Panther Nation Podcast

Panthers 3-5 Nov 11, 2026 1:23:16 The Panthers fell to 3-5 with a 26-21 loss to Denver — and yes, the officiating was questionable. But Carolina missed a 43-yard field goal, kicked a kickoff out of bounds, threw 13 flags for 119 yards, and called a pass on first-and-goal from the 1-yard line that got intercepted. We break down how this game was given away, why Todd Wash's debut as defensive coordinator was actually encouraging, ho

Evero Is Gone Nov 4, 2026 1:02:30 The Panthers made the first coordinator firing of the NFL season, parting ways with defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero and defensive passing game coordinator Jonathan Cooley after Thursday's 27-19 loss at Green Bay.

Why The Panthers Run Defense Keeps Breaking Oct 28, 2026 1:05:42 The Panthers got embarrassed 43-13 by Tampa Bay — on the day they honored Luke Kuechly. Baker Mayfield threw 11 passes for 64 yards and still won by 30, something no NFL team had done on the road since 1958. We break down the Evero stat that should worry everyone, why the league's most expensive offensive line just gave up five sacks, Taylor Moton's brutal injury, and whether this team can respond

Carolina Is Alone In First Oct 21, 2026 1:17:35 The Panthers have now held back-to-back opponents under 50 rushing yards — and they're 3-2 and alone in first place in the NFC South. We break down the 25-14 win in Philadelphia, including the 14-play, 92-yard drive that showed this team can close a game out instead of surviving a comeback.

Taylor Moton & Tershawn Wharton Are Coming Back Oct 14, 2026 56:39 The Panthers didn't play a snap last week and still had one of their best Sundays of the season. The Saints and Falcons both lost, and Carolina now sits alone atop the NFC South at 2-2.

Panthers UPSET The Lions On Sunday Night Oct 7, 2026 1:17:58 The worst run defense in football just held Jahmyr Gibbs and the Lions to 46 rushing yards — on Sunday Night Football — without Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Jalen Coker, Xavier Legette and three starting offensive linemen.

Jaycee Horn Out Indefinitely | A Flag Cost Us The Game Oct 1, 2026 1:32:28 A brutal Sunday in Cleveland. The Panthers were up 18-13 with 2:29 to go and had the game-clinching interception — until a roughing the passer flag wiped it out. Cleveland scored, Carolina fell 21-18, and then the injury news got worse: Jaycee Horn is out 6-12 weeks with a torn quad. We break down how the game got away, the full injury picture, the corner crisis, stock up and stock down, and updat

Panthers Crush Falcons 34-3 Sep 23, 2026 1:10:41 One week after giving up a franchise-record 59 points, the Panthers defense held Atlanta to 3. Five takeaways, a Devin Lloyd pick-six, zero rushing touchdowns allowed, and a 34-3 win. We break down the turnaround, run through the full stock up / stock down, update the Evero hot seat meter and the Bryce Young extension meter, cover the Jonathon Brooks and Pat Jones injury news, and preview Sunday

59 Points??? | Evero Hot Seat Watch, Bryce Extension Watch & Week 1 Stock Report Sep 16, 2026 1:02:56 Is Ejiro Evero on the hot seat after surrendering 291 rushing yards, six rushing touchdowns and 10 third-down conversions? We put a number on it. Then: where does the Bryce Young extension conversation stand after he threw for 361 yards and four total touchdowns? We put a number on that too.

The Starting Offense Was UGLY vs Buffalo Aug 19, 2026 1:18:49 The Panthers laid an egg in Buffalo — the starting offense put up 12 yards and zero first downs in a 29-14 loss to the Bills. But there's a lot more to this story than the box score. We break down why the offense struggled (hint: it's the offensive line)

Hall of Fame Game Recap: Haynes King's Walk-Off, Bryce's Best Camp and A Real Position Battle Aug 12, 2026 1:17:10 Football is back — and the Panthers opened the preseason with a walk-off win in Canton. We're recapping the Hall of Fame Game, including a debut nobody saw coming, before getting into the storyline that matters most all season: multiple beat reporters say Bryce Young is having his best training camp yet.

Panthers Camp: Horn's BACK, Brooks in PADS & Fists Fly! Jul 29, 2026 1:14:58 Pads came on for the first time in 2026 and Day 4 of Panthers training camp gave us a little bit of everything: good injury news, a couple of new bumps, a 7-on-7 scuffle, and some genuinely exciting player development.

The Panthers Could Start The Season Without BOTH Tackles Jul 22, 2026 1:14:31 Training camp opened this week with tough news: veteran right tackle Taylor Moton was diagnosed with a blood clot in his lung in late June, is on blood thinners, and will start camp on the reserve/NFI list — expected to miss the start of the regular season.

ANOTHER Panther in the NFL Top 100 Jul 15, 2026 52:19 Dave goes solo to discuss the latest Panthers news and other topics.

The Panthers' Ceiling Comes Down To THESE Questions Jul 8, 2026 1:20:53 Training camp is almost here — so before the pads come on, we're going position by position and asking the one question that matters most at each spot. Is Bryce Young a franchise QB or a game manager? Who actually plays left tackle Week 1? Can this defense finally rush the passer? Is there ANY depth behind Devin Lloyd? We're breaking down the biggest question mark at every single position on the r

Panthers 53-Man Roster Projection: Who Makes It, Who Gets CUT Jul 1, 2026 1:32:36 Training camp is almost here — and the first real 53-man roster projection is out. Who makes the cut? Who's the surprise name on the outside looking in? We're going position by position. Plus: ESPN handed Carolina a B for its offseason (and the move they "disliked" might surprise you), two Panthers landed on the trade block, and Tetairoa McMillan became the THIRD Panther on the NFL Top 100.

On the surface, it's a payday for an undrafted breakout. But underneath, this might be Dan Morgan's most strategic move of the entire offseason — and it has massive implications for Tetairoa McMillan's next extension, Xavier Legette's future on the roster, and Chris Brazzell II's development timeline.

Bryce, Phillips & Canales Speak | Panthers Minicamp Opens Jun 11, 2026 1:09:23 Bryce Young, Chris Brazzell II, and Xavier Legette went on a WILD offseason bonding trip — and one of them was on a horse. Yes, really. Mandatory minicamp opened today, and we got press conferences from Dave Canales, Bryce Young, AND Jaelan Phillips.

Jaelan Phillips Already Looks Like A STEAL At Panthers OTAs Jun 3, 2026 1:06:03 Myles Garrett is a Ram. A.J. Brown is a Patriot. Two superstars moved on the same day — and the NFL just got turned upside down. We're breaking down what BOTH trades mean for the Carolina Panthers' 2026 outlook, why Dan Morgan is staying quiet during the chaos, and how Jaelan Phillips is already looking like the best free-agent signing of the entire offseason at OTAs.

Panthers OTAs Open | Which Rookies Are Pushing For Starting Jobs May 28, 2026 1:06:12 OTAs open for the Carolina Panthers — and the roster math is officially getting real.
