• 0:54
  [SPEAKER_03]: Welcome to the C3 Panthers podcast game.
• 0:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, what's up guys?
• 0:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: Appreciate you all for having me once again, you know, Joey coming home with you guys our last season.
• 1:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: And just let the season is finally back.
• 1:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, just going through the off season, the draft getting to this point, I know everybody's excited to see, you know, the real bullets fly this weekend, made to the preseason.
• 1:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: And now, get ready to set the tone for the entire year this weekend.
• 1:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: I tell you one thing is watch the season opener last night.
• 1:21
  [SPEAKER_03]: Rematch of the Super Bowl Seahawks hosted Patriots and within first five play, Sam Darnold is out for the game.
• 1:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: AJ Brown is out with who knows what type of injury.
• 1:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: The Carolina Panthers have faced their share of entries going into this camp.
• 1:41
  [SPEAKER_03]: I hate to see.
• 1:42
  [SPEAKER_03]: I hope there's no more like that happened last night for the Carolina Panthers.
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: But with Patrick Jones out going into Sunday, and the offensive of the linebacker outside linebacker group being thin, they've lost scort in our like earlier.
• 1:57
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's old old news.
• 2:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: to take on that starting level workload against a mobile quarterback like cable Williams.
• 2:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: where he had to improve, I think it's more, you know, to be in a run stopper, because they don't feel upset with himself.
• 2:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Earlier in training camp, he's probably the best pure past pressure on this team, but it's certainly high praise from a guy that the band does just pay $120 million to be that top guy, but the fact that he sees that in principle, the potential there, it's this can be in every down guy.
• 2:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: We saw him, you know, in more situational spots last year, you know, coming in on some of those third and long, some of those obvious past downs.
• 2:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: how can you become in every down outside linebacker.
• 2:52
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's what they want to see because you know, you felt that way about Nick Scorton, you know, the tragedy made, definitely an unfortunate injury on the first day of training camp.
• 3:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: And then you have Pat Jones who had back surgery last year, missed most of the season came back.
• 3:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: And he was kind of going to be that every down guy, you know, you think about him, be more of that red stopper alongside Caleb Phillips.
• 3:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think Prince Lee's definitely stepped up, he's ready for the challenge, but you're definitely going to see a lot of those guys behind them, you know, the Trevor's Gibson's of the world, you know, the Thomas Incombs, you know, even Jeremiah Moon, they just brought him back on a practice quiet, likely going to see him elevated off the practice quiet for this weekend's game, but I think Prince Lee's ready for the challenge and he's made a lot of strides, you know, going into the season for sure.
• 3:29
  [SPEAKER_03]: could it have been slump I mean I hate to say of injury to a player being a blessing because I certainly don't think Nick Scorton being injured is a blessing and I don't want that on him by any means but you know if Nick Scorton had been healthy through most of the camp and then took the injury later
• 3:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: And now you're dealing with this.
• 3:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: Do you think maybe, uh, princely in mammal and benefited from the Panthers knowing that was going to be far more of the plan and where they able to get him more additional kind of practice time and reps, um, and coach them up for this moment, hopefully.
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: In a sense, you could say that is all about that next man up mentality, you know, those are two guys that we know have a great relationship, you know, coming into the drafts together and, you know, you know, principally, hate to see him go down, but it's also at the same time, you know, like you mentioned him, you know, being able to get those additional reps, you know, throughout the preseason, you know, throughout, um, obviously training camp and everything as well.
• 4:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I think anytime that he can get more reps, the better because you wanted to see a lot of growth from him and I think to see in the word that he put in this offseason leading up to now,
• 4:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: bill for the moment and ready to take on the challenge because it'll be quite the challenge on the other side with Caleb Williams and that have been Johnson Offins and Chicago.
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, my question is pertaining to the inside line-backer group and I got an opportunity to interview Alex Zylo and I asked him the same question and I'd be interested to see what you're answered to this is with that inside line-backer group.
• 4:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're bringing Bobby O'Carick and he's going to be a day one starter next to Devin Lloyd.
• 5:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: So my question to you is, when is it
• 5:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Dan Morgan and Dave can now us when did they know
• 5:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: that they were not comfortable with trev and wallets being the starting inside linebacker opposite dev and lord in this defense and when did they make the decision to say hey we need to bring someone in because we're just not comfortable with our depth and even our starting position inside linebacker with trev and wallets could you take this behind
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
• 5:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's something that they saw right off the bat.
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, you look at the Hall of Fame game with how many reps that travel play.
• 5:50
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, normally you don't see guys that are penciled in to be starters.
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, obviously, you know, you didn't see any other starters on the field at all in that game.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: And normally, guys that are, you know, in battle, so to speak, or coming off season where they were starter.
• 6:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, we'll see those guys playing in the Hall of Fame game, especially with how many reps that he played.
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I think they saw all the tape from the Hall of Fame game that he evaluated the position.
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: They felt like, you know, him and Conchairless were sort of neck and neck, and that's when they really made it public that there was a competition after the Hall of Fame game and he saw them throughout the rest of the pre-season, throughout the joint practices.
• 6:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: It never really seemed like there was any true separation because
• 6:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: Both players have their flaws.
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: Both players do have their strengths.
• 6:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: So if you look at a guy like Trevor Wallace, I think, you know, he's more like a downhill.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: Lits are really wasn't the best in some coverage, you know, or, you know, ask coverage for that matter last year.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: And a guy like, you know, clock chair, let's you also struggle a little bit in coverage, but he's really standing against the run as well.
• 6:44
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I think both guys have their strengths.
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: They have their flaws, but neither guy really created any separation.
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: So as we went through the preseason, went through the joint practices.
• 6:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: Bobby Ocaricade was a name that had kind of been floated around before we even got the training camp because a lot of people felt that depth was needed in that position.
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: You still was available once the roster cut day came around and they felt like this was a guy coming off a three-year run with the giants where he was averaging 120 tackles plus.
• 7:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's like this is a guy that we can bring in to immediately plug into this defense.
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think you look at where this line back in court was last year to now.
• 7:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's leaps and bounds ahead and I think that's definitely what Dan Morgan always envisioned out of that.
• 7:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, absolutely.
• 7:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: This Sunday, it looks like we're going to get to see Jonathan Brooks start.
• 7:29
  [SPEAKER_03]: We're not to start the game necessarily, but make a debut from the beginning of a season.
• 7:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: Jonathan Brooks, second round draft pick two years ago comes in.
• 7:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: Was it not able basically played a few snaps or maybe a game and not even a full game.
• 7:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: partial in this rookie season.
• 7:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, just but ultimately it felt like 12 snaps throughout those games and then suffered a major injury missed all of last year as well was able to experience his first full trip or training camp period how about that not even a full training camp first
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_03]: training camp.
• 8:08
  [SPEAKER_03]: I'm really excited about him as a player personally.
• 8:11
  [SPEAKER_03]: The Panthers thought that I mean, look is that he has this kind of store potential, but there has been this injury.
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_03]: Trout.
• 8:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I don't think it's a bug.
• 8:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's just as major knee injuries, but all the sudden mysteriously after participating in what seemed to be the entirety of the full training camp, participating in the preseason.
• 8:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: There was I played a lot and maybe the second game.
• 8:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: and all of a sudden you're experiencing soreness after that they rested him for there but they said it was nothing I mean they didn't give divulged much miss some practice time this past week came out and what I know about it is that it was reported to be some sort of growing injury but he insists that he's ready to go on Sunday, Carolina Panthers look like they're
• 8:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: planning on playing what should you know is he good to go what do you think about this injury should we be worried and how much are they going to ease him in or are they going to like what do you see the split looking like between him and she recovered.
• 9:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's one of those things where, you know, I believe to see him run around a practice last couple of days since he came back, he's like, you know, fine, in my opinion, I think, you know, just resting him was kind of important due to, you know, the time that true the Hubbard missed when, you know, Jonathan Brooks, who's getting the bulk of those reps and true boobies done with his injury, late in the preseason.
• 9:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: And that's, you know, just a lot to ask if a guy that's coming off, you know, two ACL injuries and hasn't played and, you know, almost, you know, two years at this point.
• 9:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: And so I think,
• 9:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, it was kind of in his best interest for, you know, the team to rest him a little bit, but he looks fine now for my opinion to see him in the past couple of days, but as far as the split, I think it's probably in the Panthers' best, and we saw what they tried to do last year.
• 9:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: with Chuba and Rico once Chuba, you know, was healthy again.
• 9:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: Didn't necessarily work, and then they went back to Rico in the lion chair, the reps, and he had some pretty solid games.
• 10:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: You look at the game and green bay, you know, after, you know, he got the start when Chuba was back healthy, and then Chuba kind of came one strong towards the end of the year.
• 10:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think it'll be...
• 10:11
  [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe not as even, but you look at a guy like Jonathan Brooks, you can use him in the screen game You can get him out, you know, and some out in the past as well We're chewed as more of a down south runner and a kind of north and south and a bit of a bruiser So it's being you know, you do have a guy like AJ Dylan in the back hoop as well But I think it'll be relatively even split and I think it's just you know in offense That can really open up Those guys want to feel maybe not necessarily the same
• 10:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: a lot of two back sets, but I think the definitely compliment each other well.
• 10:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I think it's going to be a pretty healthy marriage between the two.
• 10:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm excited to see, you know, what is it can get out of them?
• 10:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, with him, he's running the show calling plays now.
• 10:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, speaking of bread isn't calling plays.
• 10:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: They also added another big time weapon in free agency, relatively recently.
• 10:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that's Darren Waller.
• 10:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: And this comes after they've decided to keep five tight ends on the active 53-man roster.
• 11:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, hey, I've maintained for a while that went once their third round pick, Chris Brassal went down.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: They really kind of changed things for Carolina.
• 11:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: They were expecting another big body, wide receiver for Brass with a big target area for him to be able to get the ball to.
• 11:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: How much is Darren Waller being added to this team?
• 11:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Just another answer for them.
• 11:29
  [SPEAKER_03]: Looks like we got kicked.
• 11:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just no sorry.
• 11:34
  [SPEAKER_03]: He'll be back.
• 11:35
  [SPEAKER_03]: Look.
• 11:35
  [SPEAKER_03]: He's right back.
• 11:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: He's all right.
• 11:37
  [SPEAKER_03]: There we go.
• 11:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: We're back in.
• 11:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
• 11:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: This happens.
• 11:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: He once a week.
• 11:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's okay.
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Basically my question is, where does Darren Waller fit on this team as a past catcher and how big of a role do you intend to enter the Panthers intend for him to play this year for the Carolina Panthers in the passing attack?
• 12:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think eventually, you'll see him play a relatively big role.
• 12:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he comes in, you know, he's ever been a six, six, still moving around very well.
• 12:07
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we saw him last year, even with a small sample size, especially the game that he had against Panthers, did a lot of damage during the first half.
• 12:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: They probably went back and saw that tape, you know, as a guy that's,
• 12:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, then in the league for a while and it's like, hey, he's still, you know, has a little bit of juice that he had, you know, when he was playing for the Raiders, making those probals.
• 12:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think this is a guy that's going to come in and just bring a different element to this offense.
• 12:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: You guys talked about Brassler going down that really opened up things for a lot of folks when he thinks about, you know, just how the roster was crafted.
• 12:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: who they kept, who they didn't keep, you know, guys that have been able to get a lot of reps and shine in their roles.
• 12:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: But I think, you know, you look at a Gallagher and Waller, took them a little bit to get up to speed.
• 12:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's why they held them out and filled a lot of team reps, even told us, you know, when you first got into building, like a playbook, still looked like Mandarin Chinese to them.
• 12:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like at this point, it's probably a little bit more English now than they've been here for close to a month.
• 12:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I think this is a guy that they brought in, you know, they see a lot of potential there, a guy that, you know,
• 13:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: is to, you know, it can be a really silent weapon.
• 13:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: If you think about just being able to attach him away from the line of Scrammage line, I'm up in the slot, create a lot of those mismatches with, you know, line backers with some of those nipple artifacts, and maybe aren't as big as outside guys.
• 13:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think there's really some big potential for him to unlock a new level of this offense.
• 13:19
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think a lot of people are excited to see what he can bring, you know, to see even as a guy that's a little bit up there in football year, so much to be.
• 13:26
  [SPEAKER_03]: David Tepper was back in the news this week, and we won't get too much into the weeds in that.
• 13:32
  [SPEAKER_03]: I think, you know, I was like, oh God, David Tepper's back.
• 13:36
  [SPEAKER_03]: And I started, I watched a few of the clips and I was like, man, this really isn't as bad as I thought some of the internet was making it to be.
• 13:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: But the reason I bring it up is because David Tepper, I felt made some
• 13:52
  [SPEAKER_03]: I want to say revealing, because look, as we know that there's this argument about price young, among Panther fans that is insane, and not insane as like, I mean, it's a legitimate conversation to be had on some of these things.
• 14:04
  [SPEAKER_03]: But a couple of things that David Tipper said, ultimately, was it's like, look, he wants back to, you know, it's like this kind of inconsistency is retired of it, well, hold my beer.
• 14:16
  [SPEAKER_03]: David Tepper, we've been dealing with back to not back to back losing or winning seasons for the whole entirety of the organization.
• 14:25
  [SPEAKER_03]: We would like back to back wins from week to week, and that's what I'm, I'm removed first.
• 14:31
  [SPEAKER_03]: Then we'll go back to back win in seasons, but look, he's calling for this, is he's calling for a step forward from, you know, a kind of an eight and nine team to being a nine and seven, then a 10 and or 10 and seven, nine,
• 14:45
  [SPEAKER_03]: and eight type team.
• 14:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: And doing that, not just one flash in the pan moment, he also talked about two is like the idea of,
• 14:54
  [SPEAKER_03]: you know, is like not coming back all the time and like having to get started quicker ultimately.
• 15:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: And a lot of this surrounded questions that were asked about Bryce Young's contract, which I think is look as any of that is premature.
• 15:11
  [SPEAKER_03]: Despite David Teper's kind of animosity and antagonism in the questioning, I think there's some real reveal there is that look is the
• 15:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: Slow starts continued fighting to get scrape in the fourth quarter to find these late winds that are dramatic.
• 15:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: I guess in some cases exhausting in other cases and finding a way to take the next step.
• 15:39
  [SPEAKER_03]: It's Carolina ready to start.
• 15:43
  [SPEAKER_03]: taking that step forward offensively or how about this is not waiting till we wait for it to happen.
• 15:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: What do you know, do you see something?
• 15:52
  [SPEAKER_03]: Is there any changes or signs or are we still kind of just bait with baited breath?
• 15:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think you're going to see a team that gets off to a much better start and I will say this schedule is somewhat favorable going into the buy now I know week one you can take you know and week one is there's a lot of unknowns which kind of bears when I'll create anything can be You obviously look at the Sunday night game, but in between that you go to Atlanta you go to Cleveland
• 16:16
  [SPEAKER_02]: Those are two teams that kind of have a lot of issues going on when you think about, you know, even the news that just came out from Atlanta with Cooper Rush taking their QB1 rep today.
• 16:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I think the main thing is this, you can't spot teams 10 points to your 17 points here, like we saw last year.
• 16:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: You look at the Jacksonville game in the open.
• 16:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: You look at the cardinals game.
• 16:36
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you spot them 10 points right off the bat.
• 16:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: and then you make that dramatic comeback and almost pull it off.
• 16:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: Imagine if you don't have that scoop and score in that interception early in that game.
• 16:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: You look at the patron team.
• 16:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: The team is one in three in the month of September each of the last two years under Dave Canal.
• 16:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: That has to change.
• 16:51
  [SPEAKER_02]: You've got to be able to get off to a better start going into the buy because after the buy we all know the schedule.
• 16:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: You go to Philly right after that, and then from there, I mean, it's, it's a gauntlet.
• 17:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you're playing a first-place schedule that surprised you pay when you go out and when you're division, you know, you're not coming off a 2115, a 5 and 12 season, you know, what have you.
• 17:08
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I think, you know, you listen to David's after the other day, like,
• 17:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, you know, there were some, you know, questions that maybe kind of got him up in order.
• 17:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm so to speak with.
• 17:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: There were others like you talk about, you know, Bryce Young, and it's like, we still need to see consistency.
• 17:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: He still believes them as well.
• 17:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, that's a guy that, you know, he went to bat for, you know, during the draft process.
• 17:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: He still had a lot of belief in them, but I think the contract situation, the contract talks, still a little bit premature.
• 17:33
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think we got to see him put it together for a full 17 season, full 17 game season.
• 17:38
  [SPEAKER_02]: Rookie year.
• 17:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: We all know what that was.
• 17:41
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Carolina has not won and up season open or since 2021.
• 17:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: Cody, last couple of questions, let's get them.
• 17:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: No, that was going to be what my question was, as a team that has not won their season opener since 2021, what are something that the Carolina Panthers specifically need to be able to do well to beat the Chicago Bears specifically?
• 18:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is a prolific offensive attack, you know, we're inexorably tied together because of that trade for Brazil and they got Caleb Williams off of what had been our pick.
• 18:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's always so much conversation between these two teams who won that trade, but just what specifically, do the Carolina Panthers need to do well in order to come away with the W this Sunday against the Chicago Bears in the home opener.
• 18:34
  [SPEAKER_02]: You gotta be able to take with the defense gives you this Chicago Bears defense.
• 18:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's dealing with a lot of injuries.
• 18:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: You gotta be able to take advantage of that.
• 18:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: Get your guys the ball in space, you know, get different guys involved to discreet those mismatches.
• 18:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: But you also gotta take care of the football.
• 18:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: I gotta talk about it.
• 18:47
  [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you can't have, you know, two turnovers, three turnovers in the first quarter, first half of these games and get, you know, behind the eighth ball, so to speak, you gotta be able to set the tone.
• 18:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: Much like they did, you know, early in the season last year, we saw the Atlantic game.
• 19:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: You gotta try and replicate that, so to speak.
• 19:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: So I think,
• 19:02
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's just taking care of the ball and getting after the quarterback.
• 19:04
  [SPEAKER_02]: This team is struggle getting after the past for the last several years.
