Carolina Panthers' Week 1 loss highlights defensive struggles. Is Ejiro Evero's role as defensive coordinator at risk? 

Host Julian Council answers mailbag questions focused on the Panthers' disappointing loss to Jacksonville. The conversation covers Bryce Young's difficulties, Dave Canales' coaching decisions, and the limited playing time for young defensive players. 

Council answers questions about the team's defensive issues, questioning why veterans like Nick Scott receive full snaps while rookies sit on the bench. Major topics include the Panthers' rushing defense allowing over 200 yards for the seventh consecutive game, Canales' tough decision-making history, and prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft quarterback class. 

Tune in for a detailed look at the Panthers' future and whether changes are necessary to improve their season.
