Trevin Wallace key part of a major improvement from the Panthers’ defense

For the second week in a row, the Carolina Panthers held an opponent to less than 100 yards rushing. On Sunday at Charlotte, Ejiro Evero’s defense limited the Dallas Cowboys’ ground attack to a mere 31 yards. Combine that with the fact that the Panthers limited the Dolphins to 19 rushing yards in their 27-24 comeback win over Miami and that’s a combined 50 yards by opponents the past two weeks.

So why the big difference? “Through the first four weeks, (Christian) Rozeboom had called the plays,” explained Kassidy Hill of Panthers.com. “He was a veteran who had played in Ejiro Evero's system before in Los Angeles, so when Josey Jewell was released, it made sense to give the elder player the green dot. But after four weeks of play, in an effort to shake things up and ease some pressure, Evero and linebacker coach Pete Hansen elected to make a change, having (Trevin) Wallace call the plays.”
