Bryce Young, Dave Canales respond to controversial play from Panthers camp

After calling it a day early, Dave Canales spoke to the media about the controversial play. He said, "A really close one, a great rush. Exactly why he's here is to be able to affect the passer. Just kind of came around the corner and nicked Bryce on the arm and the ball comes out, that's not what we want to see."

He did say, however, that he does want to see the "first part" of the play in which Umanmielen beat the line and got pressure on the quarterback. "Just be smart at the top," Canales added. "This is all of us, we gotta take care of each other at that moment... That's something we had to talk about."

Bryce Young, fittingly, was also asked about it. He just said there's an "etiquette" in football that a young player (Umanmielen is 23 and in his very first NFL season) just needed to be reminded about as camp got underway.

Young, for his credit, was very much not upset, saying with a smile, "I didn't even have to say anything. That's competition, it's football. Obviously, there's some etiquette stuff in football, young guy getting after it, his first day in training camp. And shoot, we want to see those plays on Sunday. He's a competitor, we're all competitors." He added that the team wants to take care of each other, adding that he loves that Umanmielen is on his team and that they're all going to get better together.

Umanmielen, for what it's worth, seems to have gotten the message, as he even responded to a fan online screaming at him about the play, acknowledging some fault with a quick emoji tweet. There's just no need to risk an injury to the most important arm on the team on July 23.
