Speaker 1 (00:03):
Now to Chim Sooky with the Panthers postgame show exclusively
on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Well, it was another loss, but unlike last week, the
Panthers able to claw back in make it interesting. Take
it down to the final moments of the game. Nineteen
unanswered points down the stretch run come up short though
at Arizona twenty seven twenty two, So not the result
the Panthers wanted, but at least feel like they were
able to work on some things late in the game.
(00:34):
Bryce Young, believe it or not, ends up with three
hundred and twenty eight yards passing three touchdowns, couldn't get
those two point conversions, somehow came up with an on
side kick recovery, which is very rare in the well
to get one of those there and almost shocked the
Arizona Cardinals, but doomed by Eugene obviously the slow start
and digging out of that that monstrous holding come out.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Of You know, when you start the game with a
fumble four testout and then you have interceptions and they
get three points off that, there's ten points. You're down mentally,
you're down emotionally, and you're trying to go ahead and find.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Something to hold on to.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Digging that hole in the first first quarter, that's that's
very tough. Yeah, and that's what you have with somewhat
of an inexperienced team. You know, you see yourself digging
that hole. And then what I wanted to see is
I wanted to see that that offensive line protect the
quarterback better. I mean, I know, yes, Bryce fumbled the
(01:32):
ball and it was an interception, but my goodness, he
was harassed and then he was harassed towards the end
of the game by Calais Campbell. I mean, so when
when we look at the officeive line, officsive line, I
thought needed to step up to go ahead and protect
Bryce just a little bit better than what they did,
because the fumble and interception is not all him is like,
(01:54):
is everybody everybody got.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
To get to take take a little blame on that.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
One and Mike Bryce only ran the ball twice for
two yards the whole game. So did you think maybe
there's some opportunities where when the pocket was breaking down,
he might be able to get out and do something
with his feet.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
I think, especially when you look at kind of how
the pocket was breaking up, I think a design quarterback
draw might have been you might have been loved it,
you know, might have been.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Something I would have liked to have seen.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
I think, I know when we looked at it, and
you know, on some of the replays we saw, they
looked like there was some opportunities for that.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
So yeah, I think that would have been.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
You know, it's easy for us to say in the moment, right,
but I think that would have been.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
It could have been a difference.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Making what I thought also too, because when in that
last series where everybody's hanging on by their breath whatnot,
they backed up in the zone and it got some
depth to protect against fifteen twenty yards.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I'm like, dude, run.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
It, run the ball, baby, go ahead, or hit him
with the draw, or hit him with the screen release
all the receivers, hit him with a screen, keep jumping
at the fake block, and then hit him with a screen,
because those yards would be that's hiding yard is right there,
as opposed to trying to go for the gust. So
picking up a third and fifteen or you know, or
(03:06):
whatever it was of twenty.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
One unplus and then you also make the you have
to force the Cardinals to make an adjustment. There because
then maybe maybe they're not pinning their ears back and
coming at you like they basically did. Yeah, and of
course they're like seven penalties in that last.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Every play had a penalty play, and it was going
back and forth between the two teams as to who
was getting them.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
So, you know, they thought with the four men rush
that they are good. We'll drop seven and we'll have
a four man rush and we'll and we're good enough
to go ahead and make the tackle before you get
the first out.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
That's what they were thinking.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
And I'm like, if they're gonna go ho to four
man rush, you hit them with a screen, that screen
the tuba or Dowdle, whoever that may be. And then
now you got a couple of you got receivers down
the field, and you got a couple of linemen running
at you to block. I say, with a tubo and
a dowdle running a rock, I think they pick up
more than just a five yard deal.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
That becomes a big play.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
All right, we'll take a break here. When we come back,
we'll look at the box score. We'll have some of
the highlights. Of course, we'll be hearing from head coach
Dave canal some of these players from the game today.
Belk is a proud partner of the Carolina Panthers, your
hometown favored in the Fashion Game since eighteen eighty eight.
At Belk, you can score a game day gear from
over one hundred teams shot brands like Adidas, Nike, under
Armour bring home the win with big deals and exclusive
(04:18):
coupon's Belk in the game since eighteen eighty eight. Twenty
seven to twenty two. Panthers fall at Arizona next week
the home opener versus Atlanta. You're listening on the Carolina
Panthers Radio network. Panthers scored the final nineteen points of
the game, but come up short after falling behind by
score of twenty seven to three. They make it interesting,
(04:40):
but not interesting enough to get the win. Twenty seven
to twenty two. As Bryce Shong, Let's talk about his
kind of comeback here in this game, because he looked
like a guy that almost looked like the guy that
have benched at the beginning of last year for a
good part of the game, Egene, but then we get
into the second half, into the third quarter, he ends
up throwing three touchdown passes. Two of those to Hunter
renfro One to choob A Hubbard, who was under a
(05:02):
lot of pressure throughout the game. Two things. One obviously
the moxie that he did some good things there. Uh,
But second, lead did did he do all the things
that were needed? Maybe with his feets instead of running backwards,
I could have rolled rolled laterally some things that made
it more manageable to maybe convert out of what was
a tough situation with the pressure.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
You know, and here it is.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I was hoping that they would roll the quarterback out
a little bit to get him out of the pockets.
A little bit more movement, whether that's a bootleg, whether
that's a dash, whether that's a sprint draw, just some
type of movement to get him out where I think
he could be a little bit more effective and use
his feet.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I thought he was a little bit more stagnant that
last drive with all the penalties were happening. But I'm like, dude,
I kept I kept yelling running the ball, Just go
ahead and run, Bruce. You're too They're worried about trying
to protect the game and protect deep. There's so many,
so much hitting yards that's right in front of you.
Go ahead, and take advantage of that hitting yard is
(05:59):
because that trying to protect deep to make sure that
they don't lose a game where they lost the game
last year and in overtime. So from that standpoint, I
thought there was some misopportunities.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
And yes, Bryce did play well for the stat wise,
but if I think if you ask Bryce, I think
there's gonna be some misopportunities there. And also I think
the relationship to what Bryce and Team Mac is having
h there is some synergy that's going on.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Because I'm throwing the ball to T Mac.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I'm telling you right now that Young Mac and he
gets a rock and he is a game changer, a
difference maker. Every time he gets the rock, he's a
difference maker. And then when you get to take the
ball away from him, it's because you have to make
a good play to get the ball out of his hands.
So I like what I see and Hunter Rifrow got
to eat a little bit. But I like the relationship
(06:52):
that's happening, and I want to I want coach to
exploit that a little bit more. How can you exploit
that more on first and third down with T Mac
and Bruce.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Young and if they're gonna double team emember if he's
jammed up. You know, we do, like you said, I
mean renfro was there, Sanders, uh uh.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yeah, absolutely. I mean this there's some guys who were there.
And I thought that Sanders. I thought he played extremely well.
He played extremely well. I mean, there was a lot
of some good stuff that was happening. Here's a great
thing about what we saw today. The Panthers didn't give
up when when they had a chance to go ahead,
and old woe was me earlier in the first quarter,
(07:32):
second quarter, and he saw that. Man that you know,
the Cardinals are just kind of dominant today. They could
have easily given up, but that was not the That
was not the case at all. They played to the
end some hardball and who would have thought it had
a chance to go ahead and win the game.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I mean, who would have thought that they would have
the game? There's no way. I'm like, oh man, this
game is over.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
No.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
If the game was not over and they had a
chance to win the game, and I thought that if
they would have just hit on a couple of plays
earlier with Bryce, not with his arm, but with his feet,
I think it'd be a different thing.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
And I think the other thing that's important too is
you know, when in this situation, you don't want to
have the situation where you play well in the first
half and then the second half as a dud. You know,
now you can kind of wipe out that first half
and say the second half is probably more who we
are and that's something that hopefully they can build on
when they come home here against Atlanta next week.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Well, absolutely, they can definitely build upon this because if
you were to take a snapshot of that game, you
there was nothing that was redeeming. Earlier in that game,
you go, in, my goodness, you know, here we go again,
that type of thing. But when you take the second
half of this game, you go, hey, watch out, we
you know what, we got some life, when we got something,
we have something here too. And I mean I thought
(08:48):
Kyler Murray, I thought he played extremely well, and I
thought we still did not give up even on the Kyler.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Murray when he was running and beating us with his feet.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
So there was a lot of things that you can
take Coach Canalis, you can take away from this game.
I'm going, hey, uh, that was pretty good, but make
no mistake about it, and let me just say this.
You still didn't win, right, And this game and our
business is all about winning. It's all about winning. And
Coach Knox used to say say it all the time.
Win it creates a climate with great things happen. And
(09:16):
when you lose this nothing there for no one there,
nothing there, nothing looks good. You could tell me that
this guy had a great game. He doesn't even care.
Nothing looks good.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
All right. A couple of highlights we'll listen back to here.
We mentioned at the start of the game, first drive disaster.
This guy set the tone for the first half, and
it was Bryce Young bumbling the ball here and Arizona
scores on the Panthers first possession to make it seven nothing.
Speaker 8 (09:44):
Sanders the tight ends split out for the left. Yonge
is in the gun. The up back is Rico Dwell
here on third and seven from the thirty.
Speaker 9 (09:53):
Here's the snap.
Speaker 8 (09:53):
Here's the pressure Young chase that he is all comes out.
It's still loose, rolling inside the five, picked up by
Arizona in the end zone for a touchdown.
Speaker 9 (10:05):
A disastrous start for the Panthers.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
No doubt about that. And then Bryce Young would also
throw an interception early in the game as well, those
were his two giveaways early in the game, and then
it was one of the better plays of the game
and part of the one hundred yards receiving by Tetoroa McMillan.
Forty of them come on this pass play in the
first quarter.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Second down at eight four, man rush Young in the pocket,
steps up, fires over the middle. He's got mcmilli's forty
five Arizona off to the races deathfield inside the thirty five,
inside the thirty and finally brought down at.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
The twenty two yard line of.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
Arizona, biggest reception of Teo McMillan's young career.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
And the Panthers would go into the halftime locker room.
Now twenty to three would grow to twenty seven to
three in the third quarter, but then the comeback begins
and two touchdown passes in the into half. Both of
these two Hunter renfro.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
To fifteen to go with a third rice again in
the god takes the snap looking right, rolling to his right,
throws right corner of the end zone, touchdown catch by
Hunter renfro.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Chuba Hubbard with a touchdown reception. As well as the
three touchdown passes in the second half of Bryce Young,
Panthers do recover an onside kick, get the ball back
one more time, but unable to get over the top
and make it all the way back. That touchdown by
renfro the Whataburger, What a moment of the game, grilling
delicious food for seventy five years. What a burger just
like you like it. When we come back, we'll talk
(11:41):
some more, little at more of the stats from this game.
We'll hear from head coach Dave Canalis, We'll hear from
the guys in the booth as well as the Panthers
come up a little bit short though, as it turns
out in Arizona twenty seven to twenty two.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
To the final score, He's called tenders. Postap show line
from the Bank of America Citio.
Speaker 8 (11:57):
Z three give straight up the Middle, touchdown, touchdown.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Carolina Reaction and analysis to today's game with special guests,
highlights and updates from around the league.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Complete touchdown, right side makes to catch touchdown.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Third Now to Jim zok with the Panthers postgame show
exclusively on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
And with Jim Zochi, I Am Mike Pachico, Eugene Robinson,
alongside Panthers falling today in Arizona twenty seven to twenty two.
This drive around the League brought to you by the
Honda Dealers of the Carolinas. So two other late games today.
Indianapolis wins to hang on to beat Denver at home
twenty nine to twenty eight. Daniel Jones twenty two, twenty
three or thirty four in that game, three hundred and
(12:45):
sixteen yards. He's now two to zero as quarterback for
the Indianapolis Colt.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Charlotte and Danny dimes.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
That's right, okay, all right.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
Throwing some dimes.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
He also had one hundred and sixty five yards on
the ground from Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
So I think that it helps help.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
That helps out big time.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
I guess the Game of the Century Philadelphia at Kansas
City rematch of the Super Bowl. The Eagles hang on
to win that game by three, twenty to seventeen. Taikwon
Barkley had eighty eight yards on the ground. Jalen Hurts
was fifteen of twenty two with one hundred and one yards,
no touchdowns and no interceptions. Some of the games from
earlier today, Baltimore beats up on Cleveland forty one to seventeen.
(13:23):
Lamar Jackson threw for two hundred and twenty five yards four touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Wow in that game jocking for Lamar.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Jackson, Joe Fleako a touchdown and an interception. Cincinnati hangs
On beats Jacksonville thirty one to twenty seven.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Joe Berg got hurt in this game.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
So Jake Browning finishes up twenty one of thirty two
two hundred and forty one yards. He had two touchdowns,
three interceptions. Trevor Lawrence had three touchdowns two interceptions for Jacksonville,
but they lose the game. Dallas gets a field goal
by Brandon Aubrey late he got They actually got a
late field goal to tie the game time expiring, and
then the that was for sixty four yards and then
(13:57):
the forty six yard game winner in overtime. So the
Giants forty thirty seven winners in overtime at eighteen and
T Stadium, Detroit just beat the doors off Chicago fifty
two to twenty one.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Jared Jared five touchdowns.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Dide they brook them off something proper too, dude.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
New England goes into my normally a house of horrors
for New England hard rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. But
Drake May leads the Patriots to victory thirty three twenty seven,
two hundred and thirty yards in the air, two touchdowns
for the Myers Park graduate.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Ynh Drake Major's suned out to be a good quarterback.
Huh yep?
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Solid sure is San Francisco twenty six, twenty one over
New Orleans. Matt Jones filling in for Brock Purdy twenty
six of thirty nine, had three touchdowns in that game.
Christan McCaffrey had a touchdown receiving in that game. Buffalo
beats the New York Jets thirty to ten. So another
big win for the Buffalo Bills. They proved it to
(14:52):
w and O Sattle beats Pittsburgh thirty one to seventeen.
Sam Darnold had two touchdowns in that game. In the
Rams over the Tennessee Titans thirty three nineteen Matthew Stafford
two hundred and ninety eight yards in the air for
the Rams.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
So do the Chiefs have to call the Eagles daddy?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Now? I think?
Speaker 10 (15:09):
So?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Who's your daddy? Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
My goodness, they just keep on beating them.
Speaker 9 (15:12):
I do.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
And there was a toush push score in that game
as well.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
So classic Philadelphia win. Yep, picking up where they left off.
Every thought they would drop back a little bit this year,
but out of the gate really strong for them. So
we'll see what's so today.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
We can the city's not going too by the way.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, Casey's OZ and two. And then tonight you mentioned
Atlanta playing Minnesota. Of course Atlanta will be here next week,
so we'll see how they fare against that Vikings team,
which was really sluggish last week with JJ McCarthy at quarterback,
and then he figured it out.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
In the fourth quarter last week. They'll figures they don't figured.
You've got Jon Robinson minute.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
He's going, Yes, that's gonna be tough.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
That's hard to tackle that dude.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
We got some weapons. Penis may or may not be ready,
but Bejon Robinson is the real deal, all right. Speaking
of Robinson's Mike our guy right here, Eugene, Yes, Veterans
Committee nominee for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 11 (16:05):

it really is. And and I had a great career,
and I played with some football with some great players
Ken Easley, lro Butler, playing against Ronnie Lott, Tim Brown,
(16:26):
Marcus Allen, Barry Sanders. I played against some guys who
was legend in my quarterbacks from Montana from Moon to
uh Elway. I mean, I've got to do a lot
in in football in and I'm thankful that I've been
able to have a lustrous career. So you know, thanks,
I really appreciate that.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
You and can Yeah, holl boy, man, there you go.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I want to ask you on the air, but if
you thought about, like who your presenter would be, I
think I know in my head who it might be.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
It would be my son.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, yeah, why didn'tant to say that that was y
if I I know.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
It would definitely be my son Brandon, you know, uh
he's a pastor now. And I'll tell you, I said, dude, man,
you can like preach man like you you're like you're good,
I said, you the authenticity that you have and how
that you word planning, how do you put things together?
I said, man, you're good, you know, and you know
I've always got to preach and stuff like that. But
(17:26):
I'm like, dude, he's really really good at what he's
doing and for for the Lord. So I would definitely
have him.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
All that happens.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I gets to hang out and know you podcasts busy.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Nobody knows what I'm talking about it. But I just
thought i'd just say that to your podcast Matt.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Don't do that during the ceremony.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Yeah, I'll do that.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
I think Podcast Missy thought he was.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Gonna we'll be up there watching him in cat and
we hear podcast Missy and you shout all of you
jeans little what's uh, what's what's going on? So he
took a lot of hits, all right, So we'll take
a time out here. Final score twenty seven to twenty two.
Panthers come up just a little bit short. It's Arizona
(18:08):
more coming up next on the Carolina Panthers Radio network.
Pathers fall at Arizona twenty seven twenty two after being
down twenty seven to three in the third quarter make
it interesting on a run of nineteen points, failing on
a couple of two point tries and coming up just
a little bit short in the desert, but at least
(18:30):
sowing some signs of life, especially on the offensive side
there in the second half, while the defense held their
ground also after giving up those twenty seven points through
two and a half quarters. This season, Panther fans stay
ice cold. Was Zippy ice based right here in Charlotte.
They're the ice provider at Bank of America Stadium, keeping
your drinks and the Panthers cool all game long. Zippy ice,
keeping Carolina cool one game at a time. Not cool desert.
(18:54):
I heard it was triple digits out there, but of
course you got the roof out there at Glendale. Let's
send it back out that way. Now get the final
thoughts from the guys.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
Final score from State Farm Stadium in Glendale. Cardinals twenty seven,
Panthers twenty two. And it was an odd game from
the get go and a shrof Jake Delome Jordan gross
first two drives, Carolina fumbles, Arizona recovers for a touchdown.
Bryce Young then intercepted field goal. It's ten to nothing
(19:22):
before you can really get settled in. Right before the half,
the Cardinals score ten points in the last two minutes,
twenty to three going in a halftime, and then Arizona
scores on the first possession of the third quarter. Jordan,
we're sitting here going okay, twenty seven to three, not
a lot of time left. The game seemed to be
(19:45):
shrinking for Carolina, and then we almost witnessed the greatest
comeback in franchise history. They come up short, but there
is a lot to build off of, especially from what
we saw in the second half.
Speaker 12 (19:57):
I've been very impressed by Bryce Young in that's and
a half to come back from a sack, fumble for
a touchdown, then an interception. Then you know, we talked
about clock management at the end of the first half,
just there was no juice, no momentum going into half. Tim,
I don't know what was said or what was done,
but to come out they kind of set your jaw
and lead on two fourteen play drives with your first
(20:18):
two possessions, sit in the pocket, make good decisions. I mean,
I'm very impressed with that young football player with the
second half that he had.
Speaker 8 (20:25):
Jake, Bryce in this game set career highs in completions,
attempts yards, tied his career high for touchdown passes. Teda
roll McMillan, I mean you played with Mussin Mohammad and
Steve Smith. Teda roll McMillan six catches one hundred yards,
first one hundred yard game in just his second game.
He looks like he's got a chance to be a
(20:47):
really special player for a long time.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
And it's easy.
Speaker 13 (20:52):
It's not hard, you know, like it almost looked like
it's nonchalant.
Speaker 14 (20:55):
The way he catches the ball. It's just so easy
his body control.
Speaker 13 (20:59):
But yeah, listen, at halftime, we're sitting here scratching our heads.
We give up, you know, a touchdown that really and
truly right before half. That's one we should not have
given up. It should have been a field goal attempt
and not a touchdown. But nineteen rushes, fifty five passes.
Love but Bryce did throwing it but we had to right,
that's not our correct formula.
Speaker 14 (21:18):
Hopefully all these passes you get a JT.
Speaker 13 (21:22):
Sanders. You saw him look different than he did last year.
You saw him catch the ball like we got to
build off of this. Bryceon Tremaine right, Ted McMillan. We
could talk about Hunter Renfro getting still back into the
groove of playing after being off the one disappointment, to
be honest, eight targets for Xavier, one catch minus two yards.
Speaker 14 (21:43):
There's something there's something missing there.
Speaker 13 (21:45):
I'm not exactly sure what it is, but like you
love to see him get just more, just any production.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
And Jake, if you look at his first two games,
fifteen targets, fifteen four catches for eight yards.
Speaker 12 (22:00):
And I want to know why at the end of
the game that McMillan, we didn't get the ball in
his direction on that last drive, you know, I mean,
just play design and what the defense was running. But yeah,
you just he's continually to me looked very good to
your point of niche he has got room for improvement
right there, so you establishing who he can count on
and where we're going from here. But very impressed with
(22:21):
Bryce Young. I gotta give him credit passing that whole
second half. Incredibly tough that Corbett went out and also
Robert hunt is. Now you got two linemen, backup linemen
in good players, but their backups for a reason.
Speaker 14 (22:34):
And then we have two sacks at the end of
the game.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
Yeah, Panthers had their chance.
Speaker 8 (22:39):
They score on their first two drives of the second half,
and then Kyler Murray with an ill advised interception with
Arizona inside the Panther twenty yard line. Panthers go down
the field, they score again, recover the on side kick,
and had a chance at the very end they have
(23:00):
ball plus territory. Other final drive got to the Arizona
thirty three. But the injuries to the offensive line just
that showed on that last series. Oh to two, But
it doesn't feel like oh and two did last year.
Bro Panthers touchdown they finished this game.
Speaker 14 (23:17):
No, there's no doubt.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
But think about it.
Speaker 13 (23:18):
Let's go back to Week two last year at home
against the Chargers, and what are we saying right now?
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Who is this quarterback?
Speaker 13 (23:24):
He can't he can't complete a swing route, and then
we're watching him today setting records for completions, attempts, yards,
and tying touchdown.
Speaker 14 (23:33):
Just think about what a year does, right.
Speaker 13 (23:35):
So we're gonna go back home, We're going to not
anywhere near where we thought we were, and we're gonna
go back to.
Speaker 14 (23:40):
A crowd that Hey, they won.
Speaker 9 (23:43):
Twenty one and with fifty eight second touchdown.
Speaker 13 (23:47):
Catch showed up maybe his first sack he if he
was there in other areas too. I thought Nathan Ranson
some of the tackles he made today. Ted McMillan, But again,
Derrek Brown, I can't say enough about him. The stat
sheet won't show it, but the holding calls that he
forced Arizona, they would they couldn't block him, you know.
I thought Pat Jones dj Wanham had some good plays today.
(24:10):
But we did a good job defensively short up the
run game compared to what we saw last week. I
will say that we got to carry that over when
we go back home Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Right, they're gonna have a short eye.
Speaker 14 (24:21):
They played tomorrow night if I'm correct.
Speaker 13 (24:24):
No, I'm sorry, they played tonight on the road in Minnesota,
So that's gonna be they're gonna be late getting back
and they're coming home hopefully they're Oh and two, we
get a good crowd and we just build off we
we have to build find something to build off of
in the second half this and never say the.
Speaker 12 (24:40):
Attitude and you wouldn't say necessarily it's a must win game,
but oh and oh and three home opener, it's a
must win game and the familiar opponent.
Speaker 14 (24:51):
Should be a good crowd.
Speaker 12 (24:53):
Uh again, I just I got there's been criticism at
times with Bryce Young and his young career, but man,
I'm impressed with what he did in this second. I
mean just the way he was able to stay in
that pocket and makes him throws.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
A good day by him.
Speaker 8 (25:04):
You know, last week we saw this team move the
ball against Jacksonville. They just couldn't finish drives for whatever reason. Penalties, turnovers.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
Early in this.
Speaker 8 (25:15):
Game, they had instances where they were moving the ball,
couldn't finish drives. Second half, three of the last four
possessions for Carolina touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, and then you know
the turnover on downs at the end when they got
into Arizona.
Speaker 9 (25:29):
Territory off the on side kick. Valiant effort.
Speaker 8 (25:33):
Certainly something to build on and evidence that this is
an improved team, and hopefully the version we saw in
the second half is one that shows up the rest
of the way.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yeah, we want fourth quarter Bryce for next week against Atlanta.
All r guys, we take a time out here, we'll
chop it up a little bit more. We'll be hearing
from coach Canalis in the next segment, and then I
think we've got some player interviews coming up after that.
Before we go to break, though, let's pause ten seconds
Station ID on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network. All right,
mar In the postgame show coming up next as we continue,
(26:06):
and we'll hear from coach Dave Canalis. Final score from
Arizona twenty seven to twenty two.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Back to the Panthers postgame show line from Bank of
America CIA, exclusively on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Arizona holds off the Panthers late rally twenty seven to
twenty two. The final score injury updates are brought to
you by AHRIM Health doing more to keep you moving, achieving,
striving at every agent stage so you can live fully.
And two along the offensive line for the Panthers injury wise,
Robert Hunt with a bicep injury in Austin Corbett with
a knee injury. Both were listed as questionable at the
end of the game's send it back to Arizona. Here
(26:45):
from the head coach Dave Canallis.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
We're joined by Panthers head coach Dave Canallas tail of
two halves. Coach, what encouraged you the most about the
way your team battled back in that second half.
Speaker 15 (26:59):
Just the identity and finish of this group. That's something
that we pride ourselves on. But we got to figure
out the start. I take full responsibility. I got to
make sure that I have our guys mentally ready to
go from snap one and to be able to play together,
to play team football, complimentary football that.
Speaker 9 (27:17):
We're looking for. But the finish of it, the way.
Speaker 15 (27:21):
That guys just continued to execute, regardless of what the
score was, is what gave us a chance. And that'll
always be true. But we got to clean up the
early mistakes.
Speaker 13 (27:28):
Hey, coach is Jake, Yeah, listen, I think you hit
it on the head. You know, the start, we put
ourselves in a position and then right before half giving.
Speaker 14 (27:36):
Up the touchdown instead of the field goal.
Speaker 13 (27:37):
But to be able to come back in the second
half fifty five passes. I know that's not our formula,
but just we go back a year ago, Bryce Week two.
The performance Bryce Week two this year pretty remarkable. The
resilience he showed in the second half absolutely.
Speaker 15 (27:52):
Speaks to his leadership resilience. He'll be the first one
to be up here and tell you he would love
to eliminate those early mistakes. But you look at his eyes,
he just keeps working and he just keeps battling and attacking,
and so I have to just like give Bryce a
lot of love and commend him for doing that. But collectively,
as a group, you know, we have to play better
(28:13):
early on.
Speaker 12 (28:14):
Coach Jordan Gross, here, can you share what your message
was at halftime? It was just I was so impressed
with how the team came out after that break down
twenty to three, to have the resilience and to be
able to go on those long drives offensively get some
good stands on defense?
Speaker 9 (28:26):
What was your message?
Speaker 15 (28:28):
Our definition of finish do write longer, Do write longer
and see what happens. And the defense did right and
the defense put us in position to be able to
be successful with a three and out with the turnover
and then an on side skick. You know, while you
know we always talk about you don't pass judgment on
the outcome of the game based on what happens early on.
You could be up, you could be down. You just
keep playing football. We have to have that kind of
(28:50):
toughness and mentality to be able to continue to execute
because you never know what could happen if you believe
and if you just keep going back to work.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Coach the rookies, Tedo McMillan one hundred yards in his
second game and Princely getting his first sack. You said
you wanted to see more of the young guys. What
did you think from some of those rookie performances today?
Speaker 15 (29:11):
Yeah, just great opportunities for them to show how they
can help the team. And I think if you ask them,
Manda Man, they just want to find a way to help,
you know. And however we can do that. Whatever we
can look forward to do. You know, we'll fight and
scratch and again, like with the coaching staff or evaluating
this thing weekly to see who can help us. So
I was glad to see some guys show.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
Up today before we let you go. How can you
build off of the finish to go into the home opener?
Speaker 15 (29:35):
Yeah, I mean, just you know, the message to the team.
We should be sick right now because we see what
we can be when we are executing, when we are
playing assignment football and we're playing the fundamentals of ball.
We see what we can be. But can we be
that consistently? And that's what we're headed for, and that's
what we're getting back to work for this week.
Speaker 9 (29:53):
All right, coach, thank you, Okay, thanks guys.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
It's I mean, they're down twenty seven to three. That's
I don't know what the I'm sure they still do.
The little ESPN win percentage rate was one percent. Probab
you're less than one percent. So the fact that they
got the on side kick, Mike and had a chance
to even like have an opportunity to have the ball
in their hands on the other side of the field
says a lot. But you're working against really steep odds
(30:17):
the whole way when you fall behind that big bat
early in the.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
Game, and that was the first on side kick. We're
covered by the Panthers since I think December one of
twenty nineteen. Of course, we've had the new dynamic kickoff rules,
so that makes it even harder. I mean before you
had maybe a punter's kickers chance, I guess, right, But
now you have to alert the other team that you're
doing an onside kick, so the element of surprise goes away.
(30:39):
So that completely changes. But it was interesting and I thought,
you know, Sam Martin did a great job because it
the the lineman on the front there was going up
to block and it actually he didn't see the ball
and it bounced off from the pants as were able
to pounce on it.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yeah, what kind of funny watch that guy run with
the ball hitting him the side exactly. Isn't the ball
the whole thing at that point, right?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
But what they're told to do is, I need you
to block the ext number guy who in the L
five with R five, R four, R three, whatever, whatever
that number is. I need you to block that person
because I got my best receiver back here with better
hands and he's gonna handle the ball. So you just
do your thing of blocking. And that's why the kickers
of punters, kickers they try to hit the they try
(31:23):
to hit the lineman in front, hit the wickets, Yeah,
because they know that their job is they're gonna go
block and they're not necessarily trying to go and recover
the ball.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
So it was a great play, a good kick obviously
by Sam Martin, good recovery by Demoni Richardson. We'll be
hearing us some player interviews coming up. We also have
another scoreboard coming up from Mike Pachico as well. Again,
the final score twenty seven to twenty two, Arizona beating
the Panthers. On the Carolina Panthers Radio Network FAFIS Paul
(31:54):
Oh and two the comeback comes up a little bit short,
twenty seven to twenty two at Arizona. We go back
to the desert now, and you've got one of the
guys that put some pressure on Kyler Murray out there.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
With them, any sharp Jake DeLonge, Jordan Gross with Panthers
linebacker and that rusher, DJ wantam DJ?
Speaker 9 (32:12):
What changed in the second half?
Speaker 7 (32:15):
I feel like, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (32:16):
We went in, We came in to have time, and
we just kind of honed in on the little things
and the little minor things that we was messing up on.
And you know what I'm saying, the guys, we gave
a speech to come on, we gotta go out there
and lock in and the rest of his game, and
you know what I'm saying, we just we just started
to you know what I'm saying, execute better on defense?
Speaker 9 (32:31):
Who gave the speech? What was set at halftime?
Speaker 7 (32:33):
Uh? Just coach coach E defense defensive?
Speaker 10 (32:36):
We you know what I'm saying, We gotta just keep
putting together and we went out there and did it.
Speaker 14 (32:41):
Yeah, DJ is Jake.
Speaker 13 (32:42):
It seems like the urgency on defense was a lot
different than last week.
Speaker 14 (32:46):
Just the physicality that we played with. Did it?
Speaker 13 (32:48):
Was that something that was noticeable to you guys on
the field during the game.
Speaker 7 (32:52):
Uh yeah, definitely noticeable. You know what I'm saying. We
held them.
Speaker 10 (32:54):
I don't know how many rust yards they had, but
we held them to a little mount of rush yards.
And that's just going in on the the things that
we picked up and we learned from last week. It
gets to Jaguars, you know what I'm saying. So you
know what I'm saying, this is not this, This is
just the beginning. What I'm saying, We're gonna continue to
get better. And I got a lot of faith in
this defense, this team. We're just gonna keep going, keep
getting keep getting better, keep gelling and the Skuys in
(33:15):
limbing for us.
Speaker 12 (33:16):
DJ Jordan Gross here, what's what's the mindset now going
into the home opener next week? Get in front of
our home fans, you know, the week of practice, all
that as we lead up to this game next week.
Speaker 7 (33:25):
Yeah, we're gonna We're gonna watch the tape with such
the tape.
Speaker 10 (33:27):
You know what I'm saying, look at the different things
that you know what I'm saying, that we could have
done better, and we're just gonna gotta start faster. You
know what I'm saying, We gotta start faster. We put
ourselves in bad positions. His last game against the team
that you know what I'm saying, we definitely should have
came out on top of. But know what I'm saying,
we just gotta start faster. And it's a great feeling,
you know what I'm saying, going back home and being
able to do it in front of our fans.
Speaker 9 (33:46):
DJ appreciate the top. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yep, all right, so DJ want them there. Eugene and uh,
I mean you do take some building blocks, a little
bit of confidence.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
A closer game always makes you feel better than a
blowout gains but R and two. So this this game
against a really good Atlanta team at home. It's critical
now because if you go oh and three to start
your season, that's that's a tough hold.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
It's very tough hold to climb out of. And don't
forget that.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
I mean, he says something that we have to start faster,
and when he means by that not only faster, but cleaner.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
We have to be clean.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
We we can't have the turnovers or we can't have
a biggest supposed to play on defense where the guy
where it's like a you know, a deep go route
on the very first thing, and or somebody falls down
and the guy catches the ball and runs for touch.
He saying, look, we have to play clean, hard, nos
tough football to give ourselves a chance. And if when
you don't play that way and you let those things
(34:40):
creep in, like an interception or a fumble for over
or special teams play, you're behind the eight ball and
now you've got to overcome that deficit. And it's very
difficult to overcome that deficit. You always find yourself chasing,
and then coaches get out of rhythm because now they
got to go ahead and chase points. We saw that
with the you know, the trying to get the extra
(35:00):
two points, extra two points.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
You're trying to chase points.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
And you never want to chase points because now when
you're chasing points, you can't run the office or the
defense the way you.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Would like to run it.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
Yeah, and you got to put yourself in positions to succeed.
But you can't give an NFL team, you can't spot
them seven or ten points. No, and you know we've
seen you know, it's hard to come back. And you
know they were a little very fortunate. I mean that
on side kick kind of made things a lot tighter
than maybe it would have been had they.
Speaker 6 (35:29):
You know, not recovered it.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
So you got to factor that and especially the low
percentage of how that is successful.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
I thought one of the turning points of the game
was that interception by Kyler Murray. I thought when Kyler Murray,
when he threw the ball and he knew he should
have go ahead and just just take the sack. He
knew it, and he put his head down. He looked up,
He's like, that's my bad. Those are the type of
plays that teams that historically don't win make. They make
plays like that where you let another team get back
(35:56):
in the game because on paper, the Panthers should never
got back in that game at all. He just takes
the sack. Okay, they punted the ball off, and now
you got to run a go down a long road
to go ahead and make things happens.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
So that's standpoint.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
I bet you the the Cardinals are saying, man, we
we got like twelve penalties for ninety three yards. We
let these guys off the hook, yep, every single time.
Fortunately we were able, you know, Kelly's Kimbell was able
to come up with a sack to go ahead in
the game.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
But we let them off.
Speaker 6 (36:27):
The hook, especially that one on fourth down exactly.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
And you know, we're trying to you know, I'm trying
to coach from the stands here, Hey.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Run run run, run, run, run, bryce run.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
You know, And I know it's I know it's difficult
because I know he sees things that I don't see,
and I know the coaches do. But I was hoped,
shown up, hoping that they would have used their feet
a little bit and not the arm on that play,
because on those series of plays, because I thought there
was some room to be gained.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Yeah, they're taking everything downfield away from you. There's gotta
be that intermediate to think if you just run past
the defensive line, there should be some open field there
and slide and there was still time.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Yeah, it was lots of time.
Speaker 6 (37:04):
There was still time to do that.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Yeah, Yeah, it wasn't that big of a hurt.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
And then let me just say this too.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
So you suck those guys up as far as the
defency just trying to run and now they're like, oh,
we've got to be on alert, and now you're able
to slip something over the top of their head because
now somebody comes open.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Yeah, we're talking about like maybe have like a checkdown,
just having chew bud just like chip block and then
just right out front and just have that outlet out there,
because like I said, there's a big gapy tune was
going on downfield if you clear out down that way.
But Panthers made it, made it ef fort out of it,
but to come up five point short, losing twenty seven
twenty two in our game. When we come back, Michael
Love an update on the other games going on and
what's happening today in the NFL Final score from Arizona
(37:41):
Cardinals win over the Panthers twenty seven to twenty two.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Back to Chimzok live from the Bank of America Citio
with the Panthers postgame show exclusively on the Carolina Panthers
Radio Network.
Speaker 5 (37:56):
Like Jim and Eugene with you here as we move
our way through the Panthers postgame show pam was falling
on the road twenty seven to twenty two at Arizona.
Taking a look at the postgame scoreboard. Just one game
upcoming tonight, of course, and that is going to be
the Panthers next opponent, and will be Atlanta's at Minnesota today,
So they'll kind of a short kind of the short field,
if you will, playing tonight and then going on the
(38:18):
road to Carolina here and then the two Monday night games.
Tampa Bay is at Houston, the Chargers are at Las Vegas.
Some of the scores from earlier today, Denver losing on
the road to Indianapolis. Daniel Jones had twenty three of
thirty four to three hundred and sixteen yards with a
touchdown as Indianapois wins twenty nine to twenty eight. Philadelphia
(38:39):
over Kansas City twenty to seventeen. Kind of a crazy
game in Dallas. They go to overtime against the Giants.
Nine hundred and eighty nine totally yards in that game
between the two teams. Wow and Brandon Aubrey had two
field goals, one late to tie it and then of
course the winner in overtime. San Francisco over New Orleans
twenty six to twenty one. New England wins in Miami
(38:59):
thirty three to twenty seven. Drake May nineteen of twenty three,
with three hundred twenty yards had two touchdowns in that game.
And then Seattle, one of Eugene's former teams, beats up
on Pittsburgh thirty one two seventeen to win for Sam Darnold.
Seattle and Pittsburgh now won and one.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
And not only on the it was on the kickoff
the Pittsburgh still a player touched the ball winning an
end zone, did not recover it, and then they went
down and recovered the ball.
Speaker 6 (39:23):
From realized that the ball was live. The ball was
a lying area and I know.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
The rule is really kind of like, it's kind of funky.
So and the retire man just thought that when it
touched him and it went into the end zone, he
thought the ball was a dead ball.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
So he just ran off the field. I'm like, oh,
there you go.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
But that rule, now he knows that rule that the
ball is a live ball.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
And you hear this.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
You posted to assume the ball is live every single
time with the own defense, offense, special team.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
You just assume is live. And if you do it,
that way. That way you.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Recover the ball. You don't give a team that shouldn't
that doesn't earn it.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
But that's gotta come up at how many meetings I know,
I mean, when you're a special team's returner it was
like an up man or whatever.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
I know exactly.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
You should know that portion of that's it.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
That's part of your job, right Your part of the
job is to know that, hey, what is illegal and
what's not illegal on these plays right here? If I
touch the ball, what happens on that you know? And
so from that standpoint you can actually I've seen some
smart returnment knowing the ball about to go out of
bounds a little bit and they get out of bounds
(40:27):
and they fill the ball down the balls out of
bobbers because they're out of bos they get it at
the forty yard line. I mean, so there's been some
really good plays, but that's something you should.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
Know as a returnment. I'm real we got one more
segment to go.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Edb molding over during this break the hardest working player
of the game, and we'll put the wraps on this
one when we come back next. Panthers fall in Arizona
twenty seven to twenty two.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
The Panthers postgame show continues live from Bank of America City,
exclusively on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
All Right, thanks to our crew Harold Hamrick and Ben Blevins,
Jason Hutchinson, Wendell Black. David eats Matt Hogan by remputment
right here, Amy Martin, Eric Fidlerman, Sharon Thorslan, and David Langton,
our executive producer. Panthers lose at Arizona twenty seven twenty two.
Got the home of Opening versus Atlanta coming up next Sunday,
and they're getting ready to play right now, Sunday Football
against the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 4 (41:22):
Time podcast Are you yeah?
Speaker 6 (41:28):
Yeah, you mentioned you said his real names come up?
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Yeah, yeah, you didn't go his name is Matt Hogan.
Speaker 11 (41:36):
No, all these years you didn't know his name was.
Speaker 4 (41:40):
I think I knew. I think I knew Matt. I
think I know his last name.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
Tonight, his name is not podcast, Missy, podcast, Missy. That
is your name for Matt Hogan, Speaking of which, he's
a candidate for the Hardest working Player of the Game.
Presented to you by sun Belt Reynolds, the official Renold
Equipment partner of the Carolina Panthers. Not a lot of
choices in this one, but got my.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Choice, what you got, I'm going Sanders. I thought that
Sanders played extremely well and he became a viable option
for Bryce down the stretch and showed up on some
big catches. So I'm like, I'm going with Sanders because
the easy one would be McMillan's. But I'm like, you
know what I think Sanders. Uh, you know a guy
that you're not expecting to go ahead and grind it out.
I thought he was grinding.
Speaker 6 (42:21):
I think Hunter Renfros in that category.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (42:25):
They had a couple of obviously a couple of touchdowns,
had some big catches in the game, and again proved
to be another good option for Bryce.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Youw And I was gonna throw in the fact that
they had the two touchdowns, seven catches forty eight yards
playing with that rib injury. How painful is that?
Speaker 10 (42:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (42:39):
My goodness, when you breathe, it just hurts, man, my goodness.
Speaker 4 (42:42):
I never liked that.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
That's why I was gonna make it my candidate as well.
So I think we overrule you. Yeah, yeah, overrule me
on that one. Yeah, I go with the hunder Riff.
We don't have a trophy anyway, so it's it's all
the same either way. All right, guys, hopefully we have
better news. I know you're not with us next week, Eugene,
but hopefully we have We had better news for the
game against Atlanta coming up next week, and we'll see
other you tonight against Minnesota. But Mike appreciate you.

Now to Chim Sooky with the Panthers postgame show exclusively
on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Well, it was another loss, but unlike last week, the
Panthers able to claw back in make it interesting. Take
it down to the final moments of the game. Nineteen
unanswered points down the stretch run come up short though
at Arizona twenty seven twenty two, So not the result
the Panthers wanted, but at least feel like they were
able to work on some things late in the game.
(00:34):
Bryce Young, believe it or not, ends up with three
hundred and twenty eight yards passing three touchdowns, couldn't get
those two point conversions, somehow came up with an on
side kick recovery, which is very rare in the well
to get one of those there and almost shocked the
Arizona Cardinals, but doomed by Eugene obviously the slow start
and digging out of that that monstrous holding come out.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Of You know, when you start the game with a
fumble four testout and then you have interceptions and they
get three points off that, there's ten points. You're down mentally,
you're down emotionally, and you're trying to go ahead and find.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Something to hold on to.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Digging that hole in the first first quarter, that's that's
very tough. Yeah, and that's what you have with somewhat
of an inexperienced team. You know, you see yourself digging
that hole. And then what I wanted to see is
I wanted to see that that offensive line protect the
quarterback better. I mean, I know, yes, Bryce fumbled the
(01:32):
ball and it was an interception, but my goodness, he
was harassed and then he was harassed towards the end
of the game by Calais Campbell. I mean, so when
when we look at the officeive line, officsive line, I
thought needed to step up to go ahead and protect
Bryce just a little bit better than what they did,
because the fumble and interception is not all him is like,
(01:54):
is everybody everybody got.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
To get to take take a little blame on that.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
One and Mike Bryce only ran the ball twice for
two yards the whole game. So did you think maybe
there's some opportunities where when the pocket was breaking down,
he might be able to get out and do something
with his feet.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
I think, especially when you look at kind of how
the pocket was breaking up, I think a design quarterback
draw might have been you might have been loved it,
you know, might have been.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Something I would have liked to have seen.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
I think, I know when we looked at it, and
you know, on some of the replays we saw, they
looked like there was some opportunities for that.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
So yeah, I think that would have been.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
You know, it's easy for us to say in the moment, right,
but I think that would have been.
Speaker 6 (02:28):
It could have been a difference.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Making what I thought also too, because when in that
last series where everybody's hanging on by their breath whatnot,
they backed up in the zone and it got some
depth to protect against fifteen twenty yards.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
I'm like, dude, run.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
It, run the ball, baby, go ahead, or hit him
with the draw, or hit him with the screen release
all the receivers, hit him with a screen, keep jumping
at the fake block, and then hit him with a screen,
because those yards would be that's hiding yard is right there,
as opposed to trying to go for the gust. So
picking up a third and fifteen or you know, or
(03:06):
whatever it was of twenty.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
One unplus and then you also make the you have
to force the Cardinals to make an adjustment. There because
then maybe maybe they're not pinning their ears back and
coming at you like they basically did. Yeah, and of
course they're like seven penalties in that last.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Every play had a penalty play, and it was going
back and forth between the two teams as to who
was getting them.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
So, you know, they thought with the four men rush
that they are good. We'll drop seven and we'll have
a four man rush and we'll and we're good enough
to go ahead and make the tackle before you get
the first out.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
That's what they were thinking.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
And I'm like, if they're gonna go ho to four
man rush, you hit them with a screen, that screen
the tuba or Dowdle, whoever that may be. And then
now you got a couple of you got receivers down
the field, and you got a couple of linemen running
at you to block. I say, with a tubo and
a dowdle running a rock, I think they pick up
more than just a five yard deal.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
That becomes a big play.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
All right, we'll take a break here. When we come back,
we'll look at the box score. We'll have some of
the highlights. Of course, we'll be hearing from head coach
Dave canal some of these players from the game today.
Belk is a proud partner of the Carolina Panthers, your
hometown favored in the Fashion Game since eighteen eighty eight.
At Belk, you can score a game day gear from
over one hundred teams shot brands like Adidas, Nike, under
Armour bring home the win with big deals and exclusive
(04:18):
coupon's Belk in the game since eighteen eighty eight. Twenty
seven to twenty two. Panthers fall at Arizona next week
the home opener versus Atlanta. You're listening on the Carolina
Panthers Radio network. Panthers scored the final nineteen points of
the game, but come up short after falling behind by
score of twenty seven to three. They make it interesting,
(04:40):
but not interesting enough to get the win. Twenty seven
to twenty two. As Bryce Shong, Let's talk about his
kind of comeback here in this game, because he looked
like a guy that almost looked like the guy that
have benched at the beginning of last year for a
good part of the game, Egene, but then we get
into the second half, into the third quarter, he ends
up throwing three touchdown passes. Two of those to Hunter
renfro One to choob A Hubbard, who was under a
(05:02):
lot of pressure throughout the game. Two things. One obviously
the moxie that he did some good things there. Uh,
But second, lead did did he do all the things
that were needed? Maybe with his feets instead of running backwards,
I could have rolled rolled laterally some things that made
it more manageable to maybe convert out of what was
a tough situation with the pressure.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
You know, and here it is.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I was hoping that they would roll the quarterback out
a little bit to get him out of the pockets.
A little bit more movement, whether that's a bootleg, whether
that's a dash, whether that's a sprint draw, just some
type of movement to get him out where I think
he could be a little bit more effective and use
his feet.
Speaker 7 (05:38):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I thought he was a little bit more stagnant that
last drive with all the penalties were happening. But I'm like, dude,
I kept I kept yelling running the ball, Just go
ahead and run, Bruce. You're too They're worried about trying
to protect the game and protect deep. There's so many,
so much hitting yards that's right in front of you.
Go ahead, and take advantage of that hitting yard is
(05:59):
because that trying to protect deep to make sure that
they don't lose a game where they lost the game
last year and in overtime. So from that standpoint, I
thought there was some misopportunities.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
And yes, Bryce did play well for the stat wise,
but if I think if you ask Bryce, I think
there's gonna be some misopportunities there. And also I think
the relationship to what Bryce and Team Mac is having
h there is some synergy that's going on.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Because I'm throwing the ball to T Mac.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I'm telling you right now that Young Mac and he
gets a rock and he is a game changer, a
difference maker. Every time he gets the rock, he's a
difference maker. And then when you get to take the
ball away from him, it's because you have to make
a good play to get the ball out of his hands.
So I like what I see and Hunter Rifrow got
to eat a little bit. But I like the relationship
(06:52):
that's happening, and I want to I want coach to
exploit that a little bit more. How can you exploit
that more on first and third down with T Mac
and Bruce.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Young and if they're gonna double team emember if he's
jammed up. You know, we do, like you said, I
mean renfro was there, Sanders, uh uh.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yeah, absolutely. I mean this there's some guys who were there.
And I thought that Sanders. I thought he played extremely well.
He played extremely well. I mean, there was a lot
of some good stuff that was happening. Here's a great
thing about what we saw today. The Panthers didn't give
up when when they had a chance to go ahead,
and old woe was me earlier in the first quarter,
(07:32):
second quarter, and he saw that. Man that you know,
the Cardinals are just kind of dominant today. They could
have easily given up, but that was not the That
was not the case at all. They played to the
end some hardball and who would have thought it had
a chance to go ahead and win the game.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
I mean, who would have thought that they would have
the game? There's no way. I'm like, oh man, this
game is over.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
No.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
If the game was not over and they had a
chance to win the game, and I thought that if
they would have just hit on a couple of plays
earlier with Bryce, not with his arm, but with his feet,
I think it'd be a different thing.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
And I think the other thing that's important too is
you know, when in this situation, you don't want to
have the situation where you play well in the first
half and then the second half as a dud. You know,
now you can kind of wipe out that first half
and say the second half is probably more who we
are and that's something that hopefully they can build on
when they come home here against Atlanta next week.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Well, absolutely, they can definitely build upon this because if
you were to take a snapshot of that game, you
there was nothing that was redeeming. Earlier in that game,
you go, in, my goodness, you know, here we go again,
that type of thing. But when you take the second
half of this game, you go, hey, watch out, we
you know what, we got some life, when we got something,
we have something here too. And I mean I thought
(08:48):
Kyler Murray, I thought he played extremely well, and I
thought we still did not give up even on the Kyler.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Murray when he was running and beating us with his feet.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
So there was a lot of things that you can
take Coach Canalis, you can take away from this game.
I'm going, hey, uh, that was pretty good, but make
no mistake about it, and let me just say this.
You still didn't win, right, And this game and our
business is all about winning. It's all about winning. And
Coach Knox used to say say it all the time.
Win it creates a climate with great things happen. And
(09:16):
when you lose this nothing there for no one there,
nothing there, nothing looks good. You could tell me that
this guy had a great game. He doesn't even care.
Nothing looks good.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
All right. A couple of highlights we'll listen back to here.
We mentioned at the start of the game, first drive disaster.
This guy set the tone for the first half, and
it was Bryce Young bumbling the ball here and Arizona
scores on the Panthers first possession to make it seven nothing.
Speaker 8 (09:44):
Sanders the tight ends split out for the left. Yonge
is in the gun. The up back is Rico Dwell
here on third and seven from the thirty.
Speaker 9 (09:53):
Here's the snap.
Speaker 8 (09:53):
Here's the pressure Young chase that he is all comes out.
It's still loose, rolling inside the five, picked up by
Arizona in the end zone for a touchdown.
Speaker 9 (10:05):
A disastrous start for the Panthers.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
No doubt about that. And then Bryce Young would also
throw an interception early in the game as well, those
were his two giveaways early in the game, and then
it was one of the better plays of the game
and part of the one hundred yards receiving by Tetoroa McMillan.
Forty of them come on this pass play in the
first quarter.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
Second down at eight four, man rush Young in the pocket,
steps up, fires over the middle. He's got mcmilli's forty
five Arizona off to the races deathfield inside the thirty five,
inside the thirty and finally brought down at.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
The twenty two yard line of.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
Arizona, biggest reception of Teo McMillan's young career.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
And the Panthers would go into the halftime locker room.
Now twenty to three would grow to twenty seven to
three in the third quarter, but then the comeback begins
and two touchdown passes in the into half. Both of
these two Hunter renfro.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
To fifteen to go with a third rice again in
the god takes the snap looking right, rolling to his right,
throws right corner of the end zone, touchdown catch by
Hunter renfro.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Chuba Hubbard with a touchdown reception. As well as the
three touchdown passes in the second half of Bryce Young,
Panthers do recover an onside kick, get the ball back
one more time, but unable to get over the top
and make it all the way back. That touchdown by
renfro the Whataburger, What a moment of the game, grilling
delicious food for seventy five years. What a burger just
like you like it. When we come back, we'll talk
(11:41):
some more, little at more of the stats from this game.
We'll hear from head coach Dave Canalis, We'll hear from
the guys in the booth as well as the Panthers
come up a little bit short though, as it turns
out in Arizona twenty seven to twenty two.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
To the final score, He's called tenders. Postap show line
from the Bank of America Citio.
Speaker 8 (11:57):
Z three give straight up the Middle, touchdown, touchdown.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Carolina Reaction and analysis to today's game with special guests,
highlights and updates from around the league.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Complete touchdown, right side makes to catch touchdown.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Third Now to Jim zok with the Panthers postgame show
exclusively on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
And with Jim Zochi, I Am Mike Pachico, Eugene Robinson,
alongside Panthers falling today in Arizona twenty seven to twenty two.
This drive around the League brought to you by the
Honda Dealers of the Carolinas. So two other late games today.
Indianapolis wins to hang on to beat Denver at home
twenty nine to twenty eight. Daniel Jones twenty two, twenty
three or thirty four in that game, three hundred and
(12:45):
sixteen yards. He's now two to zero as quarterback for
the Indianapolis Colt.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Charlotte and Danny dimes.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
That's right, okay, all right.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
Throwing some dimes.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
He also had one hundred and sixty five yards on
the ground from Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
So I think that it helps help.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
That helps out big time.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
I guess the Game of the Century Philadelphia at Kansas
City rematch of the Super Bowl. The Eagles hang on
to win that game by three, twenty to seventeen. Taikwon
Barkley had eighty eight yards on the ground. Jalen Hurts
was fifteen of twenty two with one hundred and one yards,
no touchdowns and no interceptions. Some of the games from
earlier today, Baltimore beats up on Cleveland forty one to seventeen.
(13:23):
Lamar Jackson threw for two hundred and twenty five yards four touchdowns.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Wow in that game jocking for Lamar.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Jackson, Joe Fleako a touchdown and an interception. Cincinnati hangs
On beats Jacksonville thirty one to twenty seven.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
Joe Berg got hurt in this game.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
So Jake Browning finishes up twenty one of thirty two
two hundred and forty one yards. He had two touchdowns,
three interceptions. Trevor Lawrence had three touchdowns two interceptions for Jacksonville,
but they lose the game. Dallas gets a field goal
by Brandon Aubrey late he got They actually got a
late field goal to tie the game time expiring, and
then the that was for sixty four yards and then
(13:57):
the forty six yard game winner in overtime. So the
Giants forty thirty seven winners in overtime at eighteen and
T Stadium, Detroit just beat the doors off Chicago fifty
two to twenty one.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Jared Jared five touchdowns.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
Dide they brook them off something proper too, dude.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
New England goes into my normally a house of horrors
for New England hard rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. But
Drake May leads the Patriots to victory thirty three twenty seven,
two hundred and thirty yards in the air, two touchdowns
for the Myers Park graduate.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Ynh Drake Major's suned out to be a good quarterback.
Huh yep?
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Solid sure is San Francisco twenty six, twenty one over
New Orleans. Matt Jones filling in for Brock Purdy twenty
six of thirty nine, had three touchdowns in that game.
Christan McCaffrey had a touchdown receiving in that game. Buffalo
beats the New York Jets thirty to ten. So another
big win for the Buffalo Bills. They proved it to
(14:52):
w and O Sattle beats Pittsburgh thirty one to seventeen.
Sam Darnold had two touchdowns in that game. In the
Rams over the Tennessee Titans thirty three nineteen Matthew Stafford
two hundred and ninety eight yards in the air for
the Rams.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
So do the Chiefs have to call the Eagles daddy?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Now? I think?
Speaker 10 (15:09):
So?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Who's your daddy? Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
My goodness, they just keep on beating them.
Speaker 9 (15:12):
I do.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
That's it.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
And there was a toush push score in that game
as well.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
So classic Philadelphia win. Yep, picking up where they left off.
Every thought they would drop back a little bit this year,
but out of the gate really strong for them. So
we'll see what's so today.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
We can the city's not going too by the way.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, Casey's OZ and two. And then tonight you mentioned
Atlanta playing Minnesota. Of course Atlanta will be here next week,
so we'll see how they fare against that Vikings team,
which was really sluggish last week with JJ McCarthy at quarterback,
and then he figured it out.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
In the fourth quarter last week. They'll figures they don't figured.
You've got Jon Robinson minute.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
He's going, Yes, that's gonna be tough.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
That's hard to tackle that dude.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
We got some weapons. Penis may or may not be ready,
but Bejon Robinson is the real deal, all right. Speaking
of Robinson's Mike our guy right here, Eugene, Yes, Veterans
Committee nominee for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 11 (16:05):
Well no, no, Holland boy for up people, well deserved.
I hope that happens, yeah, all the way through. You
know that that would be great, man. I mean, uh,
you know, just to be nominated is a big thing,
it really is. And and I had a great career,
and I played with some football with some great players
Ken Easley, lro Butler, playing against Ronnie Lott, Tim Brown,
(16:26):
Marcus Allen, Barry Sanders. I played against some guys who
was legend in my quarterbacks from Montana from Moon to
uh Elway. I mean, I've got to do a lot
in in football in and I'm thankful that I've been
able to have a lustrous career. So you know, thanks,
I really appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Now you well deserved and hope it ends up with
that gold jacket, Mike, and I woul be honored to present.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
You and can Yeah, holl boy, man, there you go.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
I want to ask you on the air, but if
you thought about, like who your presenter would be, I
think I know in my head who it might be.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
It would be my son.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, yeah, why didn'tant to say that that was y
if I I know.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
It would definitely be my son Brandon, you know, uh
he's a pastor now. And I'll tell you, I said, dude, man,
you can like preach man like you you're like you're good,
I said, you the authenticity that you have and how
that you word planning, how do you put things together?
I said, man, you're good, you know, and you know
I've always got to preach and stuff like that. But
(17:26):
I'm like, dude, he's really really good at what he's
doing and for for the Lord. So I would definitely
have him.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
All that happens.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
I gets to hang out and know you podcasts busy.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Nobody knows what I'm talking about it. But I just
thought i'd just say that to your podcast Matt.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Don't do that during the ceremony.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Yeah, I'll do that.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
I think Podcast Missy thought he was.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Gonna we'll be up there watching him in cat and
we hear podcast Missy and you shout all of you
jeans little what's uh, what's what's going on? So he
took a lot of hits, all right, So we'll take
a time out here. Final score twenty seven to twenty two.
Panthers come up just a little bit short. It's Arizona
(18:08):
more coming up next on the Carolina Panthers Radio network.
Pathers fall at Arizona twenty seven twenty two after being
down twenty seven to three in the third quarter make
it interesting on a run of nineteen points, failing on
a couple of two point tries and coming up just
a little bit short in the desert, but at least
(18:30):
sowing some signs of life, especially on the offensive side
there in the second half, while the defense held their
ground also after giving up those twenty seven points through
two and a half quarters. This season, Panther fans stay
ice cold. Was Zippy ice based right here in Charlotte.
They're the ice provider at Bank of America Stadium, keeping
your drinks and the Panthers cool all game long. Zippy ice,
keeping Carolina cool one game at a time. Not cool desert.
(18:54):
I heard it was triple digits out there, but of
course you got the roof out there at Glendale. Let's
send it back out that way. Now get the final
thoughts from the guys.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
Final score from State Farm Stadium in Glendale. Cardinals twenty seven,
Panthers twenty two. And it was an odd game from
the get go and a shrof Jake Delome Jordan gross
first two drives, Carolina fumbles, Arizona recovers for a touchdown.
Bryce Young then intercepted field goal. It's ten to nothing
(19:22):
before you can really get settled in. Right before the half,
the Cardinals score ten points in the last two minutes,
twenty to three going in a halftime, and then Arizona
scores on the first possession of the third quarter. Jordan,
we're sitting here going okay, twenty seven to three, not
a lot of time left. The game seemed to be
(19:45):
shrinking for Carolina, and then we almost witnessed the greatest
comeback in franchise history. They come up short, but there
is a lot to build off of, especially from what
we saw in the second half.
Speaker 12 (19:57):
I've been very impressed by Bryce Young in that's and
a half to come back from a sack, fumble for
a touchdown, then an interception. Then you know, we talked
about clock management at the end of the first half,
just there was no juice, no momentum going into half. Tim,
I don't know what was said or what was done,
but to come out they kind of set your jaw
and lead on two fourteen play drives with your first
(20:18):
two possessions, sit in the pocket, make good decisions. I mean,
I'm very impressed with that young football player with the
second half that he had.
Speaker 8 (20:25):
Jake, Bryce in this game set career highs in completions,
attempts yards, tied his career high for touchdown passes. Teda
roll McMillan, I mean you played with Mussin Mohammad and
Steve Smith. Teda roll McMillan six catches one hundred yards,
first one hundred yard game in just his second game.
He looks like he's got a chance to be a
(20:47):
really special player for a long time.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
And it's easy.
Speaker 13 (20:52):
It's not hard, you know, like it almost looked like
it's nonchalant.
Speaker 14 (20:55):
The way he catches the ball. It's just so easy
his body control.
Speaker 13 (20:59):
But yeah, listen, at halftime, we're sitting here scratching our heads.
We give up, you know, a touchdown that really and
truly right before half. That's one we should not have
given up. It should have been a field goal attempt
and not a touchdown. But nineteen rushes, fifty five passes.
Love but Bryce did throwing it but we had to right,
that's not our correct formula.
Speaker 14 (21:18):
Hopefully all these passes you get a JT.
Speaker 13 (21:22):
Sanders. You saw him look different than he did last year.
You saw him catch the ball like we got to
build off of this. Bryceon Tremaine right, Ted McMillan. We
could talk about Hunter Renfro getting still back into the
groove of playing after being off the one disappointment, to
be honest, eight targets for Xavier, one catch minus two yards.
Speaker 14 (21:43):
There's something there's something missing there.
Speaker 13 (21:45):
I'm not exactly sure what it is, but like you
love to see him get just more, just any production.
Speaker 8 (21:51):
And Jake, if you look at his first two games,
fifteen targets, fifteen four catches for eight yards.
Speaker 12 (22:00):
And I want to know why at the end of
the game that McMillan, we didn't get the ball in
his direction on that last drive, you know, I mean,
just play design and what the defense was running. But yeah,
you just he's continually to me looked very good to
your point of niche he has got room for improvement
right there, so you establishing who he can count on
and where we're going from here. But very impressed with
(22:21):
Bryce Young. I gotta give him credit passing that whole
second half. Incredibly tough that Corbett went out and also
Robert hunt is. Now you got two linemen, backup linemen
in good players, but their backups for a reason.
Speaker 14 (22:34):
And then we have two sacks at the end of
the game.
Speaker 9 (22:36):
Yeah, Panthers had their chance.
Speaker 8 (22:39):
They score on their first two drives of the second half,
and then Kyler Murray with an ill advised interception with
Arizona inside the Panther twenty yard line. Panthers go down
the field, they score again, recover the on side kick,
and had a chance at the very end they have
(23:00):
ball plus territory. Other final drive got to the Arizona
thirty three. But the injuries to the offensive line just
that showed on that last series. Oh to two, But
it doesn't feel like oh and two did last year.
Bro Panthers touchdown they finished this game.
Speaker 14 (23:17):
No, there's no doubt.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
But think about it.
Speaker 13 (23:18):
Let's go back to Week two last year at home
against the Chargers, and what are we saying right now?
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Who is this quarterback?
Speaker 13 (23:24):
He can't he can't complete a swing route, and then
we're watching him today setting records for completions, attempts, yards,
and tying touchdown.
Speaker 14 (23:33):
Just think about what a year does, right.
Speaker 13 (23:35):
So we're gonna go back home, We're going to not
anywhere near where we thought we were, and we're gonna
go back to.
Speaker 14 (23:40):
A crowd that Hey, they won.
Speaker 9 (23:43):
Twenty one and with fifty eight second touchdown.
Speaker 13 (23:47):
Catch showed up maybe his first sack he if he
was there in other areas too. I thought Nathan Ranson
some of the tackles he made today. Ted McMillan, But again,
Derrek Brown, I can't say enough about him. The stat
sheet won't show it, but the holding calls that he
forced Arizona, they would they couldn't block him, you know.
I thought Pat Jones dj Wanham had some good plays today.
(24:10):
But we did a good job defensively short up the
run game compared to what we saw last week. I
will say that we got to carry that over when
we go back home Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Right, they're gonna have a short eye.
Speaker 14 (24:21):
They played tomorrow night if I'm correct.
Speaker 13 (24:24):
No, I'm sorry, they played tonight on the road in Minnesota,
So that's gonna be they're gonna be late getting back
and they're coming home hopefully they're Oh and two, we
get a good crowd and we just build off we
we have to build find something to build off of
in the second half this and never say the.
Speaker 12 (24:40):
Attitude and you wouldn't say necessarily it's a must win game,
but oh and oh and three home opener, it's a
must win game and the familiar opponent.
Speaker 14 (24:51):
Should be a good crowd.
Speaker 12 (24:53):
Uh again, I just I got there's been criticism at
times with Bryce Young and his young career, but man,
I'm impressed with what he did in this second. I
mean just the way he was able to stay in
that pocket and makes him throws.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
A good day by him.
Speaker 8 (25:04):
You know, last week we saw this team move the
ball against Jacksonville. They just couldn't finish drives for whatever reason. Penalties, turnovers.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
Early in this.
Speaker 8 (25:15):
Game, they had instances where they were moving the ball,
couldn't finish drives. Second half, three of the last four
possessions for Carolina touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, and then you know
the turnover on downs at the end when they got
into Arizona.
Speaker 9 (25:29):
Territory off the on side kick. Valiant effort.
Speaker 8 (25:33):
Certainly something to build on and evidence that this is
an improved team, and hopefully the version we saw in
the second half is one that shows up the rest
of the way.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yeah, we want fourth quarter Bryce for next week against Atlanta.
All r guys, we take a time out here, we'll
chop it up a little bit more. We'll be hearing
from coach Canalis in the next segment, and then I
think we've got some player interviews coming up after that.
Before we go to break, though, let's pause ten seconds
Station ID on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network. All right,
mar In the postgame show coming up next as we continue,
(26:06):
and we'll hear from coach Dave Canalis. Final score from
Arizona twenty seven to twenty two.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Back to the Panthers postgame show line from Bank of
America CIA, exclusively on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Arizona holds off the Panthers late rally twenty seven to
twenty two. The final score injury updates are brought to
you by AHRIM Health doing more to keep you moving, achieving,
striving at every agent stage so you can live fully.
And two along the offensive line for the Panthers injury wise,
Robert Hunt with a bicep injury in Austin Corbett with
a knee injury. Both were listed as questionable at the
end of the game's send it back to Arizona. Here
(26:45):
from the head coach Dave Canallis.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
We're joined by Panthers head coach Dave Canallas tail of
two halves. Coach, what encouraged you the most about the
way your team battled back in that second half.
Speaker 15 (26:59):
Just the identity and finish of this group. That's something
that we pride ourselves on. But we got to figure
out the start. I take full responsibility. I got to
make sure that I have our guys mentally ready to
go from snap one and to be able to play together,
to play team football, complimentary football that.
Speaker 9 (27:17):
We're looking for. But the finish of it, the way.
Speaker 15 (27:21):
That guys just continued to execute, regardless of what the
score was, is what gave us a chance. And that'll
always be true. But we got to clean up the
early mistakes.
Speaker 13 (27:28):
Hey, coach is Jake, Yeah, listen, I think you hit
it on the head. You know, the start, we put
ourselves in a position and then right before half giving.
Speaker 14 (27:36):
Up the touchdown instead of the field goal.
Speaker 13 (27:37):
But to be able to come back in the second
half fifty five passes. I know that's not our formula,
but just we go back a year ago, Bryce Week two.
The performance Bryce Week two this year pretty remarkable. The
resilience he showed in the second half absolutely.
Speaker 15 (27:52):
Speaks to his leadership resilience. He'll be the first one
to be up here and tell you he would love
to eliminate those early mistakes. But you look at his eyes,
he just keeps working and he just keeps battling and attacking,
and so I have to just like give Bryce a
lot of love and commend him for doing that. But collectively,
as a group, you know, we have to play better
(28:13):
early on.
Speaker 12 (28:14):
Coach Jordan Gross, here, can you share what your message
was at halftime? It was just I was so impressed
with how the team came out after that break down
twenty to three, to have the resilience and to be
able to go on those long drives offensively get some
good stands on defense?
Speaker 9 (28:26):
What was your message?
Speaker 15 (28:28):
Our definition of finish do write longer, Do write longer
and see what happens. And the defense did right and
the defense put us in position to be able to
be successful with a three and out with the turnover
and then an on side skick. You know, while you
know we always talk about you don't pass judgment on
the outcome of the game based on what happens early on.
You could be up, you could be down. You just
keep playing football. We have to have that kind of
(28:50):
toughness and mentality to be able to continue to execute
because you never know what could happen if you believe
and if you just keep going back to work.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
Coach the rookies, Tedo McMillan one hundred yards in his
second game and Princely getting his first sack. You said
you wanted to see more of the young guys. What
did you think from some of those rookie performances today?
Speaker 15 (29:11):
Yeah, just great opportunities for them to show how they
can help the team. And I think if you ask them,
Manda Man, they just want to find a way to help,
you know. And however we can do that. Whatever we
can look forward to do. You know, we'll fight and
scratch and again, like with the coaching staff or evaluating
this thing weekly to see who can help us. So
I was glad to see some guys show.
Speaker 8 (29:28):
Up today before we let you go. How can you
build off of the finish to go into the home opener?
Speaker 15 (29:35):
Yeah, I mean, just you know, the message to the team.
We should be sick right now because we see what
we can be when we are executing, when we are
playing assignment football and we're playing the fundamentals of ball.
We see what we can be. But can we be
that consistently? And that's what we're headed for, and that's
what we're getting back to work for this week.
Speaker 9 (29:53):
All right, coach, thank you, Okay, thanks guys.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
It's I mean, they're down twenty seven to three. That's
I don't know what the I'm sure they still do.
The little ESPN win percentage rate was one percent. Probab
you're less than one percent. So the fact that they
got the on side kick, Mike and had a chance
to even like have an opportunity to have the ball
in their hands on the other side of the field
says a lot. But you're working against really steep odds
(30:17):
the whole way when you fall behind that big bat
early in the.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
Game, and that was the first on side kick. We're
covered by the Panthers since I think December one of
twenty nineteen. Of course, we've had the new dynamic kickoff rules,
so that makes it even harder. I mean before you
had maybe a punter's kickers chance, I guess, right, But
now you have to alert the other team that you're
doing an onside kick, so the element of surprise goes away.
(30:39):
So that completely changes. But it was interesting and I thought,
you know, Sam Martin did a great job because it
the the lineman on the front there was going up
to block and it actually he didn't see the ball
and it bounced off from the pants as were able
to pounce on it.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yeah, what kind of funny watch that guy run with
the ball hitting him the side exactly. Isn't the ball
the whole thing at that point, right?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
But what they're told to do is, I need you
to block the ext number guy who in the L
five with R five, R four, R three, whatever, whatever
that number is. I need you to block that person
because I got my best receiver back here with better
hands and he's gonna handle the ball. So you just
do your thing of blocking. And that's why the kickers
of punters, kickers they try to hit the they try
(31:23):
to hit the lineman in front, hit the wickets, Yeah,
because they know that their job is they're gonna go
block and they're not necessarily trying to go and recover
the ball.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
So it was a great play, a good kick obviously
by Sam Martin, good recovery by Demoni Richardson. We'll be
hearing us some player interviews coming up. We also have
another scoreboard coming up from Mike Pachico as well. Again,
the final score twenty seven to twenty two, Arizona beating
the Panthers. On the Carolina Panthers Radio Network FAFIS Paul
(31:54):
Oh and two the comeback comes up a little bit short,
twenty seven to twenty two at Arizona. We go back
to the desert now, and you've got one of the
guys that put some pressure on Kyler Murray out there.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
With them, any sharp Jake DeLonge, Jordan Gross with Panthers
linebacker and that rusher, DJ wantam DJ?
Speaker 9 (32:12):
What changed in the second half?
Speaker 7 (32:15):
I feel like, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (32:16):
We went in, We came in to have time, and
we just kind of honed in on the little things
and the little minor things that we was messing up on.
And you know what I'm saying, the guys, we gave
a speech to come on, we gotta go out there
and lock in and the rest of his game, and
you know what I'm saying, we just we just started
to you know what I'm saying, execute better on defense?
Speaker 9 (32:31):
Who gave the speech? What was set at halftime?
Speaker 7 (32:33):
Uh? Just coach coach E defense defensive?
Speaker 10 (32:36):
We you know what I'm saying, We gotta just keep
putting together and we went out there and did it.
Speaker 14 (32:41):
Yeah, DJ is Jake.
Speaker 13 (32:42):
It seems like the urgency on defense was a lot
different than last week.
Speaker 14 (32:46):
Just the physicality that we played with. Did it?
Speaker 13 (32:48):
Was that something that was noticeable to you guys on
the field during the game.
Speaker 7 (32:52):
Uh yeah, definitely noticeable. You know what I'm saying. We
held them.
Speaker 10 (32:54):
I don't know how many rust yards they had, but
we held them to a little mount of rush yards.
And that's just going in on the the things that
we picked up and we learned from last week. It
gets to Jaguars, you know what I'm saying. So you
know what I'm saying, this is not this, This is
just the beginning. What I'm saying, We're gonna continue to
get better. And I got a lot of faith in
this defense, this team. We're just gonna keep going, keep
getting keep getting better, keep gelling and the Skuys in
(33:15):
limbing for us.
Speaker 12 (33:16):
DJ Jordan Gross here, what's what's the mindset now going
into the home opener next week? Get in front of
our home fans, you know, the week of practice, all
that as we lead up to this game next week.
Speaker 7 (33:25):
Yeah, we're gonna We're gonna watch the tape with such
the tape.
Speaker 10 (33:27):
You know what I'm saying, look at the different things
that you know what I'm saying, that we could have
done better, and we're just gonna gotta start faster. You
know what I'm saying, We gotta start faster. We put
ourselves in bad positions. His last game against the team
that you know what I'm saying, we definitely should have
came out on top of. But know what I'm saying,
we just gotta start faster. And it's a great feeling,
you know what I'm saying, going back home and being
able to do it in front of our fans.
Speaker 9 (33:46):
DJ appreciate the top. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Yep, all right, so DJ want them there. Eugene and uh,
I mean you do take some building blocks, a little
bit of confidence.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
A closer game always makes you feel better than a
blowout gains but R and two. So this this game
against a really good Atlanta team at home. It's critical
now because if you go oh and three to start
your season, that's that's a tough hold.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
It's very tough hold to climb out of. And don't
forget that.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
I mean, he says something that we have to start faster,
and when he means by that not only faster, but cleaner.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
We have to be clean.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
We we can't have the turnovers or we can't have
a biggest supposed to play on defense where the guy
where it's like a you know, a deep go route
on the very first thing, and or somebody falls down
and the guy catches the ball and runs for touch.
He saying, look, we have to play clean, hard, nos
tough football to give ourselves a chance. And if when
you don't play that way and you let those things
(34:40):
creep in, like an interception or a fumble for over
or special teams play, you're behind the eight ball and
now you've got to overcome that deficit. And it's very
difficult to overcome that deficit. You always find yourself chasing,
and then coaches get out of rhythm because now they
got to go ahead and chase points. We saw that
with the you know, the trying to get the extra
(35:00):
two points, extra two points.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
You're trying to chase points.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
And you never want to chase points because now when
you're chasing points, you can't run the office or the
defense the way you.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Would like to run it.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
Yeah, and you got to put yourself in positions to succeed.
But you can't give an NFL team, you can't spot
them seven or ten points. No, and you know we've
seen you know, it's hard to come back. And you
know they were a little very fortunate. I mean that
on side kick kind of made things a lot tighter
than maybe it would have been had they.
Speaker 6 (35:29):
You know, not recovered it.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
So you got to factor that and especially the low
percentage of how that is successful.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
I thought one of the turning points of the game
was that interception by Kyler Murray. I thought when Kyler Murray,
when he threw the ball and he knew he should
have go ahead and just just take the sack. He
knew it, and he put his head down. He looked up,
He's like, that's my bad. Those are the type of
plays that teams that historically don't win make. They make
plays like that where you let another team get back
(35:56):
in the game because on paper, the Panthers should never
got back in that game at all. He just takes
the sack. Okay, they punted the ball off, and now
you got to run a go down a long road
to go ahead and make things happens.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
So that's standpoint.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
I bet you the the Cardinals are saying, man, we
we got like twelve penalties for ninety three yards. We
let these guys off the hook, yep, every single time.
Fortunately we were able, you know, Kelly's Kimbell was able
to come up with a sack to go ahead in
the game.
Speaker 4 (36:25):
But we let them off.
Speaker 6 (36:27):
The hook, especially that one on fourth down exactly.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
And you know, we're trying to you know, I'm trying
to coach from the stands here, Hey.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
Run run run, run, run, run, bryce run.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
You know, And I know it's I know it's difficult
because I know he sees things that I don't see,
and I know the coaches do. But I was hoped,
shown up, hoping that they would have used their feet
a little bit and not the arm on that play,
because on those series of plays, because I thought there
was some room to be gained.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Yeah, they're taking everything downfield away from you. There's gotta
be that intermediate to think if you just run past
the defensive line, there should be some open field there
and slide and there was still time.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
Yeah, it was lots of time.
Speaker 6 (37:04):
There was still time to do that.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Yeah, Yeah, it wasn't that big of a hurt.
Speaker 4 (37:07):
And then let me just say this too.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
So you suck those guys up as far as the
defency just trying to run and now they're like, oh,
we've got to be on alert, and now you're able
to slip something over the top of their head because
now somebody comes open.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Yeah, we're talking about like maybe have like a checkdown,
just having chew bud just like chip block and then
just right out front and just have that outlet out there,
because like I said, there's a big gapy tune was
going on downfield if you clear out down that way.
But Panthers made it, made it ef fort out of it,
but to come up five point short, losing twenty seven
twenty two in our game. When we come back, Michael
Love an update on the other games going on and
what's happening today in the NFL Final score from Arizona
(37:41):
Cardinals win over the Panthers twenty seven to twenty two.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Back to Chimzok live from the Bank of America Citio
with the Panthers postgame show exclusively on the Carolina Panthers
Radio Network.
Speaker 5 (37:56):
Like Jim and Eugene with you here as we move
our way through the Panthers postgame show pam was falling
on the road twenty seven to twenty two at Arizona.
Taking a look at the postgame scoreboard. Just one game
upcoming tonight, of course, and that is going to be
the Panthers next opponent, and will be Atlanta's at Minnesota today,
So they'll kind of a short kind of the short field,
if you will, playing tonight and then going on the
(38:18):
road to Carolina here and then the two Monday night games.
Tampa Bay is at Houston, the Chargers are at Las Vegas.
Some of the scores from earlier today, Denver losing on
the road to Indianapolis. Daniel Jones had twenty three of
thirty four to three hundred and sixteen yards with a
touchdown as Indianapois wins twenty nine to twenty eight. Philadelphia
(38:39):
over Kansas City twenty to seventeen. Kind of a crazy
game in Dallas. They go to overtime against the Giants.
Nine hundred and eighty nine totally yards in that game
between the two teams. Wow and Brandon Aubrey had two
field goals, one late to tie it and then of
course the winner in overtime. San Francisco over New Orleans
twenty six to twenty one. New England wins in Miami
(38:59):
thirty three to twenty seven. Drake May nineteen of twenty three,
with three hundred twenty yards had two touchdowns in that game.
And then Seattle, one of Eugene's former teams, beats up
on Pittsburgh thirty one two seventeen to win for Sam Darnold.
Seattle and Pittsburgh now won and one.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
And not only on the it was on the kickoff
the Pittsburgh still a player touched the ball winning an
end zone, did not recover it, and then they went
down and recovered the ball.
Speaker 6 (39:23):
From realized that the ball was live. The ball was
a lying area and I know.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
The rule is really kind of like, it's kind of funky.
So and the retire man just thought that when it
touched him and it went into the end zone, he
thought the ball was a dead ball.
Speaker 4 (39:36):
So he just ran off the field. I'm like, oh,
there you go.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
But that rule, now he knows that rule that the
ball is a live ball.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
And you hear this.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
You posted to assume the ball is live every single
time with the own defense, offense, special team.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
You just assume is live. And if you do it,
that way. That way you.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
Recover the ball. You don't give a team that shouldn't
that doesn't earn it.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
But that's gotta come up at how many meetings I know,
I mean, when you're a special team's returner it was
like an up man or whatever.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
I know exactly.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
You should know that portion of that's it.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
That's part of your job, right Your part of the
job is to know that, hey, what is illegal and
what's not illegal on these plays right here? If I
touch the ball, what happens on that you know? And
so from that standpoint you can actually I've seen some
smart returnment knowing the ball about to go out of
bounds a little bit and they get out of bounds
(40:27):
and they fill the ball down the balls out of
bobbers because they're out of bos they get it at
the forty yard line. I mean, so there's been some
really good plays, but that's something you should.
Speaker 4 (40:36):
Know as a returnment. I'm real we got one more
segment to go.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Edb molding over during this break the hardest working player
of the game, and we'll put the wraps on this
one when we come back next. Panthers fall in Arizona
twenty seven to twenty two.
Speaker 1 (40:49):
The Panthers postgame show continues live from Bank of America City,
exclusively on the Carolina Panthers Radio Network.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
All Right, thanks to our crew Harold Hamrick and Ben Blevins,
Jason Hutchinson, Wendell Black. David eats Matt Hogan by remputment
right here, Amy Martin, Eric Fidlerman, Sharon Thorslan, and David Langton,
our executive producer. Panthers lose at Arizona twenty seven twenty two.
Got the home of Opening versus Atlanta coming up next Sunday,
and they're getting ready to play right now, Sunday Football
against the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 4 (41:22):
Time podcast Are you yeah?
Speaker 6 (41:28):
Yeah, you mentioned you said his real names come up?
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Yeah, yeah, you didn't go his name is Matt Hogan.
Speaker 11 (41:36):
No, all these years you didn't know his name was.
Speaker 4 (41:40):
I think I knew. I think I knew Matt. I
think I know his last name.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
Tonight, his name is not podcast, Missy, podcast, Missy. That
is your name for Matt Hogan, Speaking of which, he's
a candidate for the Hardest working Player of the Game.
Presented to you by sun Belt Reynolds, the official Renold
Equipment partner of the Carolina Panthers. Not a lot of
choices in this one, but got my.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Choice, what you got, I'm going Sanders. I thought that
Sanders played extremely well and he became a viable option
for Bryce down the stretch and showed up on some
big catches. So I'm like, I'm going with Sanders because
the easy one would be McMillan's. But I'm like, you
know what I think Sanders. Uh, you know a guy
that you're not expecting to go ahead and grind it out.
I thought he was grinding.
Speaker 6 (42:21):
I think Hunter Renfros in that category.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (42:25):
They had a couple of obviously a couple of touchdowns,
had some big catches in the game, and again proved
to be another good option for Bryce.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
Youw And I was gonna throw in the fact that
they had the two touchdowns, seven catches forty eight yards
playing with that rib injury. How painful is that?
Speaker 10 (42:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (42:39):
My goodness, when you breathe, it just hurts, man, my goodness.
Speaker 4 (42:42):
I never liked that.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
That's why I was gonna make it my candidate as well.
