from their familiar 4-3 scheme during the offseason, Rivera has assumed full time play calling responsibilities this season. He and general manager Marty Hurney worked extensively on the roster to develop a locker room fitted to play a new 3-4, in an effort to get pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

Following the hopeful start last season when Carolina won six of their first eight games, the ensuing second half cast a shadow of doubt on this team. Largely based on unknown factors – can quarterback Cam Newton return to full strength, will the offensive line protect him, how will the new defense perform – the projections have been lukewarm to disastrous.

On the flip side, should the Panthers benefit from a healthy Newton who has time to operate in the pocket, the results could be historic. While another 15-1 regular season may not be in the cards, no one will remember four, five, six or even seven losses if new owner David Tepper and his team hoist the Lombardi Trophy in February.

Choosing a perfect theme, “change the tune” – the Panthers recently released a hype video for 2019 that lives up to the billing. Beginning with running back Christian McCaffrey displaying his off the field talent of piano, playing “Sonata Al Chiaro Di Luna” by Beethoven, the short video revisits 2018 before switching to previews of the coming season and ending with thoughts of being Super Bowl contenders.
