Gametime: Panthers-Chargers

A cross-country trip to play a two-time defending champion.  That's a steep challenge to open the regular season, but the Panthers wouldn't have it any other way as they prepare to tackle the San Diego Chargers on Sunday (FOX, 4:15 p.m. EDT). "I'd rather play a team like this, because it lets you know where you are," safety Chris Harris said.

Players ran onto the field through the Panthers game day tunnel, exchanging high-fives with Panthers players and Sir Purr, in addition to being welcomed by TopCats and the spirit squad cheerleaders at the 2008 Challenger Flag Football League opening day ceremony.

Conventional wisdom would say that Julius Peppers has to put a frustrating 2007 season behind him in the weeks to come. But after a splendid preseason and the announcement that he will be one of the defensive captains, it seems he already has.

Newcomers arrived.  Holdovers moved around.  Yet Carolina's rejiggered first-team offensive line came together quickly in the preseason -- a gelling that was based not only on their performance, but friendliness.
