Transcript: Panthers Head Coach Press Conference





How does the loss this week prepare you for the next game?

Despite the tough loss this week, we're moving forward and focusing on learning from our mistakes. We'll watch film, adjust and work on executing better as a team. We know our capabilities and aim to come back stronger next week. Losing is never easy, especially by such a large margin, but we can use this experience as a chance to make improvements. By reviewing the game footage and identifying areas where we fell short, we'll address those issues in practice and be better prepared for the next game. Staying positive and focused on improvement is crucial for us.







Can you talk about what it’s like to prepare to go against a player like Jonathan Taylor?

Jonathan Taylor is a talented running back, and we're aware of the challenges he presents. He's a fast runner with an impressive ability to break tackles, which is something we try to prepare for. Our defense has been studying his game film extensively to identify his strengths and weaknesses, and we'll always strategize accordingly. We understand that the Falcons rely heavily on Taylor, and we try our best to contain him and prevent big plays. We have a lot of respect for his skillset and the impact he can have on the game. That being said, we've limited him before, we're confident in our defensive capabilities and we'll be working hard to execute our game plan any time we face Taylor or any running back. It takes a team effort to limit Taylor's impact, and we usually rely on our linebackers and defensive line to help shut down the run game. It's always a challenge to face a talented player like Taylor, but we have to stay ready for the task at hand.

How has Taylor Moton’s experience in the league helped the team so far?

Taylor Moton, and also Austin Corbett's, experience in the league has been invaluable to our young and talented offensive line. They have provided strong leadership, both on and off the field. Their experience has given them the ability to identify potential issues before they arise and to quickly make adjustments as needed. They lead by example, demonstrating a strong work ethic and attention to detail in every practice and game. Their communication skills are excellent, which helps ensure that everyone on the offensive line is on the same page. They also help mentor the younger players, providing guidance and support as they develop their skills. Overall, Moton and Corbett's experience has been instrumental in helping our offensive line perform at a high level and continue to improve.
