WATCH: Carolina Panthers release hype video for 2019

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.
