Right you've been back in practice this Week um we just talked to Thomas and he Talked about how this is the best he's Seen you energy wise and enthusiasm wise You know getting back into things and Kind of seeing everything so what has What's been the biggest benefit for you With that week to see the game from a Different perspective yeah um you know It's again just being able to be in a Different perspective and um being able To learn as much as I can from the Sidelines um um you know it was again it Was just a good perspective to have and Um that's just something that's been a Point of emphasis for us um as a team You know obviously um not having to Start we want so you know we have to EMP Emphasize things we have to improve and You know just you know urgency um you Know control making sure we're executing Um and that starts in in walkthrough Starts in practice um so that's really Just been a point of emphasis for for Everyone um and as you know the Quarterback as a leader I you know I Have to go in um and and make sure that I um you know make sure that I I I go And try to lead just like everyone else Is um so you know I was just trying to Do my part in that and I feel like you Know as a whole um you know we've Improved in that but we we have to keep Doing it Bryce you dealt with an injury
Last year and had a missing game what Did you learn from that experience that You took into this experience in week Three yeah um that whether it you know If you're missing a practice you're Missing the game it's not just a mental Break it's not just a all right I'm you Know I'm now I'm just watching as a fan Um you know you still try to play the Game from the sidelines um you know you Still try to do everything you can to Help the team um do everything you can To to help um you know in this case to Help to help Andy and and um you know to Just try to communicate as much as Possible and then um throughout the week Still go through the same preparation Still um you know still look through and Watch the same amount of stuff just to Keep yourself in that routine so just Being consistent and making sure that um Even though I wasn't able to play um Still was able to get something out of The week do you know when you were Injured against the uh no I'm I'm I'm Honestly I don't was it something that After the game you you like when did you First feel like you were hurt yeah um You know after after the game was um you Know kind of when it when it all came About and any thought that Turf may have Contributed uh no my my I haven't Thought about that at All what what I mean just the pain is
When we watch you walking out there There's there's no limp so is there is This a situational situation where if You turn one way that's when it starts To feel pain what was that pain like um You know it's just you know it's a part Of the game you know um you know it's a Part of it um and you know for me it was Just just listening to the to the Training staff um you know they Obviously they they know all the you Know I'm I I try to do everything I can To know the football side and I'm just In the same way that they know you know They they know the body they know the Medical side of it um so that was just You know that was just the the decision That was that was that was you know that Was made I I trust them uh know it was The right thing um so you know I I I Kind of I don't really know all the Specifics you know I know the I know What what you know I know what happened But I I know again what it as far as um You know the decision was exactly what It what it should have been so um you Know for me it's just focusing on the Game there was a lot of you had a bunch Of you had a bunch of Chunk plays uh Last week with and a quarterback is There anything you picked up on that you Know maybe you can use going forward Yeah um doing him doing a great job of Of finding him um and executing um and
You know great calls as well and um you Know I think again as a whole as a as a Whole just the unit uh offense did some Obviously did some did some great things Um you know and you know for me just Being able to see it and and learn from It um and um you know it was it was good To see it from another's perspective and To take it and you know I'm always Trying to learn I'm always trying to Grow um and just being able to watch Everything um again there's stuff for us To build off of that um you know I'm Going to you know me and myself and the Entire unit we're going to go and build Off of and stuff we have to improve as Well so you know I think it's it's just Trying to keep building Bryce Frank said That Andy came to him and there were Certain plays that he liked a lot that Kind of got emphasized in that game do You sort of compare the list of plays Andy likes plays you like at the end of Each week just to kind of see what the Differences are yeah well it's not you Know it's not really too much of a hey I Have these group of plays um you know Andy has this group of plays um you know J last week has this group of plays it's It's a it's a it's a discussion you know We all talk about things we all bring Things to the table for a reason we have There's open conversations dialogue and You know of course there's some plays
That you know just just naturally you Know we all lean towards more we might See better feel more comfortable with Whatever it may be um but it's not as Black as white is like this is one call Sheet this is the other um you know um I You know there's stuff that I've had Experience with and don't have Experience with but I still come in you Know I come in with open mind we all do And we all you know we watch the film um We talk about specific looks that we Want talk about answers and things like That um so you know I think it's more so Just you know when stuff is brought to The table obviously there's thought Behind it um there there's a reason so It's just just us kind of trying to you Know us figuring that out and trying to Do our best to execute those costs on That I mean were there things you saw Sunday where it kind of made you think Differently about you know the way you Go into a week and things you might lean Toward or not um you know I think again When when you have whenever you see Stuff on film and you watch you know You're able to put it on put it on film And see examples it always helps with With certain things um but you know I Think we all have the same approach and You know I don't think that's something That changes you know we all again we're Open to stuff you know at the end of the
End of the week we fill things out um You know stuff gets added stuff get cuts Out uh gets cut out I think that happens You know everywhere but um you know I Think it was the same approach um last Week so I think again just trying to Hone in on that process is kind of a Point of empasis for Me nobody's 100% healthy at this point In the year I'm just wondering compared To without putting a number on it what's The difference from last week are there Any limitations for you this week yeah No I feel great yeah yeah feel great I'm Not sure if you I mean have you been on The team that's ever lost three games in A row um I mean I don't think you know I Think in regardless and I don't think Really the past you know I think it Again it's a new situation it's a new Season that because you know when you're Used to to winning and being on teams Winning I'm curious how you're Processing this start of your career um You know having it not gone particular How you or anyone planned yeah um you Know I think you have to again you do Have to process it and and and Understand it for what it is but you Know at the end of the day you know as Of course obviously it's not the start We want but it's nothing we can change Now so um for me and you know I've said A lot but with good or bad um you know
You have to figure out what's next and You have to be able to accept that and Move on and try to be constructive with It and um you know it hasn't been too Much of a you know there's no dwelling On it there's no um you know what about This what about that cuz at the end of The day it's not going to not going to Accomplish anything um and you know we We we have to earn the right to to win a Game we have to earn earn everything and You know especially you know who we're Playing this week um you know we have to We have to earn that and if we spend Time thinking about what could have um What we wish could have how you know if We spend that you know we have to do Everything we can and make sure we're Prepared so um you know whether it's you Know week in and week out we have to Turn the page we have to take you know We have to learn from what happened and You know we have to you know figure out How we can build and be better and grow But we have to turn the page and um you Know especially in this league you have To be constructive you have to keep Moving forward um so I think that's That's that's really where my mindset And all of our mindsets are from this Perspective from the perspective of this Week when you're facing a team that Sends an extra guy to pretty often how Important is your processing ability at
The line of scrimmage pre- snap yeah um You know definitely important um as I Feel like it always is um you know that That's a big part of big part of the Position in my opinion um you know Processing be able to see stuff and you Know That that's something also that I lean a Lot on on my coaches with and teammates And you know again we we we meet for a While we talk about things and just Being able to lean on you know the the Stuff we're looking for we're trying to We're trying to see we're trying to do We're trying to accomplish and execute Um just being able to get as many you Know mental reps as you can of that and Put yourself through it and then um Again trying to you know spend as much Time internalizing it so you know when Things do happen you can apply in a game Do you agree with Thomas that yesterday Was your best practice here overall and Specifically bringing the energy um I Don't really know if that's for me to Judge um you know again we we talked About you know we talked about you know Increasing and just in practice our Energy and our Tempo and um you know That's something that's been a point of Emphasis so I definitely did take it to Heart um you know as you know we all do Whenever coach Reich or TB goes up and And and talks you know we we all take
That stuff to heart so that was Definitely a point of emphasis and you Know I was just trying to do my my best To do that and you know I think we did Good things but you know there's stuff To clean up and we have to keep doing it And we have to keep growing and building And you know if it's a good practice you Know that's that's great um but that Doesn't doesn't mean anything you know It doesn't doesn't entitle you to Anything and you can't hang your head Off for good you know you have to keep Building um so you know I don't I don't Know if it's for for me to you know me To decide that but you know it's Definitely something that we want to Keep keep building on R there a lot of Questions about your durability uh During the draft process how does that Potentially drive you to to come back so Fast B from an injury so that can't be Used against you yeah um it doesn't Doesn't drive me at all um you know Again good or bad what people are going To say you know it's it's out of my Control everyone you know people have Are going to have opinions good and bad And I think again that's the beauty of Sports it's it's great we get to have Conversations and people that are Passionate and Care get to get to Express that um but for me I I can't Control that um you know I don't it's
Not something I think about um Ultimately I care about you know I care About the opinions of the people in this Building I care about um you know my Teammates and coaches um and I trust Everyone here um so that's who's you Know whose opinions and when they speak That's you know who I who I listen to And um you know again one way or another I can't control what what people say or Think so um doesn't dictate any my Actions and Frank said you were trending Towards being the starter any reason That think you won't be out there Starting from what you've seen so far Yes that that that one's that's not my Call Either Bryce um you know you gotten to Know Adam th over last few months Um how much motivation do you think he Will have on Sunday playing against his Former Team yeah I mean obviously um you know His whole tenure being there um before This um you know obviously it's it's you Know you know you always want to go and And and make a great impression but Honestly you see him throughout the week He attacks every week like that um you Know and it it's been no different this Week but he always has that intensity That drive he's a very Fierce competitor Um wants to win and you know not just Wants to win on Sunday but wants to win

It’s easy to get involved in the community with a variety of festivals, shows, and sporting events throughout the year.
From food and wine festivals to music and film showcases, you can find something to do in Charlotte every day of the year. The city is also known for its annual celebrations of the seasons—with amazing spring and fall foliage.
With so many activities, it’s no surprise that Charlotte is one of the fastest growing cities in the country. However, relocating to a new city can seem daunting at first. It’s important to consider school information, research the cost of living, choose your neighborhood carefully and plan for essential tasks that need to be completed upon moving in.
The city is also home to two of the deadliest stretches of road in the state, which means you will need to be prepared for bad drivers and traffic. Luckily, public transportation is a growing aspect of the city. Residents can utilize the CATS bus and streetcar system or the LYNX light rail to get around the city. This is a great way to avoid the hassle of driving in Charlotte and to reduce your carbon footprint.
