Panthers’ offense thriving under new play caller Brad Idzik 4 games into the season

Carolina Panthers' offense is thriving under new play caller Brad Idzik, who took over the duties just four games into the season. The team, currently 2-2, has seen significant improvement, ranking first in the league in passing yards per game (301.3) and scoring points per game (30.3). Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan lauded Idzik for putting players in the right positions and being open to player suggestions.

Quarterback Bryce Young, on pace for nearly 5,400 yards with 38 touchdowns, is gaining momentum under Idzik's leadership. Coach Dave Canales, who missed the rush of calling plays, praised Idzik's balance of run-pass options, play actions, and bubble screens, as well as his speed in relaying calls to Young. The bye week provides the Panthers an opportunity for key players to heal and return for their next game against the Philadelphia Eagles on October 18.
