Of course, the Panthers want to get back to the kind of offense they've found success with, but guys who have been around know that's how some of these things go. When there's a problem, it tends to get addressed immediately.
"You just get in those moments when you're recapping, it's the attention to detail," center Austin Corbett said of the reflexive nature of swings like the run game has experienced. "You break down on these are the moments, so you lock in on those things, and it's a part of our learning curve as we learn to be a winning football team. What does it take week to week and not rely on the embarrassing, terrible, hurt-your-heart, break-your-feelings losses to do that for you?
"Anytime you get something called to your attention, that's where your attention's going to be. That's how you're gonna focus on it. It's all human nature."
That's why so many of the players around here, beginning but not limited to quarterback Bryce Young, talk about that "1-0 each week" mentality.
"I think it's one thing that we always try to work on as a football team," tight end Tommy Tremble said. "In the past, I feel like sometimes when we try to bounce back, it wasn't as easy, but I think the way the culture's kind of shifted in here, being able to do that, wipe a clean slate, know we're a good team, know we're good players. I think, with the coaching staff and their leadership, it's helped, it's easier for us collectively as a team to bounce back in situations like that.
"I think it's whatever we need to get done to get the win, and if that's the run game, pass game, whatever we need to do, we'll get it done."
