Charlotte, NC (Charlotte Sports Live) – The Carolina Panthers return to Indianapolis for another NFL combination next week.
They were fresh out of the year during which they did not make the playoffs, but there is a feeling now that they started to turn the area.
“We know where we are heading, we know in which direction we are heading.” The director general of Caroline, Dan Morgan, told us earlier this month.

Without a doubt, Morgan and the company have momentum after the end of the year with two victories in their last three games, but they understand to keep it, they have to play the week. It all starts with the identification of their greatest needs.
“You know the draft, it really prepares us to attack these areas on the front of the defense and just the defense as a whole,” said Morgan.
Holes, yes. Last year, there were many on this side of the ball for Carolina. The unit of the coordinator Ejiro Evero finished 26th in bags, second for the creation of reversals, and died last by reversal points.
Panthers need a rusher on board. But there is also a reason to deal with their lack of depth in the secondary, the tackle and the cornerback.
“We are looking for passionate football players and game leaders on both sides of the ball. You know guys who can make games, “said Morgan.
We are so happy that you said that Dan, because there is also a lot of room for improving this side of the ball. You have a quarter but you still need a wide receiver, not to mention, potentially a ball carrier with Miles Sanders probably leaving.
“We are just going to try to get better in each avenue and try to create as much competition as possible,” said Morgan.
After a season in which they abandoned a record number of points to their opposition, the pressure is on. As if they needed recall, the NFL draft is only two months old.
