The Carolina Panthers might have the week off, but that doesn’t mean there’s not a lot to cover.
In fact, the team on Mint Street and their first-year head coach Dave Canales have a lot to discuss before they invite the Kansas City Chiefs to Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte two weekends from now. Among those discussion topics:
What should we make of the Panthers-in-Germany experience? Did Carolina pay the right guy in Chuba Hubbard? A new outlook for Bryce Young?
And, most predictably: Who are the Panthers’ stars of the midway point?
To help break this all down, brace your ears for the voices of Mike Kaye (who was in Germany last weekend) and Alex Zietlow, who cover the Carolina Panthers for The Charlotte Observer and are co-hosts of the podcast Processing Blue.
