Panthers stock report: Better QB play, but pass protection, short-yardage running struggle

New York Times  

Bryce Young conceded that putting points on the board Friday against the New York Giants felt good — and represented an improvement over last week when the Carolina Panthers were shut out by the NFL’s other New York/New Jersey entry. “We understand it’s been a limited amount of passes but we try to treat those passes like it’s the last one we’re gonna get — especially in the preseason since it’s so limited.” GO DEEPER Panthers 53-man roster projection: Will Scott Fitterer look for offensive line help? “Whatever coach Reich wants me to do and thinks is gonna be best for me and the team, that’s what I’m gonna do.” Without further ado, The Athletic’s stock report from Friday’s game at MetLife Stadium: Three up Matt Corral The second-year quarterback had his best game in a Panthers uniform. After failing to lead a scoring drive in seven possessions last week against the New York Jets, Corral guided an eight-play, 75-yard drive Friday that culminated with the Panthers’ first touchdown of the preseason. A week after giving up two hits on Young against the Jets, Ekwonu gave up two more Friday, including a sack by Kayvon Thibodeaux that helped short-circuit the first-team offense’s best drive of the preseason.
