Speaker 1 (00:03):
Now to chim Soaky with the Panthers postgame show exclusively
on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Panthers with a prime time Monday night game, but unable
to get the victory at San Francisco. They fall by
a score of twenty to nine in a game that
honestly was there. The Panthers just couldn't muster up much offense.
They were really hit hard with injuries during the course
of the game. When you think about it, Eugene with
the number of guys they were down, going in their
(00:34):
two starting linebackers in game, they lose from the defense,
the two guys that were filling in shehery list and
then Barnes. I think it was I looked at for
a concussion.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
J C.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Horn, of course, you're outstanding cornerback, and Corey Thornton. On
top of the injuries, you had to hold San fran
to twenty points. Was actually a pretty pretty remarkable job
by the defense overall.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yeah, you know that. I thought the defense did an
excellent job. There was no doubt about that. When you
come up with that mini Toner turn over to put
your team back in the mix when the offense seems
to be someone up and trying to get going and
not finding their footing, but to continue to get the
offense the ball back. That's incredible, and that's in hostile territory.
(01:18):
And so I thought in that first half, you had
all the chances in the world to go ahead and
to make a statement. And really the first interception I
thought with Bryce, I thought that was going to be
one of the deciding plays that says, you know, that
turned the tide because you had a chance to go
ahead and run it in for a touchdown. I mean,
(01:40):
he's throwing the ball back and he's running to his right.
As he's running, I'm like, oh, if he just continues
to run, he's going to score a touchdown because there's
nobody there at all. But I know what he did
let it to take that pass in the back. I'm
not sure who that was, the Coco Evans, but it
didn't happen.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
It was an interception because.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
He threw the ball behind a little bit and so
and that brings people back into play. That play I
thought was one of the most decisive plays. There was
another player I thought was decisive. That happened in as
well as America has played, America has played. He had
a chance to push McCaffrey out of bounds on a
(02:20):
third down situation right before they scored, and when he didn't,
I said, that play is going to come to haunt
you because they were just starting to move the ball,
and that play, if he gets them out of bounds,
it's a fourth down and four three yards and they
have to pump the ball and they lose the opportunity.
Instead they retain possession, move a downfield, eat up the clock,
(02:43):
eat up the possession of the clock, and score a touchdown.
And so I thought that was another miss opportunity. But
I can't fok the defense and how they played under injuries,
under duress with a Christian McCaffrey, I thought they played
pretty well.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Alderman Jack McCaffrey had eighty nine yards but on twenty
four carries, so three point seven to carry, which by
the way is average heading in seven catches fifty three yards.
So everything was kept in front. No big plays as
far as what he got there. And you're right, when
you have first and goal at the one yard line
off the first JC Horn interception and you come away
with nothing nothing, You come away with nothing and you
(03:18):
have three interceptions in the first quarter and a half
of the game, and you have three points is all
you have to show for all of that. I mean
that's when the game was kind of lost because the Panthers, again,
they just struggled against the Niners defense.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
That's kind of like the middle of the pack, honestly.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I mean, they're missing Nick Bosa, and they're missing Fred
Warner and missing big pieces. They've been injured this year.
So it was interesting after such a big day in
Atlanta that the Panthers are only able to put together
two hundred and thirty yards of offense in this game.
And outside of that Temac touchdown in the fourth quarter,
I mean, it was almost like like nothing was happening.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Nothing was happening and Zook, you're right. I wanted to
see that run be manifested. I wanted to see more
of Vicodonda. I wanted to even see when I saw
how Chuba was actually running catching the ball, but the
ball went latterly on more on screens, checked out to
the back, and I thought that man to abandon the
(04:10):
running game maybe so soon.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
You didn't have to.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I didn't think you had to abandon that at all,
and not to push the ball down the field, since
you didn't running ball as well, not to push the
ball down the field. I thought there should have been
some shots of just miss Sen send Jalen Coca, Sen
send Jimmy Jimmy Jr. Send him deep down the field
(04:35):
because you were forced the defense to go ahead and
to play it honest. There was an interception by their
by their their free safety. He had two interceptions. There
was an interception where he didn't even respect anybody running deep.
He just jumped the end route which was an eighteen
yard end route coming right to him, and he scored.
(04:56):
I mean not scored. He got an easy interception.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Because Brown Brown hit both interceptions.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Yeah, because there was no one who can pressed down
the field to make him respect that's going to throw
the ball deep. And when you don't have that threat,
you make it so much easier for the strong safety
and the free free safety to go ahead and to
really take gambles on plays that you know that they
typically wouldn't. He wouldn't be there on that play if
(05:22):
he knows he had a post behind him. You wouldn't
at all.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Didn't take big shots sided a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And to your point about the running game, Rico Daddle
averaged six point three yards per carry, but he only
carried it six times. Cuba carried five point three yards.
These are great averages. Had three rushing attempts, so Bryce
ran the other four. You know, the running backs only
carried the ball nine times. See three the ball twenty
nine times.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Not enough.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
And here it is I think what we do well
is we run the ball well. And I thought against
this team, this opportunities are running the ball, don't abandon
that run keep, you know, really keep that as your
bread and butter, and it's going to open up the
passing game.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
And here it is.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Typically you don't see drops, but to see McMillan drop
the ball on a on a first down play that
you can move the chains, that's kind of you know,
he makes up for it, but it's disappointing because it
ends a drive. And here it is Caroline Panthers, you
have to play clean. You're on Monday night. You got
(06:25):
a great opportunity to go ahead in San Francisco and
win a game. And we saw that really that game
is actually winnable. That's a winnable game for the Carolina
Panthers if they play well and offensively. I just didn't
see it today. I just I didn't see it. And
here it is Bryce. We haven't talked about Bryce yet.
(06:46):
Those two picks costly, absolutely costly, and one that you
should have run the ball in.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
I thought for a touchdout.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
But the other one, and whether McMillan was getting held
or not, you got to put it on him.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And safety was waiting on it when it came, so
Still was sitting there.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
He was sitting there because he did not respect that
the ball was going to be thrown behind him at all.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Yeah, it's rough.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
And for Bryce eighteen out of twenty nine, one hundred
and sixty nine yards, so back to a sub two
hundred yard game, one touchdown, two interceptions. But again you
look at again, Bryce ran it four times. None of
those were designed run so in actuality you had twenty
nine pass attempts against nine running calls, which means the
other four were going to be pass attempts. So, I mean,
(07:31):
it's just a disparity as far as the balance. Do
you think we maybe fell too in love with the
four hundred and forty eight yards passing last week?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I was getting ready to say that too. I'm like,
I think there have been something about that four hundred
and forty eight that seems sexy, like Okay, we can't
go ahead and do this again, we can do it again,
and here it is. I thought that what needed to
happen was just run the ball.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Run it.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
You got ric o'donald, you got Tuba. Just run the ball,
and you see what you can see the running ability
of ric O'Donnell. He's just that good. And the fact
that you when you abandoned that, you know, I just
thought you just gave up on it to too easily
to and a lot of you know, I'm getting text
from people like, hey man, why don't we run the ball?
(08:15):
Why don't we run the ball? Why don't we run
the ball?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Why do we run the ball? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I agree, we should run the ball, especially in a
short situations with the one the two point conversion from
the one yard line.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Those are both pass.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Plays, pass plays which again, and it didn't matter they
went for two or went for the one, just the
extra point, I guess by the end of the game.
But in that moment, just again the philosophy like you're
at the one and Rico wasn't even on the.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Field for the two point conversion. Tew Bow was out there,
that's right.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
And here it is when you think about that, they
were also in a gun situation too, because if you
got to run the ball, I'm going to have him
get underneath the center. You're not a threat of the
you know, of the quarterback sneak is there, off you
can go off guard off that. But now when you
hand the ball you got, you're not waiting for the
ball to get back to you at five yard You're
(09:01):
gonna hand the ball off immediately as the running back
is coming towards you. And so from that standpoint is
it's a different mentality. And then you tell your dogs
up the front, hey man, digging man, I need you
to move these guys.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Off the ball.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Dude, we're good enough to pick up a yard, a yard,
a yard and a half. We're good enough. And I
thought that when we abandoned a run, I think that's
very very difficult, you know, I think that's really difficult
to make a pass when it's a one yard that
you need.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Because of a small field obviously at that point, and
that it's just not much operating.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Space for the receivers. That operating space is not there.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
And then we know that you're gonna turn around and
the ball is gonna be out there quick, or you're
gonna be running the corner, or you're gonna run across
the other side. You don't got all that time.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
You just don't have it. You got you a.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Run seems to be in order, and it wasn't.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
All right.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Well, we'll take a break here. We got lots to
get you here. In the post game show, we'll listen
back to some of the highlights. We'll talk with the
coach and some of the players. We'll get the final
thoughts from the booth again. The final score twenty to nine,
San Francisco, handing a Panthers, a loss that drops a
record a six and six. More to come next on
the Carolina Panthers Radio Network, twenty to nine Finals score
(10:20):
for the Niners over the Carolina Panthers. Panthers Football is
brought to you by the Hotted Dealers of the Carolina's
Jim Zokilong with Eugene Robinson. In the wake of what happened,
we'll listen back to some of the highlights here. Eugene,
we talked about the interceptions that happened in the first
half and J. C. Horne had two like Jackson had
one that kept the Panthers in it. They were down
ten to three at halftime, and then in the second half.
(10:43):
Christian McCaffrey didn't have a huge night, but here he
scores on a twelve yard touchdown for san Fran.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Forton out of the game.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
Ashawn Robinson's back in second down and three san Fran
from the Panther twelve I formation toss left. McCaffrey spins
it across the fifteen. He's got the ten vibe. It
takes it into the end zone for a forty nine
er touchdown.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Makes it seventeen to three Niners.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
In the third quarter, however, the Panthers would come back
and this is the Whataburger.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
What a moment of the game.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Grilling delicious food for seventy five years. Whataburger, just the
way you like it? Bryce Young to Ttero McMillan. The
highlight of the entire game for the Panthers offense. Here
on the twenty nine yard score.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Here Panthers down two scores Bryce and the gun Hubert
has been in all drive. Young in the pocket, throws
deep down field, has a man open, caught by McMillan
the California connection. Bryce Young to tenroa McMillan ay twenty
nine yard touchdown, and it's a one score game.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
And it would stay a one score game seventeen to
nine and not seventeen ten as there was a penalty
on San Francisco. Panthers decided to go for two miss
on that, so it's seventeen nine. At that point, Panthers
would fall behind by a score of twenty to nine.
And then Bryce Young intercepted for a second time in
what essentially clinched the game for the forty nine ers.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
From the thirty three I'm raising his left leg twice,
takes the snap, there's a five man rush Bryce over
the middle in traffic and it's intercepted. They intercepted at
the twenty five yard line. The Niners take it to
the twenty seven. It is the second pick of the
game for jai Or Brown and the second interception thrown
(12:31):
by Bryce.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Young gire Brown was a problem, but he was waiting
on that one and the other one. He made a
nice drop back into the end zone looking for Mitchell Evans,
the tight end, who was open for a moment, but
he did a good job of recovering and making that
first pick on top of that one you just heard
there as well, and those were you know, that one
not so much because the game was twenty nine at
that point, but the first interception we talked about. There
(12:53):
was just I feel like this game was maybe lost
in the first quarter of the game just because of
what a low scoring game it turned out to be.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Forget the time of possession in that very first quarter.
I mean, really, the forty nine ers had the ball
the almost the entire time in that first quarter, they
controlled the clock, and so because they controlled the clock,
it just seemed like it was going to be this long.
You know, whoever got to ten points to thirteen points
will probably win the game. It felt like one of
(13:22):
those type of games back and forth, and here's when
you have a chance to go ahead and capitalize on
the interception, or you're in the red zone and got
a chance to put points on the you got you
have to you just got to get the points on
the board. And the fact that when we didn't get
the points, did you see how the forty nine ers
(13:44):
their defense, how they turned it on. They all ran
down into the other side of the end zone it
to celebrate it. I mean, it was a momentum shift change.
And also for Brock Purty, like we saved your butt, dude,
go back out there and be Rock Purty and do better.
It was one of those type of moments, and it
was a missed opportunity and I know Bryce would love
(14:06):
to have that back because if he if you give
him the chance to do it again, he would run
it in because guess what, there's nobody on the outside
because they you're ready to get on your edge, and
you would run it back into the side of end
zone because the the safety was looking back on back
on Evans the sticky bass and then so it was
Taylor made for you to go ahead. And if we
(14:28):
get that, it's a different it's just a different ballgame.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
Now.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I'm not saying we win the game, but it's a
different ballgame. You're back in the mix. You you went
tit for tat. It is one of those type of things.
And so I just thought that you're absolutely right. This
game was lost in the very first half, you know,
and you know, and the fact that we also didn't
run the ball as well as we should have been
running the ball and could have run the ball and
(14:55):
that we've abandoned that a little bit.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Man, I think we have nobody to blame. Put ourselves
on that one. Yeah, because it's first and goal.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
If it's something like third and goal, they stoned you
twice on first and second, or even to your point,
even if it's like a bootleg where Brights is running
out and the main option is that he's gonna keep
it and just run into the pylon or something like that,
something safe, but again to throw. Sometimes you get a
tight end sneak out and they're just so open you
have to throw.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
It to him. That was not the case. That was
not the case. That was not the case. And the
throat in the back of the end zone like that,
you bring everybody back into play. I've been on when
somebody's on a boot leg and they think they can
throw the ball. Now, even it's not that it's going
backwards because you still run into your right hand side,
but it's east. It's a lot easier than what you
(15:41):
think because you bring people back into play. And don't
forget he catches the ball because he's outside of Evans
and he has to go back towards Evans on his
right hand side to get it interception.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
You bring a guy back into play who shouldn't even
be there. And so that's standpoint man, misopportunity, misopportunity, miss opportunity,
and that's one that you can't get back. And those
points you can't get back off the board. Oh, you
can't put the ports on the board.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So fall half a game behind Tampa Bay unfortunately, so
we're tied for first at the beginning of the game,
but to end up at six and six neck at
the La Rams coming in next week. We'll talk about
that a little bit later on in this postgame show.
As we roll on again twenty to nine. The final
score is the Panthers lose in San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yes, he's the Panthers postgame Show live from Bank of
America Citio.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
SO three gives straight up the Middle Touchdown, Touchdown, Carolina.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Reaction and analysis to tonight's game with special guests, highlights
and updates from around the league.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Complete touchdown, right side makes the catch touchdown.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Heather now to Jim Zoki with the Panthers postgame Show,
exclusively on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Primetime game and the Panthers not ready for primetime.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
As it turned out, twenty to nine.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
They lose at Santa Clair against the San Francisco forty
nine ers. Jim Zochi Eugene Robinson with you, and uh,
we'll hear from some of the players and coach canals
coming up. Eugene, You've been kind of digging into some
of the team stats. Who ran through some of the
individual numbers there, and they kind of reflect the one
sidedness of how this went, especially against the Panthers' offense.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Yeah, when it's the total yards, they were three forty
to our two thirty. They're passing yards one ninety three
to our one sixty one, they're rushing yards one forty
seven to our sixty nine rushing yards. But I think
the most telling stat is when we do third down efficiency.
They were seven for thirteen and we were one for seven.
They were over fifty percent on third down. That means
(17:40):
they converted on third down to go ahead and get
a new set of downs, and we were fourteen percent
on third down, Oh my goodness. And then on fourth
down they were one hundred percent and then we didn't
we didn't have any fourth down plays. But when you
look at that, and in the total possession there were
roughly thirty eight minutes to our twenty two minutes. So
(18:00):
they controlled everything, and they controlled that down that I
said is the most critical down, which is third down.
What do you do on third down? Are you able
to extend the extend the series? And if you can't,
you have to turn the ball over? Well, guess what
fourteen percent of the time that we did something to
their fifty percent of the time. And so that is
(18:21):
a telling beside the interceptions, you know, because there was
almost a loss three to two.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Besides that, that third down.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Officiency, that means that you can't get off the field,
and that means that you can't stay on the field.
That's really really telling, and that seems to be the
story of the show.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
And it wasn't like San Francisco. It's like this dominatings
coming into this game.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
No, they were I wanted.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
They were twenty ninth I think, could stop in the pass.
They had like the fewest sacks in the league. They
weren'tetting a lot of pressure on teams. They were pretty
good stopping the run. But the Panthers, we point out
the numbers individually, very few rushing attempts, but Cuba was
over five yards per Carrie Rico was over six yards carry,
and that to me was just kind of the thing
when you look at the game that was pretty tight throughout,
(19:05):
that we were so one sided in terms of the
not being bounced between the pass and the run. Game
is again, that's stuff that we control. There were penalties
and other things that happened, but there's certain things that
you control, and that that's an interesting one that we
kind of didn't take advantage of a situation where they
weren't really stopping the run that.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Well, because remember what coach Canalis said against the Saints.
He said one of the things he kept saying was
that we weren't ballots. Weren't ballots. And I thought that
when we played the Folcus there was going to be
a referendum on Bryce Young and old coach Canalis. Can
you call a game where they stopped the run and
they make you throw the ball? Well, he asked that question,
you know, easily emphatically, both Coach Canalis and Bryce Young.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Yeah, four hundred and forty eight yards.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Okay, Now, when you get caught behind and you abandoned
the run and you're looking for that pass. There was
no ballance because the ballots in this case should have
been the run. Should have been a return to the
run in my opinion, as opposed to not going to run.
And then as we see one for seven fourteen percent
(20:11):
on third down, you're throwing the ball in somehow it
just wasn't connecting. And don't forget. Then you added the interceptions.
The two interceptions are critical.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, because you already were plus three at one point. Yes,
the critical, and you give two back in the interception part.
Injury updates you brought to you by a trim health
doing more to keep you moving, achieving and striving at
every agent stage so you can live fully. And that
was a story in this game too, and actually a
credit to the Panthers defense. They hung in minus the
players that left this game, which included J. C. Horn
who had the two interceptions, Claude Cheryliss who was starting
(20:41):
at linebackers well because of the injuries.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Chris Barnes.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
I don't know how he ended up, but he was
being evaluated for concussion, as were Horn and cheryl Lists
In this game. Corey Thornton was playing more at cornerback,
especially when Jace Horn got hurt. He left with an injury.
I think it was a knee, and Chandler Zavalla left
with an injury. So that was five guys that are
playing either starting or big minutes for you that were
that We're out of the game from that point on.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
And that's when San Francisco says, let me take advantage
of the run because you can.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Because when you have.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
That many players defensively, who are some of your main
players that are out in the mix, whether it's corners
coming up from the outside, the force adds back into
all the help. Don't forget you. You already down a
couple of linebackers already when you when you're taking that
now you talk about that's Christian McCaffrey back there. I mean,
(21:33):
he's special. He can run the rock. And so from
that standpoint, I say, like, wow, well we were losing players.
I'm going this is gonna be really tough for the
defense to go ahead and to to to really pull
up a fight. This is where the offense has to
go ahead and take over for the defense. Because the
defense kept you in and that first half the third quarter,
(21:57):
but they couldn't keep you in the game because it
was just it was a war of attrition. They're just
losing too many bodies.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
And one of the guys that filled in we'll hear
from in the next segment coming up is Bam Martin Scott,
a former South Carolina Gamecock linebacker. He played some good
moments in the second half. We'll hear from him when
we come back next. As we continue to wrap up
a twenty to nine loss in San Francisco, you're listening
on the Carolina Panthers Radio network. Panthers, limited by injuries
(22:28):
on defense, did a good job of keeping a score low.
Got to say, twenty to nine on the defensive side,
but a loss to San Francisco. One of the players
stepping up former South Carolina Gamecock Van Martin Scott. He
had six tackles in this game and talked with the
guys afterwards.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Any Schrop, Jordan Gross, Luke Kickley with Panthers linebacker Bam
Martin Scott. We hear next man up. When Claude Cheryliss
went down. What went through your head?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Just being ready with my number car just knowing my schemes,
knowing my technique, and just standing tuoting myself in the moment.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
What did it mean to kind of get this extended
opportunity on Monday night football with the world watching.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Yeah, it meant everything, just playing for my team, just
the love of my teammates, you know, and then also
just planning for that name on the back of my jersey.
So it meant a lot to me.
Speaker 8 (23:14):
Bamn, How quick did it go from Okay, I'm the
guy in It's Monday Night Football, Christian McCaffrey's across the
ball from me to just playing football And I really
thought you did a great job with that, some great
tackles and looking like a veteran out there playing in
a big stage.
Speaker 7 (23:28):
Yeah, it went real fast for me, just like watching
those guys growing up and just seeing it, but just
knowing that I'm a player now, so I can't be
too much in the moment of that.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Absolutely right, You're you're one of those guys now too.
You always gotta keep that in your mind. But just
kind of just kind of talk about your prep this
week going into this game. What does that look like
for you being a guy that doesn't get a ton
of reps at practice with those older guys being in
there and then having your name called to go out
there and play a substantial amount of time like you
did tonight.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Yeah, just going to a lot of preparation with my
assistant coach, Coach Mayor, just coming in early in the morning,
going over to practice prepping, just knowing the plays and
understanding my assignments and just being ready with my name
claud really Yeah, it.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Looked like you played fast the little TfL and Christian
on that zone play. What'd you see on that one?
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Yeah, I just seen a whole open up play. Well,
I've seen get ball. There we go.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
I like it.
Speaker 7 (24:23):
Thanks for joining us, Yeah, thank y'all.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
I appreciate it all right. So that is bam.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Martin Scott, he had six tackles. Chris Barnes was brought
in off the practice squad as a starter. He had
ten tackles and again he left later in the game.
Uh in concussion protocol. Treyvon Merrick had eight tackles. Nick
Scott had eight, Ashaan Robinson had seven.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Claude Cherlis had four who was at a starter, and
again he left the game early on too. But man,
that I felt bad for Jero Overa was like he
I think he was goingt to start recruiting from the
offensive side to finish the game.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
I have enough defensive play, I thought so too.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
I was like, man, do we have enough like secondary guys,
because then when you get secondary guys that are hurt
in the game and you have to go ahead and
replace a JC. You got to replace a Thornton, you
got you gotta move Smith Wade, you gotta go ahead
and put in maybe a linebacker in in the position
in a nickel sometimes we call that penny. And so
(25:14):
from that standpoint, you have to change up your packages
a lot. And so this was a game for a
war of attrition. If you if you will on the
defensive side, and coach Gerrod, I'll tell you what I
felt for you, because you've got a formidable opponent on
the other side. They run the ball well. You know,
they're a well coached team. And the bread and butter
(25:37):
guy is Christian McCaffrey. Seven hundred yard plus rods yards
are rushing to that point of receiving, seven hundred plus
yards receiving to that point. He's just that guy. And
now I gotta face that guy. And I'm not at
full strength. But you played a hand that you're deal't
so I thought that they did well defensively, and but
(25:58):
I'm gonna put it on the offense. If I can
put it on, put something, it gotta go in the office.
You got to go ahead and alleviate the pressure that
the defense is feeling because of that war of attrition.
Guys are going out the game and you got to
control the ball, and you got to put points on
there when you have the opportunity, and you had plenty
of opportunity to put points on the board.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Only two hundred and thirty yards of offense in the
game for Carolina. We'll hear from coach Dave Canalis. We'll
hear from Jordan Gross and Luke Kickley with a niche
and get their final thoughts as we continue through the
postgame show. Niners win over the Panthers by a score
of twenty to nine.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Back to the Panthers postgame Show, live from Bank of
America Citium, exclusively on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Forty nine.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Ers win over the Panthers in Santa Clara by a
score of twenty to nine.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
They improved to eight and four.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Panthers record now at six and six, two hundred and
thirty yards of offense for Carolina, three forty for San Francisco.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Let's hear from the coach, Dave Canalys with the guys
in the bo we're.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Joined by Panthers head coach Dave Canallis. Dave, the first half,
did you walk away kind of like we did, thinking, hey,
there were some opportunities here that it just didn't manifest.
Speaker 9 (27:12):
Absolutely, that was the story of the day, was missed opportunities.
And anytime you get three three interceptions off of a group,
you know, we expect to score points on those. We
expect to come away with some success there and flip
the probabilities and the chances of us winning the game.
And we left it out there, you know, and through
an interception and and didn't come away with points you know,
(27:33):
on on those drives. So we have to make sure
we capitalize. And it really just comes down to the
fundamental basics that we talk about, coach.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
One of the things is Jordan here before the game,
I said, man, we got to really protect Bryce Young.
He's got the banged up ankle. At such a great
job last week throwing the ball, and I thought, for
the most part, the old line just did an awesome
job today against four or five man rushes. What your
thoughts after their performance tonight?
Speaker 9 (27:56):
Yeah, I agree. This group came together, they had a
plan for the different pressures and and rush packages that
they were going to give us, and you know, we
just it came down to some one on one opportunities
that we weren't able to make, you know, and you
know you're in those third down situations, and we didn't
come away with, you know, being able to get a
new set of downs, to get deeper and deeper into
our play play action passes, get back to.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
The run game.
Speaker 9 (28:17):
And next thing, you know, we look up and we
got to go and we got to put the ball
down the field.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Coach Luke here, you know, obviously with the injuries to
Christian rose Boom and Trevin Wallace, Clauden goes down today.
Just talk about Bam Martin Scott stepping up. I feel
like he was productive, six tackles, big TfL against Christian
McCaffrey and just good effort to the ball.
Speaker 9 (28:35):
Absolutely a tribute to his hard work and you know,
just being ready, being ready to go and paying attention
to the meetings. And while he may not get all
those reps, you know, we expect those guys to be
ready when we call on them. And so it's a
it's going to be a short week, and we got
we had some injuries and some spots. So we got
some guys that are going to be able to step
up and have an opportunity to help their team.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Great, thanks, coach, coach, appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
We'll talk to you tomorrow, all right.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Thanks guys.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Tough week because of that, you have to travel back
from Sam Franz and get back, you know, overnight into Tuesday,
Thanksgiving Thursday. It's a work week, we know that, but
it's going to be again. You want to get guys
out quickly. Usually usually do something early and get them out.
And then you've got the La Rams coming in on Sunday,
which is a hot team, and you've got a bunch
of injuries out of this one. It's kind of a
(29:18):
lot going on at the same time. Where you've got
the flight, you've got the injuries, you've got a holiday.
The only thing working for you that is that it's
a home game coming up on Sunday. But other than that,
I mean, and then the Rams have to come in
from their.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
West coast to do this one. It's not setting up
real well.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Put it that way, and then here's it. You have
to watch the film. This is the one that you
really have to go over the film because there's so
many places that you have to correct. You know, there's
injuries that you have to go ahead and look at
different personnel playing this. So you have to teach that,
and then you have to look at those missed opportunities.
And here it is. I mean, Coach was saying and
(29:53):
I thought, what I'm hearing them say is that, look,
we've missed the opportunities on office and go ahead and
keep ourselves in the game. And I'm saying that's man, Well,
if if the line protected you, as Jordan and Coach
agree that the line did a great job of protection,
it falls on your quarterback here to go ahead and
(30:15):
get the rock out and and to make those plays.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
And so this is what.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Comes with the accolades and the applause that you receive
last week.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Bryce, this is what comes with it.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
It's the learning process that you got to also take
that which you got today. You have to take them
both because that makes you a better player. That makes
you You never play as good as you think you played,
and you never play as bad as you think you played,
you're somewhere in between. And but you got to take
both with uh. You know, when you have when you
(30:48):
have that type of criticism, that's that's gonna come, and
I'm gonna encourage you take it. Take that criticism that's
gonna come about what you did in this game and
not advanced in your efforts to go ahead in avast
the team where you had an opportunity to do so.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
And again, if it wasn't working successfully there the running backs,
you'll get them to move that pressure point off if
it's just not happening in a big way in this game.
His numbers were very comparable to brock Perty, and Perty
had three interceptions.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Bryce ends up with two. They both had a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Party throws for one ninety three, Bryce throws for one
sixty nine. Quarterback ratings are both right around sixty. So
I mean it was kind of a wash, is what
I'm saying. At the quarterback position. The difference was the
running game. The running game. It wasn't so much that
they were successful in a big way because Miccaffery is
only three point seven per Kerry. It was just again
the running backs. Nine rushing attempts, they're running backs. Total
(31:43):
attempts were at thirty two compared to nine. So again, yes,
they played with a lead, but for most of the
game it was a one possession lead. It wasn't like
a game where you would like come off of it
because you had to start throwing for a reason.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
And if there is a criticism, k I can you
know maybe launch at the defense, is that the edges
weren't taken care of. I mean, they've been able to
run stretch, They've been able to run some toss sweeps
and get on the outside, and when they got on
the outside, they were able to do some damage.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
And when we.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Didn't keep our edges and force the ball back into
our inside help like that tackle for the loss that
that Bam had on on We'll said when we didn't
do that, they were successful. So they were successful running
the ball and running the ball and getting to the outside.
And because of that, you know, I thought that was
the only criticism I could really launch at the defense
(32:39):
because like, hey, man, protect your edges, man, make sure
you force that ball back inside. And if you don't
force it back inside, you're gonna make it really difficult
for the guy on the outside to make a tackle.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
I guess a Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
It ain't easy or Jenning's it ain't easy. It's not
easy to make those tackles on the outside, so you
need to force it back to yell. We didn't do that.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
When we come back here from as you mentioned, Jordan
Gross in the booth tonight with Luke and Aniche get
their final thoughts. That's coming up next again. The final
score twenty to nine, nine Ers win over the Panthers.
This is the Carolina Panthers Radio Network. Panthers come up
short on Monday Night Football lose at San Francisco by
(33:20):
a score of twenty to nine. Belk a proud partner
of the Carolina Panthers and your hometown favored in the
Fashion Game since eighteen eighty eight. The holiday season is
here and Bel's got great deals on gifts, at hosting
essentials and party outfits and so much more. Belk in
the game since eighteen eighty eight. Let's go back out
to Santa Clara now and the final thoughts from the
guys in the.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
Booth, Any Shroff, Jordan Gross, Luke Kickley. Final score from
Levi Stadium forty nine Ers twenty Panthers nine. And the
hard part of digesting this one, Luke was there were
opportunities in the first half where the Panthers didn't capitalize
on San Francisco mistakes, and then there were just ill
(34:00):
timed mistakes by the Panthers. And this is a good team,
it's a veteran team, it's a team that's played on
the big stage before. You only get so many mulligans.
And the forty nine ers from a game plan standpoint,
they shortened the game with some long drives. They controlled
the clock, They kept the Panthers offense off the field
for most of the first half. Carolina only ran nineteen
(34:23):
plays in the opening half, and by the time the
Panthers offense could find any sort of rhythm, they ran
out of time.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Yeah, and exactly that. And you know the two turnovers,
you know obviously the one the first and first and
goal for the one and a half two yard line.
We throw an interception that's points off the board. And
then then the second turnover, we're again going down the
field to score again and again throw another interception. It's
just it's so difficult because I feel like we win
(34:53):
a big game like that last week against Atlanta, Brice
played as well, the offense is humming, and then we
come out this week and we're just we weren't able
to get the same thing going. It's it's difficult, and
I think that's kind of been the tail of the
season for us, is which team, which team are we
gonna get? And yeah, I know we've dealt with some injuries,
had a lot of guys banged up, both on the
offensive line and on defense, but we just would like
(35:15):
I just I just was hoping for so much more,
an opportunity last night or tonight, after Tampa last loss
last night, to take control this division, and we just
weren't quite able to get it done to I think,
just too many mistakes and we weren't able to capitalize
on the plays that we were able to make on defense.
Speaker 5 (35:34):
We're looking at each other like.
Speaker 8 (35:36):
Well, what do you think the stat I'm looking at
the end of game stats here. Rico averaged six point
three yards per Carrie. Cuba averaged five point three yards
per Carrie. It was a weird game, right Like the
first half, there was no real possessions and what I
mean by that is three and outs, a short field.
First drive of the second half, we were able to
(35:56):
actually put a drive together and score. You look back
on this, if you're the line of Panthers, you might say, man,
it looks like maybe there was some more hay to
be made running that ball. Time of possession was all
out of whack. The Niners had the ball fifteen minutes
more than the Panthers did.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
We had three gifts from brock Purty in the first half.
Speaker 8 (36:15):
I mean, you got to turn that into a surplus
of points early on the road.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Championship opportunity.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
Dave Canalis said that Monday Night football, and it just
kind of whatever the word is. Didn't take advantage of
it and then have a turnover. You have a turnover,
us show you, I'll have a turnover. It just we
said it has to be a clean game. If we
play clean, we got a chance to win this team.
We didn't play clean it and this is what it
looks like. You lose by eleven on the road.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
And that's been in many ways the story of the
season for the Panthers. Luke where this is a better
team because they've been able to overcome that. At times,
they've been able to overcome mistakes, but We're now at
the juncture of the season, and certainly with the schedule
where you're playing good teams. You're playing teams have routinely
been in the playoffs that have won big games. And listen,
(37:04):
when you zoom out six and six after where this
team was the last few years, you're in a good spot.
Everything is still in front of you. It's all there,
but the growing pains seem to be a part of it.
And I think it's gonna be an imperative for the
Panthers and Dave Canals will probably say it, for them
to have a chance to make a real playoff push
(37:26):
over these next five games. Avoiding turnovers, avoiding the mistakes,
and then capitalizing on the other team's mistakes. Those are
things you gotta do well.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
I'll say this. I was talking to Dan Morgan for
the game.
Speaker 8 (37:37):
I said, Man, you're finally getting the buy in a
couple weeks and he looked at me, Bro, we need
it right. Like these guys have been playing football since
dang near July, or actually since July without that bye week.
Speaker 5 (37:49):
They gotta just gut it out and get a win.
Speaker 8 (37:51):
Anise you and I were talking before the game off
the air Hey, if we win one of these next two,
we're in a good spot.
Speaker 5 (37:57):
So I'm the eternal optimist. I'm gonna focus on that week.
That'll heal a lot of wounds if you could get
a win at home.
Speaker 8 (38:03):
But it's gonna be very, very tough against a good
Rams team, and as Dan Morgan said, we're beat up
this late in the season.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
Still haven't had our buy Luke.
Speaker 6 (38:11):
What's the recipe for consistency the rest of the way.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
I think we're still trying to. I still think we're
trying to find it. But I think Jordan is one
hundred percent right, and you're one hundred percent right too.
You mentioned this as well. Turnovers have killed us. You know,
we we forced turnovers and we're not able to get
points off of it. And then we turned the ball
over in the red zone. We did it twice today
and we just can't. We can't do that. And you know,
we only ran the ball nine times a day design runs.
(38:37):
Rico had six, Jordan references, Cuba had three, and we
ran it consistently and we just it's like Jordan said,
it felt it felt weird. You know, the first drive
of the game, we go three and out, then we
get the ball on the plus sixteen yard line, throw
the pick, and then the third possession we get the
ball in the twenty and go three and out, and
then we get the ball on the plus forty after
another pick, just kick kick a field goal and then
(39:00):
three and out to end a half. So there was
there was really no rhythm on the offensive side of
the ball, and I think that kind of moved itself
into the second half. So if we can just limit turnovers,
play clean football, like Jordan referenced earlier in this game,
it gives us a chance. But I don't think we're
at the point yet with this team that we can
overcome turnovers and overcome slow starts well.
Speaker 6 (39:21):
And the challenge gets greater next Sunday when the Rams
come to town and we'll see how healthy the Panthers
are injuries to watch j C. Horn, Claude and Cherless,
Corey Thornton, and Chandler Zavala, not to mention guys like
cade May's Christian Roseboom and Trevin Wallace who were out
going into tonight's game. Final score from Santa Clara and
(39:42):
Levi Stadium forty nine Ers twenty Panthers nine, Carolina drops
to five hundred at six and six.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
All right, so they kind of reiterated some of the
things we chopped up a little bit earlier. We'll talk
more about it, look ahead to the Rams game, and
we come back next postgame show continuing with the Niners
winning over the Panthers in Santa Clair.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
There are twenty to.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Nine back to chim Silky live from the Bank of
America CITIU with the Panthers postgame show exclusively on the
Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
This Panthers season, stay ice Cold with Zippy Ice based
right here in Charlotte of the ice provider at Bank
of America Stadium, keeping her drinks in the Panthers cool
all game long. Zippy Ice keeping Carolina cool, one game
at a time. So, Eugene, the Panthers lose this game
twenty to nine, they're six and six. So even with
that loss, and every time we lose, when I feel
like the count is three, and every time we win one,
(40:35):
we feel like we're going to the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
So we have to kind of settle down. Six and six.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
We have five games to go, only a half a
game behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baker Mayfield's dinged
up right now. We'll see if he plays this week
or not, but we'll see them twice later in the year,
So there's gonna be opportunities still for some big games.
But coming up now, probably the most talented team will
face all year next week at home the nine to
two LA Rams. And I think most everybody leaves mattch
(41:00):
Stafford to this point of the season is the MB
He's MVP. He's had ridiculous I don't know exactly where
he is. I think he's about thirty touchdowns two interceptions.
That's gonna be within one or so of being right.
As far as the touchdowns game, he's always Adams is
rejuvenated in that offense.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
Yeah, I mean, Stafford has always been a beast. I
thought when he was with Detroit he was a beast.
He's always been that guy. I mean, there's no doubt
about that. And so when we talk about, you know,
going against the nine and two Rams, we got our
work cutout for us. And here let me just say
that I think that San Francisco got away with one
because when you think about three interceptions, man.
Speaker 5 (41:40):
You should lose the game.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
You really should lose the game, and so, uh, you
know the fact that we didn't capitalize, you know, and
I get it.
Speaker 5 (41:47):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
I get it for those San Francisco fans, but you're capitalized,
So I get it.
Speaker 5 (41:52):
But it San.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
Francisco won that by the skin of their teeth, if
you if you, if you will, because they they could
have easily lost that game. And we've been talking about
the flip side brock Party. Man, what's going on with
brock Party?
Speaker 5 (42:07):
All right?
Speaker 4 (42:07):
That that would be the that would be the story.
But they didn't because we didn't capitalize. And so I
am just like Luke and just like Jordan's struggling to
find words to go ahead and make this a softer blow.
But don't make a softer blow. Look, we gotta know
what Carolina pether. The team is going to show up,
(42:28):
and right now it's so precarious and it's so you know,
duplicit that we don't know which team is going to
show up, and that has to get settled. And I
think moving forward, that's what coach has to get settled
if we're going to find ourselves in the playoffs, because
there are some winnerable games. That's that's coming up. But
(42:48):
there's some games that you can absolutely lose because when
you get down the stretch area, win in November, you
probably go to the playoffs. Don't win in November, you
probably stay home.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
That's November is or to remember and the running game
is to be remembered as well. And so says what
the coaches comments about that. As far as the details
of that with the press after the game was as well,
all right, we have to take one final time out here.
When we come back, we will pick our hardest working
player of the game and wrap things up. Panthers fall
in San fran by score of twenty to nine.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
The Panthers postgame show continues live from Bank of America
c exclusively on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
All Right, final segment as Panthers lose by a score
of twenty to nine to the San Francisco forty nine ers.
Before we get to it, let's pause ten seconds for
Station ID on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 5 (43:41):
All right.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Thanks to our crew, Harold Hamrick, our technical director, Jason Hutchinson,
our game set engineer, Wendel Black, David Eads, Matt Hogan,
our studio engineers, Ben Blevins, Jerry daud Our, network engineers,
Vin Putman, studio producer Amy Martin, broadcast manager Eric Fhidlman,
affiliates manager Sharon Forzan.
Speaker 5 (43:57):
On the sidelines, Bernie Bowles.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
And Braxton Miller, along with the with LinkedIn our executive producer,
bring us to our hardest working player of the game,
presented by Sun Belt Reynolds, the official rental equipment partner
of the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 5 (44:08):
Who do we like?
Speaker 4 (44:09):
I'm going with jac Holn And I know he got
knocked out of the game this and that, but the
two interceptions he got was extremely impressive and we're looking at,
you know, making an impact. He has five interceptions on
the year right now. I mean he's playing extremely well,
but those two were extremely meaningful and of the way
he got them. I'm going with my man, Jac.
Speaker 5 (44:29):
I can't come up with anything on offense.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
I'm going to give a shout out just because you
got jac Chris Barnes off the practice squad and had
ten tackles also didn't finish the game and still had
double digit tackles out there. Asked a lot because of
the injuries that happened inside. Then he was playing some
outside linebacker on top of that before he left the game.
So a couple of guys who put him work on
the defensive side again holding the Niners to twenty points.
Speaker 5 (44:50):
Don't forget they scored forty one last.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Week against Arizona exactly, so at least the defense defense
played well as much as they were.
Speaker 5 (44:58):
A battle of attrition out there it together? So who
is it? H pick on?
Speaker 4 (45:03):
Let's go with jac. Okay, let's go with Jason.
Speaker 5 (45:04):
JC gets the plaque and the what is it like
a gold bar? What does he get?
Speaker 4 (45:09):
It gets like podcast missy when you get a god bar?
Speaker 5 (45:12):
Has he got like a jet? Where does he win?
Speaker 2 (45:14):
So he gets the here's what he gets. He gets
to rent something from sun Belt Reynolds. There you go,
and as we all do, and you can do the same.
All right, that's it. Next week, next Sunday. Hey, crazier
things have happened. It's bounced back season. We never know

Now to chim Soaky with the Panthers postgame show exclusively
on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Panthers with a prime time Monday night game, but unable
to get the victory at San Francisco. They fall by
a score of twenty to nine in a game that
honestly was there. The Panthers just couldn't muster up much offense.
They were really hit hard with injuries during the course
of the game. When you think about it, Eugene with
the number of guys they were down, going in their
(00:34):
two starting linebackers in game, they lose from the defense,
the two guys that were filling in shehery list and
then Barnes. I think it was I looked at for
a concussion.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
J C.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Horn, of course, you're outstanding cornerback, and Corey Thornton. On
top of the injuries, you had to hold San fran
to twenty points. Was actually a pretty pretty remarkable job
by the defense overall.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yeah, you know that. I thought the defense did an
excellent job. There was no doubt about that. When you
come up with that mini Toner turn over to put
your team back in the mix when the offense seems
to be someone up and trying to get going and
not finding their footing, but to continue to get the
offense the ball back. That's incredible, and that's in hostile territory.
(01:18):
And so I thought in that first half, you had
all the chances in the world to go ahead and
to make a statement. And really the first interception I
thought with Bryce, I thought that was going to be
one of the deciding plays that says, you know, that
turned the tide because you had a chance to go
ahead and run it in for a touchdown. I mean,
(01:40):
he's throwing the ball back and he's running to his right.
As he's running, I'm like, oh, if he just continues
to run, he's going to score a touchdown because there's
nobody there at all. But I know what he did
let it to take that pass in the back. I'm
not sure who that was, the Coco Evans, but it
didn't happen.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
It was an interception because.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
He threw the ball behind a little bit and so
and that brings people back into play. That play I
thought was one of the most decisive plays. There was
another player I thought was decisive. That happened in as
well as America has played, America has played. He had
a chance to push McCaffrey out of bounds on a
(02:20):
third down situation right before they scored, and when he didn't,
I said, that play is going to come to haunt
you because they were just starting to move the ball,
and that play, if he gets them out of bounds,
it's a fourth down and four three yards and they
have to pump the ball and they lose the opportunity.
Instead they retain possession, move a downfield, eat up the clock,
(02:43):
eat up the possession of the clock, and score a touchdown.
And so I thought that was another miss opportunity. But
I can't fok the defense and how they played under injuries,
under duress with a Christian McCaffrey, I thought they played
pretty well.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Alderman Jack McCaffrey had eighty nine yards but on twenty
four carries, so three point seven to carry, which by
the way is average heading in seven catches fifty three yards.
So everything was kept in front. No big plays as
far as what he got there. And you're right, when
you have first and goal at the one yard line
off the first JC Horn interception and you come away
with nothing nothing, You come away with nothing and you
(03:18):
have three interceptions in the first quarter and a half
of the game, and you have three points is all
you have to show for all of that. I mean
that's when the game was kind of lost because the Panthers, again,
they just struggled against the Niners defense.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
That's kind of like the middle of the pack, honestly.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I mean, they're missing Nick Bosa, and they're missing Fred
Warner and missing big pieces. They've been injured this year.
So it was interesting after such a big day in
Atlanta that the Panthers are only able to put together
two hundred and thirty yards of offense in this game.
And outside of that Temac touchdown in the fourth quarter,
I mean, it was almost like like nothing was happening.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Nothing was happening and Zook, you're right. I wanted to
see that run be manifested. I wanted to see more
of Vicodonda. I wanted to even see when I saw
how Chuba was actually running catching the ball, but the
ball went latterly on more on screens, checked out to
the back, and I thought that man to abandon the
(04:10):
running game maybe so soon.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
You didn't have to.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
I didn't think you had to abandon that at all,
and not to push the ball down the field, since
you didn't running ball as well, not to push the
ball down the field. I thought there should have been
some shots of just miss Sen send Jalen Coca, Sen
send Jimmy Jimmy Jr. Send him deep down the field
(04:35):
because you were forced the defense to go ahead and
to play it honest. There was an interception by their
by their their free safety. He had two interceptions. There
was an interception where he didn't even respect anybody running deep.
He just jumped the end route which was an eighteen
yard end route coming right to him, and he scored.
(04:56):
I mean not scored. He got an easy interception.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
Because Brown Brown hit both interceptions.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Yeah, because there was no one who can pressed down
the field to make him respect that's going to throw
the ball deep. And when you don't have that threat,
you make it so much easier for the strong safety
and the free free safety to go ahead and to
really take gambles on plays that you know that they
typically wouldn't. He wouldn't be there on that play if
(05:22):
he knows he had a post behind him. You wouldn't
at all.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Didn't take big shots sided a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
And to your point about the running game, Rico Daddle
averaged six point three yards per carry, but he only
carried it six times. Cuba carried five point three yards.
These are great averages. Had three rushing attempts, so Bryce
ran the other four. You know, the running backs only
carried the ball nine times. See three the ball twenty
nine times.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Not enough.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
And here it is I think what we do well
is we run the ball well. And I thought against
this team, this opportunities are running the ball, don't abandon
that run keep, you know, really keep that as your
bread and butter, and it's going to open up the
passing game.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
And here it is.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Typically you don't see drops, but to see McMillan drop
the ball on a on a first down play that
you can move the chains, that's kind of you know,
he makes up for it, but it's disappointing because it
ends a drive. And here it is Caroline Panthers, you
have to play clean. You're on Monday night. You got
(06:25):
a great opportunity to go ahead in San Francisco and
win a game. And we saw that really that game
is actually winnable. That's a winnable game for the Carolina
Panthers if they play well and offensively. I just didn't
see it today. I just I didn't see it. And
here it is Bryce. We haven't talked about Bryce yet.
(06:46):
Those two picks costly, absolutely costly, and one that you
should have run the ball in.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
I thought for a touchdout.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
But the other one, and whether McMillan was getting held
or not, you got to put it on him.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
And safety was waiting on it when it came, so
Still was sitting there.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
He was sitting there because he did not respect that
the ball was going to be thrown behind him at all.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Yeah, it's rough.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
And for Bryce eighteen out of twenty nine, one hundred
and sixty nine yards, so back to a sub two
hundred yard game, one touchdown, two interceptions. But again you
look at again, Bryce ran it four times. None of
those were designed run so in actuality you had twenty
nine pass attempts against nine running calls, which means the
other four were going to be pass attempts. So, I mean,
(07:31):
it's just a disparity as far as the balance. Do
you think we maybe fell too in love with the
four hundred and forty eight yards passing last week?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I was getting ready to say that too. I'm like,
I think there have been something about that four hundred
and forty eight that seems sexy, like Okay, we can't
go ahead and do this again, we can do it again,
and here it is. I thought that what needed to
happen was just run the ball.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Run it.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
You got ric o'donald, you got Tuba. Just run the ball,
and you see what you can see the running ability
of ric O'Donnell. He's just that good. And the fact
that you when you abandoned that, you know, I just
thought you just gave up on it to too easily
to and a lot of you know, I'm getting text
from people like, hey man, why don't we run the ball?
(08:15):
Why don't we run the ball? Why don't we run
the ball?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Why do we run the ball? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I agree, we should run the ball, especially in a
short situations with the one the two point conversion from
the one yard line.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
Those are both pass.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Plays, pass plays which again, and it didn't matter they
went for two or went for the one, just the
extra point, I guess by the end of the game.
But in that moment, just again the philosophy like you're
at the one and Rico wasn't even on the.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Field for the two point conversion. Tew Bow was out there,
that's right.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
And here it is when you think about that, they
were also in a gun situation too, because if you
got to run the ball, I'm going to have him
get underneath the center. You're not a threat of the
you know, of the quarterback sneak is there, off you
can go off guard off that. But now when you
hand the ball you got, you're not waiting for the
ball to get back to you at five yard You're
(09:01):
gonna hand the ball off immediately as the running back
is coming towards you. And so from that standpoint is
it's a different mentality. And then you tell your dogs
up the front, hey man, digging man, I need you
to move these guys.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Off the ball.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Dude, we're good enough to pick up a yard, a yard,
a yard and a half. We're good enough. And I
thought that when we abandoned a run, I think that's
very very difficult, you know, I think that's really difficult
to make a pass when it's a one yard that
you need.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Because of a small field obviously at that point, and
that it's just not much operating.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Space for the receivers. That operating space is not there.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
And then we know that you're gonna turn around and
the ball is gonna be out there quick, or you're
gonna be running the corner, or you're gonna run across
the other side. You don't got all that time.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
You just don't have it. You got you a.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Run seems to be in order, and it wasn't.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
All right.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Well, we'll take a break here. We got lots to
get you here. In the post game show, we'll listen
back to some of the highlights. We'll talk with the
coach and some of the players. We'll get the final
thoughts from the booth again. The final score twenty to nine,
San Francisco, handing a Panthers, a loss that drops a
record a six and six. More to come next on
the Carolina Panthers Radio Network, twenty to nine Finals score
(10:20):
for the Niners over the Carolina Panthers. Panthers Football is
brought to you by the Hotted Dealers of the Carolina's
Jim Zokilong with Eugene Robinson. In the wake of what happened,
we'll listen back to some of the highlights here. Eugene,
we talked about the interceptions that happened in the first
half and J. C. Horne had two like Jackson had
one that kept the Panthers in it. They were down
ten to three at halftime, and then in the second half.
(10:43):
Christian McCaffrey didn't have a huge night, but here he
scores on a twelve yard touchdown for san Fran.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Forton out of the game.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
Ashawn Robinson's back in second down and three san Fran
from the Panther twelve I formation toss left. McCaffrey spins
it across the fifteen. He's got the ten vibe. It
takes it into the end zone for a forty nine
er touchdown.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Makes it seventeen to three Niners.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
In the third quarter, however, the Panthers would come back
and this is the Whataburger.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
What a moment of the game.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Grilling delicious food for seventy five years. Whataburger, just the
way you like it? Bryce Young to Ttero McMillan. The
highlight of the entire game for the Panthers offense. Here
on the twenty nine yard score.
Speaker 6 (11:23):
Here Panthers down two scores Bryce and the gun Hubert
has been in all drive. Young in the pocket, throws
deep down field, has a man open, caught by McMillan
the California connection. Bryce Young to tenroa McMillan ay twenty
nine yard touchdown, and it's a one score game.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
And it would stay a one score game seventeen to
nine and not seventeen ten as there was a penalty
on San Francisco. Panthers decided to go for two miss
on that, so it's seventeen nine. At that point, Panthers
would fall behind by a score of twenty to nine.
And then Bryce Young intercepted for a second time in
what essentially clinched the game for the forty nine ers.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
From the thirty three I'm raising his left leg twice,
takes the snap, there's a five man rush Bryce over
the middle in traffic and it's intercepted. They intercepted at
the twenty five yard line. The Niners take it to
the twenty seven. It is the second pick of the
game for jai Or Brown and the second interception thrown
(12:31):
by Bryce.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Young gire Brown was a problem, but he was waiting
on that one and the other one. He made a
nice drop back into the end zone looking for Mitchell Evans,
the tight end, who was open for a moment, but
he did a good job of recovering and making that
first pick on top of that one you just heard
there as well, and those were you know, that one
not so much because the game was twenty nine at
that point, but the first interception we talked about. There
(12:53):
was just I feel like this game was maybe lost
in the first quarter of the game just because of
what a low scoring game it turned out to be.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Forget the time of possession in that very first quarter.
I mean, really, the forty nine ers had the ball
the almost the entire time in that first quarter, they
controlled the clock, and so because they controlled the clock,
it just seemed like it was going to be this long.
You know, whoever got to ten points to thirteen points
will probably win the game. It felt like one of
(13:22):
those type of games back and forth, and here's when
you have a chance to go ahead and capitalize on
the interception, or you're in the red zone and got
a chance to put points on the you got you
have to you just got to get the points on
the board. And the fact that when we didn't get
the points, did you see how the forty nine ers
(13:44):
their defense, how they turned it on. They all ran
down into the other side of the end zone it
to celebrate it. I mean, it was a momentum shift change.
And also for Brock Purty, like we saved your butt, dude,
go back out there and be Rock Purty and do better.
It was one of those type of moments, and it
was a missed opportunity and I know Bryce would love
(14:06):
to have that back because if he if you give
him the chance to do it again, he would run
it in because guess what, there's nobody on the outside
because they you're ready to get on your edge, and
you would run it back into the side of end
zone because the the safety was looking back on back
on Evans the sticky bass and then so it was
Taylor made for you to go ahead. And if we
(14:28):
get that, it's a different it's just a different ballgame.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
Now.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
I'm not saying we win the game, but it's a
different ballgame. You're back in the mix. You you went
tit for tat. It is one of those type of things.
And so I just thought that you're absolutely right. This
game was lost in the very first half, you know,
and you know, and the fact that we also didn't
run the ball as well as we should have been
running the ball and could have run the ball and
(14:55):
that we've abandoned that a little bit.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Man, I think we have nobody to blame. Put ourselves
on that one. Yeah, because it's first and goal.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
If it's something like third and goal, they stoned you
twice on first and second, or even to your point,
even if it's like a bootleg where Brights is running
out and the main option is that he's gonna keep
it and just run into the pylon or something like that,
something safe, but again to throw. Sometimes you get a
tight end sneak out and they're just so open you
have to throw.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
It to him. That was not the case. That was
not the case. That was not the case. And the
throat in the back of the end zone like that,
you bring everybody back into play. I've been on when
somebody's on a boot leg and they think they can
throw the ball. Now, even it's not that it's going
backwards because you still run into your right hand side,
but it's east. It's a lot easier than what you
(15:41):
think because you bring people back into play. And don't
forget he catches the ball because he's outside of Evans
and he has to go back towards Evans on his
right hand side to get it interception.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
That's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
You bring a guy back into play who shouldn't even
be there. And so that's standpoint man, misopportunity, misopportunity, miss opportunity,
and that's one that you can't get back. And those
points you can't get back off the board. Oh, you
can't put the ports on the board.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So fall half a game behind Tampa Bay unfortunately, so
we're tied for first at the beginning of the game,
but to end up at six and six neck at
the La Rams coming in next week. We'll talk about
that a little bit later on in this postgame show.
As we roll on again twenty to nine. The final
score is the Panthers lose in San Francisco.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yes, he's the Panthers postgame Show live from Bank of
America Citio.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
SO three gives straight up the Middle Touchdown, Touchdown, Carolina.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Reaction and analysis to tonight's game with special guests, highlights
and updates from around the league.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Complete touchdown, right side makes the catch touchdown.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Heather now to Jim Zoki with the Panthers postgame Show,
exclusively on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Primetime game and the Panthers not ready for primetime.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
As it turned out, twenty to nine.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
They lose at Santa Clair against the San Francisco forty
nine ers. Jim Zochi Eugene Robinson with you, and uh,
we'll hear from some of the players and coach canals
coming up. Eugene, You've been kind of digging into some
of the team stats. Who ran through some of the
individual numbers there, and they kind of reflect the one
sidedness of how this went, especially against the Panthers' offense.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Yeah, when it's the total yards, they were three forty
to our two thirty. They're passing yards one ninety three
to our one sixty one, they're rushing yards one forty
seven to our sixty nine rushing yards. But I think
the most telling stat is when we do third down efficiency.
They were seven for thirteen and we were one for seven.
They were over fifty percent on third down. That means
(17:40):
they converted on third down to go ahead and get
a new set of downs, and we were fourteen percent
on third down, Oh my goodness. And then on fourth
down they were one hundred percent and then we didn't
we didn't have any fourth down plays. But when you
look at that, and in the total possession there were
roughly thirty eight minutes to our twenty two minutes. So
(18:00):
they controlled everything, and they controlled that down that I
said is the most critical down, which is third down.
What do you do on third down? Are you able
to extend the extend the series? And if you can't,
you have to turn the ball over? Well, guess what
fourteen percent of the time that we did something to
their fifty percent of the time. And so that is
(18:21):
a telling beside the interceptions, you know, because there was
almost a loss three to two.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Besides that, that third down.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Officiency, that means that you can't get off the field,
and that means that you can't stay on the field.
That's really really telling, and that seems to be the
story of the show.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
And it wasn't like San Francisco. It's like this dominatings
coming into this game.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
No, they were I wanted.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
They were twenty ninth I think, could stop in the pass.
They had like the fewest sacks in the league. They
weren'tetting a lot of pressure on teams. They were pretty
good stopping the run. But the Panthers, we point out
the numbers individually, very few rushing attempts, but Cuba was
over five yards per Carrie Rico was over six yards carry,
and that to me was just kind of the thing
when you look at the game that was pretty tight throughout,
(19:05):
that we were so one sided in terms of the
not being bounced between the pass and the run. Game
is again, that's stuff that we control. There were penalties
and other things that happened, but there's certain things that
you control, and that that's an interesting one that we
kind of didn't take advantage of a situation where they
weren't really stopping the run that.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Well, because remember what coach Canalis said against the Saints.
He said one of the things he kept saying was
that we weren't ballots. Weren't ballots. And I thought that
when we played the Folcus there was going to be
a referendum on Bryce Young and old coach Canalis. Can
you call a game where they stopped the run and
they make you throw the ball? Well, he asked that question,
you know, easily emphatically, both Coach Canalis and Bryce Young.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Yeah, four hundred and forty eight yards.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Okay, Now, when you get caught behind and you abandoned
the run and you're looking for that pass. There was
no ballance because the ballots in this case should have
been the run. Should have been a return to the
run in my opinion, as opposed to not going to run.
And then as we see one for seven fourteen percent
(20:11):
on third down, you're throwing the ball in somehow it
just wasn't connecting. And don't forget. Then you added the interceptions.
The two interceptions are critical.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, because you already were plus three at one point. Yes,
the critical, and you give two back in the interception part.
Injury updates you brought to you by a trim health
doing more to keep you moving, achieving and striving at
every agent stage so you can live fully. And that
was a story in this game too, and actually a
credit to the Panthers defense. They hung in minus the
players that left this game, which included J. C. Horn
who had the two interceptions, Claude Cheryliss who was starting
(20:41):
at linebackers well because of the injuries.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Chris Barnes.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
I don't know how he ended up, but he was
being evaluated for concussion, as were Horn and cheryl Lists
In this game. Corey Thornton was playing more at cornerback,
especially when Jace Horn got hurt. He left with an injury.
I think it was a knee, and Chandler Zavalla left
with an injury. So that was five guys that are
playing either starting or big minutes for you that were
that We're out of the game from that point on.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
And that's when San Francisco says, let me take advantage
of the run because you can.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Because when you have.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
That many players defensively, who are some of your main
players that are out in the mix, whether it's corners
coming up from the outside, the force adds back into
all the help. Don't forget you. You already down a
couple of linebackers already when you when you're taking that
now you talk about that's Christian McCaffrey back there. I mean,
(21:33):
he's special. He can run the rock. And so from
that standpoint, I say, like, wow, well we were losing players.
I'm going this is gonna be really tough for the
defense to go ahead and to to to really pull
up a fight. This is where the offense has to
go ahead and take over for the defense. Because the
defense kept you in and that first half the third quarter,
(21:57):
but they couldn't keep you in the game because it
was just it was a war of attrition. They're just
losing too many bodies.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Yeah, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
And one of the guys that filled in we'll hear
from in the next segment coming up is Bam Martin Scott,
a former South Carolina Gamecock linebacker. He played some good
moments in the second half. We'll hear from him when
we come back next. As we continue to wrap up
a twenty to nine loss in San Francisco, you're listening
on the Carolina Panthers Radio network. Panthers, limited by injuries
(22:28):
on defense, did a good job of keeping a score low.
Got to say, twenty to nine on the defensive side,
but a loss to San Francisco. One of the players
stepping up former South Carolina Gamecock Van Martin Scott. He
had six tackles in this game and talked with the
guys afterwards.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
Any Schrop, Jordan Gross, Luke Kickley with Panthers linebacker Bam
Martin Scott. We hear next man up. When Claude Cheryliss
went down. What went through your head?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Just being ready with my number car just knowing my schemes,
knowing my technique, and just standing tuoting myself in the moment.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
What did it mean to kind of get this extended
opportunity on Monday night football with the world watching.
Speaker 7 (23:06):
Yeah, it meant everything, just playing for my team, just
the love of my teammates, you know, and then also
just planning for that name on the back of my jersey.
So it meant a lot to me.
Speaker 8 (23:14):
Bamn, How quick did it go from Okay, I'm the
guy in It's Monday Night Football, Christian McCaffrey's across the
ball from me to just playing football And I really
thought you did a great job with that, some great
tackles and looking like a veteran out there playing in
a big stage.
Speaker 7 (23:28):
Yeah, it went real fast for me, just like watching
those guys growing up and just seeing it, but just
knowing that I'm a player now, so I can't be
too much in the moment of that.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Absolutely right, You're you're one of those guys now too.
You always gotta keep that in your mind. But just
kind of just kind of talk about your prep this
week going into this game. What does that look like
for you being a guy that doesn't get a ton
of reps at practice with those older guys being in
there and then having your name called to go out
there and play a substantial amount of time like you
did tonight.
Speaker 7 (23:58):
Yeah, just going to a lot of preparation with my
assistant coach, Coach Mayor, just coming in early in the morning,
going over to practice prepping, just knowing the plays and
understanding my assignments and just being ready with my name
claud really Yeah, it.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Looked like you played fast the little TfL and Christian
on that zone play. What'd you see on that one?
Speaker 7 (24:17):
Yeah, I just seen a whole open up play. Well,
I've seen get ball. There we go.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
I like it.
Speaker 7 (24:23):
Thanks for joining us, Yeah, thank y'all.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
I appreciate it all right. So that is bam.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Martin Scott, he had six tackles. Chris Barnes was brought
in off the practice squad as a starter. He had
ten tackles and again he left later in the game.
Uh in concussion protocol. Treyvon Merrick had eight tackles. Nick
Scott had eight, Ashaan Robinson had seven.
Speaker 5 (24:42):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Claude Cherlis had four who was at a starter, and
again he left the game early on too. But man,
that I felt bad for Jero Overa was like he
I think he was goingt to start recruiting from the
offensive side to finish the game.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
I have enough defensive play, I thought so too.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
I was like, man, do we have enough like secondary guys,
because then when you get secondary guys that are hurt
in the game and you have to go ahead and
replace a JC. You got to replace a Thornton, you
got you gotta move Smith Wade, you gotta go ahead
and put in maybe a linebacker in in the position
in a nickel sometimes we call that penny. And so
(25:14):
from that standpoint, you have to change up your packages
a lot. And so this was a game for a
war of attrition. If you if you will on the
defensive side, and coach Gerrod, I'll tell you what I
felt for you, because you've got a formidable opponent on
the other side. They run the ball well. You know,
they're a well coached team. And the bread and butter
(25:37):
guy is Christian McCaffrey. Seven hundred yard plus rods yards
are rushing to that point of receiving, seven hundred plus
yards receiving to that point. He's just that guy. And
now I gotta face that guy. And I'm not at
full strength. But you played a hand that you're deal't
so I thought that they did well defensively, and but
(25:58):
I'm gonna put it on the offense. If I can
put it on, put something, it gotta go in the office.
You got to go ahead and alleviate the pressure that
the defense is feeling because of that war of attrition.
Guys are going out the game and you got to
control the ball, and you got to put points on
there when you have the opportunity, and you had plenty
of opportunity to put points on the board.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Only two hundred and thirty yards of offense in the
game for Carolina. We'll hear from coach Dave Canalis. We'll
hear from Jordan Gross and Luke Kickley with a niche
and get their final thoughts as we continue through the
postgame show. Niners win over the Panthers by a score
of twenty to nine.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Back to the Panthers postgame Show, live from Bank of
America Citium, exclusively on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Forty nine.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Ers win over the Panthers in Santa Clara by a
score of twenty to nine.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
They improved to eight and four.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Panthers record now at six and six, two hundred and
thirty yards of offense for Carolina, three forty for San Francisco.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Let's hear from the coach, Dave Canalys with the guys
in the bo we're.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
Joined by Panthers head coach Dave Canallis. Dave, the first half,
did you walk away kind of like we did, thinking, hey,
there were some opportunities here that it just didn't manifest.
Speaker 9 (27:12):
Absolutely, that was the story of the day, was missed opportunities.
And anytime you get three three interceptions off of a group,
you know, we expect to score points on those. We
expect to come away with some success there and flip
the probabilities and the chances of us winning the game.
And we left it out there, you know, and through
an interception and and didn't come away with points you know,
(27:33):
on on those drives. So we have to make sure
we capitalize. And it really just comes down to the
fundamental basics that we talk about, coach.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
One of the things is Jordan here before the game,
I said, man, we got to really protect Bryce Young.
He's got the banged up ankle. At such a great
job last week throwing the ball, and I thought, for
the most part, the old line just did an awesome
job today against four or five man rushes. What your
thoughts after their performance tonight?
Speaker 9 (27:56):
Yeah, I agree. This group came together, they had a
plan for the different pressures and and rush packages that
they were going to give us, and you know, we
just it came down to some one on one opportunities
that we weren't able to make, you know, and you
know you're in those third down situations, and we didn't
come away with, you know, being able to get a
new set of downs, to get deeper and deeper into
our play play action passes, get back to.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
The run game.
Speaker 9 (28:17):
And next thing, you know, we look up and we
got to go and we got to put the ball
down the field.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Coach Luke here, you know, obviously with the injuries to
Christian rose Boom and Trevin Wallace, Clauden goes down today.
Just talk about Bam Martin Scott stepping up. I feel
like he was productive, six tackles, big TfL against Christian
McCaffrey and just good effort to the ball.
Speaker 9 (28:35):
Absolutely a tribute to his hard work and you know,
just being ready, being ready to go and paying attention
to the meetings. And while he may not get all
those reps, you know, we expect those guys to be
ready when we call on them. And so it's a
it's going to be a short week, and we got
we had some injuries and some spots. So we got
some guys that are going to be able to step
up and have an opportunity to help their team.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Great, thanks, coach, coach, appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (28:54):
We'll talk to you tomorrow, all right.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Thanks guys.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Tough week because of that, you have to travel back
from Sam Franz and get back, you know, overnight into Tuesday,
Thanksgiving Thursday. It's a work week, we know that, but
it's going to be again. You want to get guys
out quickly. Usually usually do something early and get them out.
And then you've got the La Rams coming in on Sunday,
which is a hot team, and you've got a bunch
of injuries out of this one. It's kind of a
(29:18):
lot going on at the same time. Where you've got
the flight, you've got the injuries, you've got a holiday.
The only thing working for you that is that it's
a home game coming up on Sunday. But other than that,
I mean, and then the Rams have to come in
from their.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
West coast to do this one. It's not setting up
real well.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Put it that way, and then here's it. You have
to watch the film. This is the one that you
really have to go over the film because there's so
many places that you have to correct. You know, there's
injuries that you have to go ahead and look at
different personnel playing this. So you have to teach that,
and then you have to look at those missed opportunities.
And here it is. I mean, Coach was saying and
(29:53):
I thought, what I'm hearing them say is that, look,
we've missed the opportunities on office and go ahead and
keep ourselves in the game. And I'm saying that's man, Well,
if if the line protected you, as Jordan and Coach
agree that the line did a great job of protection,
it falls on your quarterback here to go ahead and
(30:15):
get the rock out and and to make those plays.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
And so this is what.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Comes with the accolades and the applause that you receive
last week.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Bryce, this is what comes with it.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
It's the learning process that you got to also take
that which you got today. You have to take them
both because that makes you a better player. That makes
you You never play as good as you think you played,
and you never play as bad as you think you played,
you're somewhere in between. And but you got to take
both with uh. You know, when you have when you
(30:48):
have that type of criticism, that's that's gonna come, and
I'm gonna encourage you take it. Take that criticism that's
gonna come about what you did in this game and
not advanced in your efforts to go ahead in avast
the team where you had an opportunity to do so.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
And again, if it wasn't working successfully there the running backs,
you'll get them to move that pressure point off if
it's just not happening in a big way in this game.
His numbers were very comparable to brock Perty, and Perty
had three interceptions.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Bryce ends up with two. They both had a touchdown.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Party throws for one ninety three, Bryce throws for one
sixty nine. Quarterback ratings are both right around sixty. So
I mean it was kind of a wash, is what
I'm saying. At the quarterback position. The difference was the
running game. The running game. It wasn't so much that
they were successful in a big way because Miccaffery is
only three point seven per Kerry. It was just again
the running backs. Nine rushing attempts, they're running backs. Total
(31:43):
attempts were at thirty two compared to nine. So again, yes,
they played with a lead, but for most of the
game it was a one possession lead. It wasn't like
a game where you would like come off of it
because you had to start throwing for a reason.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
And if there is a criticism, k I can you
know maybe launch at the defense, is that the edges
weren't taken care of. I mean, they've been able to
run stretch, They've been able to run some toss sweeps
and get on the outside, and when they got on
the outside, they were able to do some damage.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
And when we.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Didn't keep our edges and force the ball back into
our inside help like that tackle for the loss that
that Bam had on on We'll said when we didn't
do that, they were successful. So they were successful running
the ball and running the ball and getting to the outside.
And because of that, you know, I thought that was
the only criticism I could really launch at the defense
(32:39):
because like, hey, man, protect your edges, man, make sure
you force that ball back inside. And if you don't
force it back inside, you're gonna make it really difficult
for the guy on the outside to make a tackle.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
I guess a Christian McCaffrey.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
It ain't easy or Jenning's it ain't easy. It's not
easy to make those tackles on the outside, so you
need to force it back to yell. We didn't do that.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
When we come back here from as you mentioned, Jordan
Gross in the booth tonight with Luke and Aniche get
their final thoughts. That's coming up next again. The final
score twenty to nine, nine Ers win over the Panthers.
This is the Carolina Panthers Radio Network. Panthers come up
short on Monday Night Football lose at San Francisco by
(33:20):
a score of twenty to nine. Belk a proud partner
of the Carolina Panthers and your hometown favored in the
Fashion Game since eighteen eighty eight. The holiday season is
here and Bel's got great deals on gifts, at hosting
essentials and party outfits and so much more. Belk in
the game since eighteen eighty eight. Let's go back out
to Santa Clara now and the final thoughts from the
guys in the.
Speaker 6 (33:40):
Booth, Any Shroff, Jordan Gross, Luke Kickley. Final score from
Levi Stadium forty nine Ers twenty Panthers nine. And the
hard part of digesting this one, Luke was there were
opportunities in the first half where the Panthers didn't capitalize
on San Francisco mistakes, and then there were just ill
(34:00):
timed mistakes by the Panthers. And this is a good team,
it's a veteran team, it's a team that's played on
the big stage before. You only get so many mulligans.
And the forty nine ers from a game plan standpoint,
they shortened the game with some long drives. They controlled
the clock, They kept the Panthers offense off the field
for most of the first half. Carolina only ran nineteen
(34:23):
plays in the opening half, and by the time the
Panthers offense could find any sort of rhythm, they ran
out of time.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
Yeah, and exactly that. And you know the two turnovers,
you know obviously the one the first and first and
goal for the one and a half two yard line.
We throw an interception that's points off the board. And
then then the second turnover, we're again going down the
field to score again and again throw another interception. It's
just it's so difficult because I feel like we win
(34:53):
a big game like that last week against Atlanta, Brice
played as well, the offense is humming, and then we
come out this week and we're just we weren't able
to get the same thing going. It's it's difficult, and
I think that's kind of been the tail of the
season for us, is which team, which team are we
gonna get? And yeah, I know we've dealt with some injuries,
had a lot of guys banged up, both on the
offensive line and on defense, but we just would like
(35:15):
I just I just was hoping for so much more,
an opportunity last night or tonight, after Tampa last loss
last night, to take control this division, and we just
weren't quite able to get it done to I think,
just too many mistakes and we weren't able to capitalize
on the plays that we were able to make on defense.
Speaker 5 (35:34):
We're looking at each other like.
Speaker 8 (35:36):
Well, what do you think the stat I'm looking at
the end of game stats here. Rico averaged six point
three yards per Carrie. Cuba averaged five point three yards
per Carrie. It was a weird game, right Like the
first half, there was no real possessions and what I
mean by that is three and outs, a short field.
First drive of the second half, we were able to
(35:56):
actually put a drive together and score. You look back
on this, if you're the line of Panthers, you might say, man,
it looks like maybe there was some more hay to
be made running that ball. Time of possession was all
out of whack. The Niners had the ball fifteen minutes
more than the Panthers did.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
We had three gifts from brock Purty in the first half.
Speaker 8 (36:15):
I mean, you got to turn that into a surplus
of points early on the road.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Championship opportunity.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
Dave Canalis said that Monday Night football, and it just
kind of whatever the word is. Didn't take advantage of
it and then have a turnover. You have a turnover,
us show you, I'll have a turnover. It just we
said it has to be a clean game. If we
play clean, we got a chance to win this team.
We didn't play clean it and this is what it
looks like. You lose by eleven on the road.
Speaker 6 (36:42):
And that's been in many ways the story of the
season for the Panthers. Luke where this is a better
team because they've been able to overcome that. At times,
they've been able to overcome mistakes, but We're now at
the juncture of the season, and certainly with the schedule
where you're playing good teams. You're playing teams have routinely
been in the playoffs that have won big games. And listen,
(37:04):
when you zoom out six and six after where this
team was the last few years, you're in a good spot.
Everything is still in front of you. It's all there,
but the growing pains seem to be a part of it.
And I think it's gonna be an imperative for the
Panthers and Dave Canals will probably say it, for them
to have a chance to make a real playoff push
(37:26):
over these next five games. Avoiding turnovers, avoiding the mistakes,
and then capitalizing on the other team's mistakes. Those are
things you gotta do well.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
I'll say this. I was talking to Dan Morgan for
the game.
Speaker 8 (37:37):
I said, Man, you're finally getting the buy in a
couple weeks and he looked at me, Bro, we need
it right. Like these guys have been playing football since
dang near July, or actually since July without that bye week.
Speaker 5 (37:49):
They gotta just gut it out and get a win.
Speaker 8 (37:51):
Anise you and I were talking before the game off
the air Hey, if we win one of these next two,
we're in a good spot.
Speaker 5 (37:57):
So I'm the eternal optimist. I'm gonna focus on that week.
That'll heal a lot of wounds if you could get
a win at home.
Speaker 8 (38:03):
But it's gonna be very, very tough against a good
Rams team, and as Dan Morgan said, we're beat up
this late in the season.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
Still haven't had our buy Luke.
Speaker 6 (38:11):
What's the recipe for consistency the rest of the way.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
I think we're still trying to. I still think we're
trying to find it. But I think Jordan is one
hundred percent right, and you're one hundred percent right too.
You mentioned this as well. Turnovers have killed us. You know,
we we forced turnovers and we're not able to get
points off of it. And then we turned the ball
over in the red zone. We did it twice today
and we just can't. We can't do that. And you know,
we only ran the ball nine times a day design runs.
(38:37):
Rico had six, Jordan references, Cuba had three, and we
ran it consistently and we just it's like Jordan said,
it felt it felt weird. You know, the first drive
of the game, we go three and out, then we
get the ball on the plus sixteen yard line, throw
the pick, and then the third possession we get the
ball in the twenty and go three and out, and
then we get the ball on the plus forty after
another pick, just kick kick a field goal and then
(39:00):
three and out to end a half. So there was
there was really no rhythm on the offensive side of
the ball, and I think that kind of moved itself
into the second half. So if we can just limit turnovers,
play clean football, like Jordan referenced earlier in this game,
it gives us a chance. But I don't think we're
at the point yet with this team that we can
overcome turnovers and overcome slow starts well.
Speaker 6 (39:21):
And the challenge gets greater next Sunday when the Rams
come to town and we'll see how healthy the Panthers
are injuries to watch j C. Horn, Claude and Cherless,
Corey Thornton, and Chandler Zavala, not to mention guys like
cade May's Christian Roseboom and Trevin Wallace who were out
going into tonight's game. Final score from Santa Clara and
(39:42):
Levi Stadium forty nine Ers twenty Panthers nine, Carolina drops
to five hundred at six and six.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
All right, so they kind of reiterated some of the
things we chopped up a little bit earlier. We'll talk
more about it, look ahead to the Rams game, and
we come back next postgame show continuing with the Niners
winning over the Panthers in Santa Clair.
Speaker 5 (40:00):
There are twenty to.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Nine back to chim Silky live from the Bank of
America CITIU with the Panthers postgame show exclusively on the
Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
This Panthers season, stay ice Cold with Zippy Ice based
right here in Charlotte of the ice provider at Bank
of America Stadium, keeping her drinks in the Panthers cool
all game long. Zippy Ice keeping Carolina cool, one game
at a time. So, Eugene, the Panthers lose this game
twenty to nine, they're six and six. So even with
that loss, and every time we lose, when I feel
like the count is three, and every time we win one,
(40:35):
we feel like we're going to the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
So we have to kind of settle down. Six and six.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
We have five games to go, only a half a
game behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Baker Mayfield's dinged
up right now. We'll see if he plays this week
or not, but we'll see them twice later in the year,
So there's gonna be opportunities still for some big games.
But coming up now, probably the most talented team will
face all year next week at home the nine to
two LA Rams. And I think most everybody leaves mattch
(41:00):
Stafford to this point of the season is the MB
He's MVP. He's had ridiculous I don't know exactly where
he is. I think he's about thirty touchdowns two interceptions.
That's gonna be within one or so of being right.
As far as the touchdowns game, he's always Adams is
rejuvenated in that offense.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
Yeah, I mean, Stafford has always been a beast. I
thought when he was with Detroit he was a beast.
He's always been that guy. I mean, there's no doubt
about that. And so when we talk about, you know,
going against the nine and two Rams, we got our
work cutout for us. And here let me just say
that I think that San Francisco got away with one
because when you think about three interceptions, man.
Speaker 5 (41:40):
You should lose the game.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
You really should lose the game, and so, uh, you
know the fact that we didn't capitalize, you know, and
I get it.
Speaker 5 (41:47):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
I get it for those San Francisco fans, but you're capitalized,
So I get it.
Speaker 5 (41:52):
But it San.
Speaker 4 (41:54):
Francisco won that by the skin of their teeth, if
you if you, if you will, because they they could
have easily lost that game. And we've been talking about
the flip side brock Party. Man, what's going on with
brock Party?
Speaker 5 (42:07):
All right?
Speaker 4 (42:07):
That that would be the that would be the story.
But they didn't because we didn't capitalize. And so I
am just like Luke and just like Jordan's struggling to
find words to go ahead and make this a softer blow.
But don't make a softer blow. Look, we gotta know
what Carolina pether. The team is going to show up,
(42:28):
and right now it's so precarious and it's so you know,
duplicit that we don't know which team is going to
show up, and that has to get settled. And I
think moving forward, that's what coach has to get settled
if we're going to find ourselves in the playoffs, because
there are some winnerable games. That's that's coming up. But
(42:48):
there's some games that you can absolutely lose because when
you get down the stretch area, win in November, you
probably go to the playoffs. Don't win in November, you
probably stay home.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
That's November is or to remember and the running game
is to be remembered as well. And so says what
the coaches comments about that. As far as the details
of that with the press after the game was as well,
all right, we have to take one final time out here.
When we come back, we will pick our hardest working
player of the game and wrap things up. Panthers fall
in San fran by score of twenty to nine.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
The Panthers postgame show continues live from Bank of America
c exclusively on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
All Right, final segment as Panthers lose by a score
of twenty to nine to the San Francisco forty nine ers.
Before we get to it, let's pause ten seconds for
Station ID on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 5 (43:41):
All right.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Thanks to our crew, Harold Hamrick, our technical director, Jason Hutchinson,
our game set engineer, Wendel Black, David Eads, Matt Hogan,
our studio engineers, Ben Blevins, Jerry daud Our, network engineers,
Vin Putman, studio producer Amy Martin, broadcast manager Eric Fhidlman,
affiliates manager Sharon Forzan.
Speaker 5 (43:57):
On the sidelines, Bernie Bowles.
Speaker 2 (43:58):
And Braxton Miller, along with the with LinkedIn our executive producer,
bring us to our hardest working player of the game,
presented by Sun Belt Reynolds, the official rental equipment partner
of the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 5 (44:08):
Who do we like?
Speaker 4 (44:09):
I'm going with jac Holn And I know he got
knocked out of the game this and that, but the
two interceptions he got was extremely impressive and we're looking at,
you know, making an impact. He has five interceptions on
the year right now. I mean he's playing extremely well,
but those two were extremely meaningful and of the way
he got them. I'm going with my man, Jac.
Speaker 5 (44:29):
I can't come up with anything on offense.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
I'm going to give a shout out just because you
got jac Chris Barnes off the practice squad and had
ten tackles also didn't finish the game and still had
double digit tackles out there. Asked a lot because of
the injuries that happened inside. Then he was playing some
outside linebacker on top of that before he left the game.
So a couple of guys who put him work on
the defensive side again holding the Niners to twenty points.
Speaker 5 (44:50):
Don't forget they scored forty one last.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Week against Arizona exactly, so at least the defense defense
played well as much as they were.
Speaker 5 (44:58):
A battle of attrition out there it together? So who
is it? H pick on?
Speaker 4 (45:03):
Let's go with jac. Okay, let's go with Jason.
Speaker 5 (45:04):
JC gets the plaque and the what is it like
a gold bar? What does he get?
Speaker 4 (45:09):
