00:00The Carolina Panthers kick off week one of their preseason against the Washington Commanders on Saturday at 1 o'clock Eastern
00:07I'm Claudette Monteda-Pattison with SI right now and joining me is Skylar Callahan from All Panthers. Skylar, first off
00:14We are so excited because football is officially back
00:17But when I take a look at this game
00:18What really sticks out to me is the quarterbacks on both sides of the ball for the Commanders and the Panthers
00:24What are you gonna be watching during this game?
00:27Yeah, it's the first start for Carson Wentz with the Washington Commanders
00:30It's also the first game for Washington as a franchise being named the commander
00:34So a lot of whole new starts there in Washington. I'm interested to see how he looks in this offense
00:41Especially, you know, you have you know, a lot of different new pieces on that Washington offense
00:45So interested to see how he looks. Is there any rust? Does he look like he's ready to go?
00:51Not gonna see a whole lot of him 15-20 snaps. On the other side for Carolina
00:54It's the same thing Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold. They're in that quarterback battle
00:58But this is a battle that's gonna leak into week two. Both guys are only gonna get one series
01:03That's what Matt Rule said yesterday, and I don't know why that is
01:07You would think again with only three preseason games
01:10They would want to get that competition sped up so that way that number one guy
01:13Can get as many reps as possible heading into that first week against Cleveland
01:17So it's only gonna be one week or one series per guy
01:21So you don't think we're not gonna get a starter out of this game
01:26But it is gonna be very crucial that those two guys
01:30Don't get off to a bad start and dig themselves a hole heading into week two
01:33Which is probably gonna be the week where that that battle is gonna be decided
