Monroe Freeling’s response to an early sack and Bryce Young’s growing connection with Brad Idzik offer two reasons for encouragement about Carolina’s offense.
Mike Gitkos starts with Freeling’s NFL debut: 41 pass-blocking snaps, 29 one-on-one situations and the importance of learning from mistakes. One game does not settle the rookie right tackle’s future, but his response against Chicago gives Carolina something to build on.
Then, Bryce’s praise for Idzik’s collaborative approach, the importance of sideline dialogue and why communication between quarterback and play-caller matters. After Bryce’s 361 passing yards and four total touchdowns against the Bears, consistency against Atlanta is the next test.
