The options at quarterback wasn't clear early in 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.200 the off season who would get the nod even if 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:50.000 Pennox was healthy, Dotson, Lamide, Branch, all incomers at wide receiver, 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.680 Mooney and Sills that departed b Rob takes Algier's place 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:57.679 as Bijon's backup. New head coach and questions at quarterback, 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.720 plus a pretty tough schedule could make twenty twenty six 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.520 a challenge for the Dirty Birds. They have the thirteenth 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.840 hardest schedule. If you look at their opponents twenty twenty 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:10.320 six expected wind totals. They're lying in the sand sits 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.720 at seven and a half. Let's put on some Luda 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:16.600 glasses to figure out how high these birds could rise up. 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:20.079 This assumes they get top notch QB play from somebody 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:24.320 start off with wins over Pittsburgh, Carolina, a Micah list, 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:28.000 Green Bay, and the Saints take the Bears, sink the 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:33.000 Bucks ship, then rip off five straight to end Cleveland, Washington, 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:37.520 sweep Tampa Bay, New Orleans and Carolina for a dozen wins, 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:41.400 ceiling that would snap their eight year streak of losing records. 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.920 They always seem to come up short no matter what 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.760 they do in the off season. Their history of having 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:50.000 something sink them, plus that schedule makes it hard to 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.600 find eight wins for the Birds. In the game preview, 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:54.280 guy bag, can you picture? 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.680 Can you imagine where we could go if we play 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.800 together like that every game? I'm product what we're doing though, 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:02.199 if the process and we keep pushing it and we 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:02.880 keep growing. 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:06.079 Carolina Panthers trying to take the next step in twenty 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.160 twenty six when Needle bumped up to eight last year, 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:15.280 good enough to win the NFC South. Come on now 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.640 they hope to go Eugene Struthers and take it to 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:19.080 a whole nother level. 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:23.840 Our young guys like this because say, that's. 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.520 Not how he says it, but you get it. It's 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:26.960 all about Bryce. 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:30.640 Silent Chalker palls it in for a touchdown? 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.120 Is young the franchise quarterback they thought he was when 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:35.600 they took him with the number one pick? 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.960 Pro Recro makes the catch for the touchdown. 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.760 He is at least trending in the right direction. 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.840 Plus to the outside. He's got the quarter, he's got 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.319 the five, the two for the touchdown. 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.600 From eleven tds as a rookie to fifteen to twenty 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:52.599 three last year, we know what it looks like. 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:53.160 We start that. 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:54.000 Here you go. 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.840 His passer rating has risen each season. 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.079 Two, No boy quarter, this is where we finished. This 0:13:59.160 --> 0:13:59.760 is where we finished. 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.480 Let's hitting at eighty seven and twenty twenty five. 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.440 Y's talk out field talk by lead get it. 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:09.040 Side by forty passing yards per game up to one 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:10.560 eighty eight on the left side. 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:15.160 Pour league yet begs the catch touchdown Carolina. 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:17.080 But kay dot will tell you it's not enough. 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:23.080 By suppose caught by Evotts chartle points hold to the episode. 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:23.560 For a touchdown. 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.800 Had a few solid games, but it's not enough. Twenty 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:28.200 seventh in yards per game. 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:32.240 Presunfield DeVos tap then intercepted. 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:33.200 Twenty fifth on third down. 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.280 Don't get trouble and he's sacked. The ball comes out 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:36.520 of the. 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.400 Ten yard twenty fourth in the red zone. 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.320 And that's picked off a lotta Taylor. 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:47.080 Only eighteen points per game. Somebody's got to get on there. 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.880 You know he's hit Hey sacked. That's Colliss Cavo. 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.520 Don't turn the TV off, though, wouldn't want to miss 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:55.600 what TEDAROA McMillan has in store. 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:57.240 Rose to the episode. 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:01.600 McMillin left corner, begs the got t maac over one 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:05.520 thousand yards and sevent tds to take home the oh roy, what. 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:11.200 About a cell? The California connection, Rice Young, the teneral 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:11.920 of a Kimillin. 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.240 You hear that AI voiceover guy read o R O 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.640 Y and didn't realize it's offensive Rookie of the Year. 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.520 They can't afford a real person or a better program. 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.000 That's the cut of the twenty. He's got the top. 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.080 Carolina can't afford to half McMillan be the only real 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.080 threat again. Jalen Kocher put up some big games, only 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:34.360 played eleven though. 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.840 It's Coberts cups. 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:43.440 Touch down Carolina, so only three hundred and ninety four yards, 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.960 but the potential for him to morph into a good 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:46.960 too is there. 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:51.080 Holker, thanks the touch of tyrocks the sideline into the 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:53.080 end zone for a fuck down. 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.600 XL was supposed to be that guy. Xavier leget three scores, 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.000 three hundred and sixty plus yards in his second seat. 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.960 He went for close to five hundred yards as a rookie, 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:04.800 so regressed production wise. 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.200 Rolling right now, Young rolls back to his left, eyes 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:13.080 up the crows axel diving Betsy yet touchdown. 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.760 Carolina used a third round pick on wide receiver Chris Brazil. 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:18.520 He's an over the top receiver. 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.200 What you would expect from Tennessee with that type of offense? 0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:22.720 What do you call it? 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:23.120 Offense? 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:23.320 Again? 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:25.200 Joel deep choice off there you go? 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.680 Would be nice if they had a better tight end game. 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:31.440 Jatavian Sanders also kind of disappointed. One hundred and ninety 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:35.400 yards over thirteen games. Tommy Tremble two touchdowns, close to 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:37.080 two hundred and fifty yards. 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:39.720 Double rights across, but Bill he's got the third. 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.720 Cuba Hubbard gets to be the man again. Sort of 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.800 fell out a favor early, came back around, finished with 0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.920 over five hundred rush yards. Cuba good for nine hundred 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:53.120 plus yards the previous two years when he wasn't splitting carries. 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.000 Up the battle Subar Hobb, but. 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.080 He takes over as RB one because they let Rico 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:02.640 Suavee down Walk Dowdell went for one thousand yards on 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.640 the ground, half dozen paint jobs for six around. 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.639 Oh, he's got the third trouble runab up gets a 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:09.560 plus fifth. 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.440 Real Panther's O line. We'll have a different flavor to 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.159 it this year. They used their first round pick on 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:19.480 tackle Monroe Freeling. They also signed tackle Rashid Walker. He 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.480 gave up seven sacks as a packer last year. They're 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:26.080 having to work around left tackle Iakean Mguanu's injury, which 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.960 he suffered in their playoff loss. Unclear when they'll get 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.439 him back. He gave up a team high eight sacks 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:35.399 during the regular season. Also signed Luke Fortner to play center. 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.080 He gave up five sacks. Made ten starts for the 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:41.360 Saints last season, taking the place of Cad Mays, who 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:44.800 only gave up two made twelve starts. Guard Robert Hunt 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:48.040 coming back from a two game season, Tackle Taylor mowten 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:51.200 guard Damian Lewis both still in the mix. Their line 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.840 overall allowed a high pressure rate last year, but only 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:57.919 thirty five sacks taken which was top twelve good. They 0:17:57.960 --> 0:17:59.080 could live with that again. 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.400 In the pocket, try at played a sack. 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:08.879 He does most back of the exta be touch down Carolina, 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:09.760 he go by. 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:11.439 That's you guys on bread. We got a few more 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:11.680 in it. 0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:16.240 Panthers offense has lots of room for improvement. Their defense 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:17.160 kind of does too. 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:20.000 Throw my right the ND, this's go, it's gonna beyond us. 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:21.199 It's gonna beyond us. 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:23.639 But they made major strides. 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.680 Fields nowhere to go and he gets tackled. 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:29.000 They were the worst defense in football in twenty twenty four. 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.119 Intercepted but Jackson. 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.200 No team gave up more yards per game or points 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:38.680 per game than last year. Sixteenth in yards per game. 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:41.520 Let's sacked by a Sean Robinson. 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:42.560 Fifteenth in points per game. 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.320 Loud intercepted again, picked off. 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:48.520 Panthers secondary gets a ton of credit for the turnaround. 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:53.400 Picked off the thirty picked up good Carolada. 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:57.120 Twenty twenty four, Carolina gave up the highest rate then 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:01.120 last year, held quarterbacks to a sub ninety rating. Fifteen 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:02.960 interceptions top eight good. 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:05.520 Horny coverage. They read it all the way. 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:08.800 They loved their musical cornerback tandem. 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:12.040 As intercepted what Carolina. 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:15.120 Billy Jean might not be anybody's lover, but Mike Jackson 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:18.119 held his targets to a sub seventy eight led the 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:21.719 league in passes defense with nineteen picked off four balls. 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:28.280 Except and then there's JC Horn may have ninety nine problems, 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:32.159 but covering pass catchers ain't one career high five picks 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:33.280 in his fifth year. 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:40.119 An episode one handed takeaway, two interceptions for. 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:44.480 JC corner Chaw Smith Wade the raid allowed, jumped thirty 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:48.239 points from his rookie season to his sophomore campaign, did 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:51.359 see more reps and made fifty six tackles, and his 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:58.280 one iron t was of the house called variety. Safety 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.240 Nick Scott's play versus the pass last year also not 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:03.400 as good as twenty twenty four. Gave up a rating 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.400 over one point fifteen.
