More offensive line shuffling could be ahead

— While the bye-week break was nice for all the players after 12 straight weeks of football, defensive end Morgan Fox admitted Monday the timing wasn’t perfect.

The Panthers are coming off allowing 60 points in the previous two games, not the kind of football they’re used to playing. They’re still second in the league in total defense (in terms of yards per game), but the recent trend has not been positive.

“As a competitor, it’s always frustrating when you put things that are uncharacteristic on tape and on the field,” Fox said. “It’s one or two things, a little mistake here, a little mistake there, and it adds up. And we’re all guilty of it. And sitting over the bye week, you definitely think of what could we have done better, what could I have done better in these situations.

“It definitely sits on your conscience a little bit, but it’s the next week, and we have to see how to improve and attack the next week.”
