“That’s exactly what we need to see,” Canales said. “Monroe needs it. Rasheed needs it. When we stepped back today, we did little more than Bryce stretching out and making a couple plays.” The (Texans’) rush was phenomenal. And that’s exactly the information we need to be able to regroup.” Young also threw a pair of interceptions, making for a frustrating day for the first offense. And like Canales, he urged the prospect guy to take it as a data point rather than an illustration of camp as a whole. Considering they started camp without starting tackles Ikem Ekwonu and Taylor Moton, the group has held up reasonably well. Walker is a good pass protector (a three-year starter at left for the pass-happy Packers), and first-rounder Freeling has played well for most of camp, despite switching from his natural left side to the right. But after a day in which the offense struggled to get things going, it was easy to draw a line between protection and a lack of sustained movement. Young still has confidence in his guys, but he knows he needs to be better across the board, and that includes himself, as he admitted he needed to improve after a back-foot interception. when looking for Tetairoa. “Again, I think there are a lot of great tapes that we can learn,” Young said. “There are a lot of lessons out there. I think we will only be better from a day like this. You know, it’s going to hurt and it sucks in the moment. We are all competitors. “But again, it’s training camp; it’s always about not being too high, not too low. We have great days in practice, you can’t overreact; on bad days you can’t overreact. You have to be consistent and be willing to grow from everything.” The Panthers have a lot to deal with after this one.
