My BIGGEST Takeaways #Panthers vs. Broncos: - DISCIPLINE IS STILL A DISASTER! 13 penalties for 119 yards is UNACCEPTABLE! Dave Canales deserves serious scrutiny. At some point, this team has to be better prepared and coached! - BRAD IDZIK’S PLAY-CALLING: Three straight passes with roughly 8:36 remaining? I understand we’re trailing, but there’s PLENTY of football left! Why completely abandon the run? Some of these decisions make ZERO sense! - DEFENSE: I thought Todd Wash did a solid job stopping the run and generating pressure. But our secondary got COOKED by penalties, missed tackles, and coverage breakdowns. The practice-squad corners are fighting, but we DESPERATELY need Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson back! - OFFENSIVE LINE: When are Dave Canales, Brad Idzik, and the offensive-line coaching staff going to start giving Walker and Freeling consistent help with tight-end chips? Bryce shouldn’t have to survive on his own! - TIME TO SHAKE UP THE O-LINE! With Brady Christensen working his way back, I’d seriously consider moving Monroe Freeling to his natural LT position and trying Stone Forsythe at RT. Or give Christensen a shot at LT! Hell, something has to change because this current combination isn’t cutting it! - BRYCE YOUNG WAS A DOG TODAY! His pocket movement was NEXT LEVEL! Stepping up, navigating pressure, keeping his eyes downfield, using his legs, and delivering big throws! Was he perfect? No. But he played his HEART OUT, and I don’t know how much more you could reasonably ask from him under those circumstances! MY FINAL THOUGHTS: I’m tired of the same undisciplined football, questionable coaching decisions, and offensive-line issues! And I’ll tell you who I REALLY miss right now: Ickey Ekwonu. Jaycee Horn. Mike Jackson. Their absences are being felt in a BIG way! Carolina has talent, but talent means NOTHING if the coaching, execution, and discipline aren’t there! KEEP POUNDING!
