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.
