Carolina's rookie head coach shares how the defensive unit is working under new leadership.
no choice but to start rookie linebacker Trevin Wallace, who was their most-promising defender during training camp.
Who will start next to Wallace with Josey Jewell also out this week is another question, but the most-critical element for Carolina's defense tomorrow against the Chicago Bears will be how the defense performs in their first game with Wallace as their leader and playcaller. The x-factor there will be communication. Here's what head coach Dave Canales had to say about that dynamic on Friday.Dave Canales says the communication has gotten better all week .
Wallace was undeniably impressive at times during camp, especially in the ball skills department. He racked up several interceptions in August,However, as Bryce Young's impressive touchdown drive against the Buffalo Bills in the team's preseason finale so helpfully reminded us, nothing that happens during training camp and the preseason matters once you step onto a field during a live regular season game. Wallace will inevitably have a welcome-to-the-NFL-rookie moment or two.
