What’s the one thing you want to see from the Carolina Panthers’ preseason finale on Saturday?

How about the four things you want to see?

Whichever it is, Mike Kaye and Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer have you covered in the latest episode of “Processing Blue” — a podcast that covers the Panthers in the team’s entirety.

Beyond predicting scenarios that’ll go down in Buffalo when the Panthers visit the Bills on Saturday — and maybe who will play once the team gets down there — the Kaye-Zietlow duo hit a bunch of other topics.

Among them: What’s going on in the cornerback room? Any shifting in the defensive backfield on the horizon? Who’s your MVP of training camp — and why is it a receiver whose last name begins with an “M”?
