00:00Doc, let's get to an interesting one out in Vegas where, you know, I don't know if a six

00:08score does a little bump now that Bryce Young hits the bench, but I know that we have a

00:14very injured Carolina team and they do not grade favorably by you guys heading into this

00:20game against Vegas.

00:22A 10 point, if I can call it a point gap here between Vegas and Carolina.

00:28What are you seeing here, Doc?

00:30Look, guys, we just deal in health, health and injuries, which side is healthier, which

00:35side is more injured.

00:37Like in terms of the scheme and news, we let guys like you and the fans of the public judge

00:42what Andy Dalton's effect is better or worse, whatever it is versus Bryce Young.

00:48But we can tell you that arguably the three best defenders for the Carolina Panthers,

00:54one at each level, Derrick Brown, the linebacker in the corner are out and that's significant.

00:59Can Andy Dalton rally them?

01:01I mean, that's a different question, but we just go by injuries to help you do the handicapping.

01:08Let me ask you quickly, Doc, before I get off of this game here, Jonathan Brooks, the

01:11rookie drafted out of Texas Carolina, no matter who's behind center is going to be looking

01:16for offensive guys to step up.

01:18They're hoping that that can be Jonathan Brooks, who's currently on IR.

01:22How are you guys viewing his outlook when he returns for Carolina?

01:26Well, you know, in the preseason injury preview, we had a very low six score for him.

01:31We expected the injury reserve.

01:32Look, coming off an ACL is hard enough, but he's being asked to jump a level of play from

01:37college to the NFL.

01:38We're not expecting a lot.

01:40Maybe there's a boost second half late season, but we're not expecting a lot from him this year.
