The Carolina Panthers are back from the bye week in first place in the NFC South, and today's TGOR Podcast covers everything from Bryce Young's night on the ManningCast to Tuesday's roster moves and the road trip to Philadelphia.
We start with Bryce Young joining Peyton and Eli Manning on ESPN's ManningCast during Bills vs. Rams. Peyton pointed out Bryce is on pace for nearly 40 touchdown passes, and the crew showed the postgame locker room from the 32-26 Sunday night win over the Lions, with his teammates chanting "MVP." Bryce did what Bryce does and gave the credit to his teammates. We also get into what he said about continuity with Dave Canales after three play-callers in his first two seasons, his growing comfort making changes at the line of scrimmage, his eighth-grade scholarship offer from Kliff Kingsbury, and why Tetairoa McMillan has made his job "way, way easier." Plus, Bryce confirmed he hasn't been on social media since his second year of college.
Next, the roster moves. The Panthers placed second-year defensive tackle Cam Jackson on injured reserve with a shoulder injury that will require season-ending surgery. Right tackle Taylor Moton, defensive tackle Tershawn "Turk" Wharton and running back Trevor Etienne were all designated to return to practice, which opens a three-week window before they must be activated. Cornerback Robert Rochell returned to the practice squad and Cam Gill was released. We also touch on a former Panthers camp leg: the Rams released kicker Harrison Mevis after two misses in Monday night's overtime loss to Buffalo.
Then the feel-good story of the day. Taylor Moton opened up about his pulmonary embolism, coughing up blood at his Charlotte home in June, multiple clots in his right lung, and three months on blood thinners before he could get back to football. Moton broke the team down after Tuesday's practice with a simple message: have an attitude of gratitude.
We also break down how this offense works, using Canales' own explanation. Why the RPO game gave Detroit fits, how Chuba Hubbard's downhill running fits it, how Bryce throws from different platforms, and why Darren Waller at 6-foot-6 creates matchup problems that Canales says still have more to give.
Finally, the Eagles. Bryce called Jalen Carter elite at every level, the Philly defense is stout and sticky in coverage, and Tetairoa says the scheme looks a lot like what Ejiro Evero runs against them every day in practice.
