Feel2 hey yes and here's the best part About that that's my favorite Taylor Swift song that is that was not planned That was the best yes awesome hey off You know Me this exclusive presentation of the Carolina Panthers television network is Brought to you in part by Bank of America official Bank of the Carolina Panthers it may seem like all doom and Gloom this season but Coach Frank Reich Has been down this road before he talks To our on an shof about his experience And why he's embracing that keep Pounding mindset we're joined by Panthers head coach Frank Reich uh I Want to start with just on a human level Chandler zal's injury when it happened Everybody in the building stopped What was it like watching that initially From your Vantage Point I mean it was Scary you know you you you approach him On the field you can see he's not moving Um and so you know immediately you have You have great concern um probably 30 Seconds after that I saw him mooving arm You know so I thought okay good you know And then of course medical team was Phenomenal did a great job um so just Thankful everything worked out when you Saw him not just get released from the Hospital but be on the team plane back Home it was great you know had a chance To kind of go back and visit with him on
The plane and you know he still was in a Little bit of a brace thing but you know As precaution but he was in great Spirits and even coming off the field Right I mean I don't know if you guys Heard this but he was he was giving a Charge to the guys you know um just to Show the kind of guy he was I know from Your game planning standpoint now that Position's been hit pretty hard so who's Next man up at guard uh you know throck Has done a good job and then Cade's you Know stepped in last week and so um It'll likely be Cade um you know he came In and did a good job I thought the o Line last week really played pretty well Um you know in that game so we'll Continue to build from there perspective Is a strange word in today's day and age Because Society doesn't want it you have To have it so how do you keep it when Everybody is only about the here and now Yeah I mean you just have to have deep Convictions and belief in the in what You're doing and who you're doing it With and and we have that you know some Of that where does that come from well It comes from some of it just comes from Years of experience and seeing things Turn around and being through um rough Starts in a season before um that can Not only turn to good things in the same Year that you're in but can also turn to Good things in future years I think
Experience is the best teacher uh uh but Then it's also a matter of personal Conviction that experience is not only Having been part of turnarounds but Knowing what it takes and knowing like Looking at the guys and saying do we Have the core guys here to build on and I know we have that so Indianapolis it Was similar right one and five that First year and then you end up going to The playoffs what do you remember about A turning point in that season where you Said okay all these pieces where you've Been close now it clicks you know what's Interesting you know we always talk 0 And0 one and0 right you know everybody Talks that language all the time but Then you go through something and it Brings it to life even more and that That's what happened for instance in That season it was that kind of one and0 Mentality because that's all you're left With and so um you know the good news is For us is you know right we've been Talking about that so you know now you Start to get in a position where hey This is this is where we are this is a Week toe League that's good and bad so Uh you know we got to take it all for The good um it doesn't you know the O And O thing is okay we are where we at With our record but we go into this week Like that hasn't happened let's just Play a one game season and uh and keep
Doing that week after week when you hear Guys in the locker room use words like Frustrated as a head coach what's your Messaging to those guys who obviously Want to win just as bad as you do yeah Stay the course keep working I mean uh This is life you've been through this You've already been through this in your Personal life you've been through this You know on other teams you've been on More than likely at some point along the Way um so let's take an attitude that um This is going to make us better we don't Have to like it we shouldn't like it so Use that fuel that disgust that you know That frustration use that as fuel but Stay focused on getting better you have To stick to the process if you get so Obsessed with the results it just ends Up being counterproductive you've seen That time and time again all the great Coaches from way back when that's stick To the process the results follow last Thing coach you used the words in your Press conference after the game keep Pounding that's the ethos of this Franchise as you think about it and you Think of Sam Mills what does keep Pounding mean in this moment well that's That's what I was thinking about you Know that it it's it's not easy and that You have to believe that you can have an Impact that that that if you keep Pounding it will have an impact on you
Personally on the people around you and And the ripple effect of that so but if You that's why the whole key to me and Knowing Sam having played with Sam um You know not being here when he gave That speech but just knowing him as a Player and as a teammate and as a Captain of our team was he just had that Kind of impact and it didn't matter what The circumstance was going to be that's Who he was and I think man that that Comes to life now as much as ever yeah Keep pounding closed captioning for the Panthers television network is provided By Charlotte Eye Ear Nose and Throat Associates helping you enjoy the the Sights and sounds of the NFL all season Long well if we've ever needed a week For film study it's definitely this week Against the Miami Dolphins it's time for TD's film room and TD let's start with The good news about this game there is a Particular player that will not be on The field on Sunday that is absolutely Good news with the way that this kid Aain has been playing he has been Phenomenal to me he has been the lead Candidate with CJ stra to be the Offensive player of the year based on The numbers that he's been able to put Up in the first few weeks as a football Player in the NFL but this Miami offense Is absolutely loaded and when I tell you That these guys are loaded they have
Weapons all over the field and just Because they lost their star rookie Running back they have another running Back that can take it to distance from Anywhere on the field right moer is Arguably the fastest player in all of Football I mean Tyreek Hill might argue With that but if you see this guy you Watch what he was just able to do watch How he just Effortlessly outraced the entire defense Into the end zone this is what Miami has As a football team they have guys that Can take it the distance from any point On the field so our defense has to be Sound and they have to be sound all over The field speaking of being sound these Are the kind of things that you can't Allow this Miami offense to force you Into cuz right here we know Robbie Anderson very well Robbie is not a guy That you need to dedicate two players to I have a lot of respect for Robbie I Love what he brings to the game but if You're going to leave this guy wide open You're in for a bad day and that's one Of the things this Panther defense Cannot allow to happen we got to keep Tyreek Hill in front of us this entire Game because we know how explosive he is We know that this offense has already in This season put up 70 points on a team Yes 70 points they put up on the Denver Broncos we cannot allow that to happen
When we talk about being fast this is What you call track speed this team is Built for Speed and built for big Plays another play from Tyreek Hill but Guess what this team also have they have Jayen Wadd they went out they didn't get Content with who they had on the roster Chase p uh Chase clay poool became Available they said come on we need a Possession receiver we'll take another Big first rounder to add to our offense And Mike McDaniels absolutely has these Guys rolling defensively we have to go Out we have to play a complete game we Have to make sure that we're not letting These guys get behind us that we're Playing sound defense and when we come Up we have to be good in our tackles you Mentioned how fast they are how do you You beat speed if you're the defense in This game you got to have a great game Plan you got to keep these guys in front Of you you got to tell your cornerbacks Stay as deep as the deepest teams like This they don't want to Dink and dunk They don't want to do those things Continuously down the field they want Their shots they want their big plays so How do you defeat them you take those Big plays away you force them to do Things underneath and you force them to Make mistakes and you get out to the Quarterback absolutely all right we have Reviewed the film TD don't go anywhere
We got to get your three keys to the Game coming up see you soon I don't know Have you heard that Travis Kel is dating Taylor Swift does that cross your Timeline that I just know that man be Pulling all sorts of chicks man but I Heard the news and I think they cool Together they click do you think he Knows any Taylor Swift songs I think he Do do you know any Taylor Swift songs if You hey yes and here's the best part About that that's my favorite Taylor Swift song that is that was not planned That was the best all right do you have A celebrity crush like oh yeah or maybe You have a lot of celebrity crushes Where where would We my number one okay and then uh Blake Ly okay um that's that's a pretty good Top two oh yeah and then uh yeah I think I I think unfortunately right now I Think you've only picked married women So you might have to find a single woman In there I Mean they I mean sorry man that's that's I got to go with that my brother thank You this was great thanks guys keep ping Let's Go in years past a trip to Detroit would Have been considered a good way to break A slump unfortunately for the Panthers That is not the case any longer here's a Look back at our loss to the Lions and This week Bojangles
Rewind here at Ford Field the task is Pretty Herculean today Detroit's one of The better football teams in the NFL Carolina still looking for that first Win they hope to get it in Mtown Panthers on defense for the first Time the Lions come out for their first Offensive Drive David Montgomery bounces To the outside he's got room running Down the left sideline touchdown Detroit When you're playing a team like this you Have to be super Gap sound a misstep by In the Run Game young looking short it's Intercepted screen pass picked off by Hutchinson and the Lions take over Goff Throwing left side he's got leaport who Angles in for a touchdown 13 nothing Detroit Bryce young this is what you Want to see Luke he threw the Interception on the last Drive well he's Come out and he's four for four on this Drive young will throw End Zone Touchdown Tommy Trimble you talk about a Bounceback Luke keep that roll here's the snap give Us to Sanders through the left side of The line and gobbled up the ball came Out Detroit picks it up scoff throws Back of the endzone it is caught for a Touchdown that's Josh Reynolds and it's 20 to7 Detroit there been some positives But those positives have just been Blunted and erased by the turnovers
Young looking left throwing left Intercepted picked off by Detroit it's The third turnover of the first half Trick playoff Sudden Change gof to Leaport touchdown Detroit 27-7 turnovers have been the Bane for The Panthers in this first half so Detroit they'll take an 18-point lead Into the locker room this first drive Now could be a determining Factor as to If the Panthers can muster up a comeback And it's a touchdown for Detroit it's Been that kind of day 3510 Lions lead The Panthers it's just imperative the Way this season has gone get out of here With a little bit of momentum pressure From the backside and the sack by Brian Burns Corner Blitz and the sack by CJ Henderson young fires a bullet to the End zone it's DJ Char and he's got it For a touchdown Char with his second Touchdown grab is a panther this one Comes against the team that he played For last season MinGa runs a good route Convert a first down couple big catches Today but that's exactly what we brought Him in here to do th quick Out young to thielen for a Touchdown 42- 24 Panthers remain winless 0 and five Now to start the season the road does Not get easier they're on the road next Week to take on maybe the most explosive Offense the NFL has seen since the
Greatest show on Turf in the Miami Dolphins all right TD we talked a lot About the Miami Dolphins now we've got To talk about how we actually beat them So how do we do that you know it's Really simple to beat the Miami Dolphins If you ask me you have to stop these Guys from scoring points that's the one Thing that they have done so well all Season long the way that you do that Though is offensively first key point You have to take care of the football You can't give this team extra Possessions you just cannot they're Going to take advantage of the ones that They already have so we can't give them Ours as well so we have to protect the Football we can't throw interceptions we Can't fumble the football we know that's Football 101 you have to protect the Football secondly defensively we have Not created enough turnovers and which Has left us behind in the turnover Battle when you you have a a minus Margin in the turnover battle you're Usually not going to have a ton of wins And that's what we're sitting at right Now so defensively we have to do the Things necessary to take the football Away whether it's punching the football Out whether it's reading the quarterback Reacting taking the ball away those are Two keys that I know are going to be Beneficial for this team but third and
Final point we have to eliminate Tyreek Hill by getting at the T we can't allow T to be comfortable every game that he Struggled in were against teams that got A lot of pressure on him that got after Him that knocked him down that put him On the ground this is what this defense Has to do we have to get out the tour we Have to make him uncomfortable he's the Head of that snake and when you cut the Head off the snake the body is dead you Make it sound so simple hopefully the Panthers do that this weekend Unfortunately that is all the time we've Got for you remember if you're not lucky Enough to be in Miami this weekend be Sure to to tune in on Sunday at 1: p.m. On your local CBS station or you can Listen to the game on 99.7 The Fox here In Charlotte so for Thomas Davis Coach Frank Reich and the entire huddle crew Thanks for watching and we'll see you Right here next time inside the Panthers Huddle as always TD keep pounding you've Been watching the Panthers Huddle a copyrighted presentation of the Carolina Panthers and the NFL Yeah
