Meaningful football in January The bus the buzz around this city over The last month or so has been really Good because of this football team these Players have an opportunity against a Division opponent to go out in in the Season the right way it's a great way to Look at it and speaking of that division Opponent Panthers haven't seen the same Since early on in the season so TD what Are they looking out for in the film Room this week so this is a different Saints team than we played early on in The season they have a different Quarterback that's leading them right Now this is one of the things that our Offensive line has to focus on the All-time leaving sack Master for the Saints right now and Cam Jordan he's Done a great job for the Saints but he Literally dominated this game he had Three sacks in this game and this is one Of the sacks that he had New Orleans did A great job of devising the scheme that Allowed Cam Jordan to come free they're Going to utilize this linebacker let it Run the linebacker is going to set the Pick on the tackle once you set a pick Cam is just setting it up he's not Rushing up feel hard and now they run a Line game our offensive line has been Tremendous at picking these things up I Know the coach is going to have them Ready they've seen this Cam Jordan
Should be a non-factor based on the way That we've been playing but listen We know that he's going to be ready to Play and it's a tough place to play Always when you go down to New Orleans Let's go into this next place we've seen Alvin Kamara in the backfield doing this For a long time this is the reason why That Dave had the success that they've Had offensively is because they are a Run first team they're going to run the Ball with Ava Kamara and they're going To try to take shots off of that so Right now This is not about what the Saints is Doing the saints were able to do this is About being misaligned our defense has To come out everybody has to be on the Same page we got to make sure KB that These guys are communicating if you see A run formation if you see a gap that's Not being taken linebackers have to Adjust they have to get Lyman right and The Philadelphia Eagles didn't do that On this place and you're going to see The result there is never a time as a Linebacker where you want to see your Defensive line and behold offensive line Five to seven yards down the field KB That's nothing like waking up in a bad Dream right yeah never a good feeling to Know that a guy is running six or seven Yards untouched but that's exactly what This scheme right here for the Saints
Allow Alvin Camaro to do all right I Love what you said about this being an Opportunity to clean up some of those Mistakes play a great game and go out on A good note for the Panthers absolutely We have to do it win this one for whips Baby absolutely all right unfortunately We have run out of time for today but be Sure to tune in as our team travels down To the Big Easy to take on the Saints in The last game of the season that we were Just talking about kickoff is at one O'clock Fox will have the TV broadcast And you can catch me and the radio crew On 99.7 The Fox locally so on behalf of Coach Wilkes and the one and only Thomas Davis plus our entire huddle crew thank You so much for joining us this season We'll see you next time right here Inside the Panthers huddle keep pounding Watching the Peppers huddle A copyrighted presentation of the Carolina Panthers and the NFL
