The Weekly Wednesday Mailbag is back! Julian Council answers listeners' questions, focusing on what he's confident will happen during the Panthers' 2026 season and what he's less sure about this fall. Questions also center on Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero and whether this will be the year his defense rises to the NFL's top tier and positions him for a head coaching opportunity. Also, Bryce Young is under the microscope heading into his fourth season as the Panthers' starting quarterback, yet there's been little discussion of Young coming out of Training Camp. Is this concerning? Tune in as Julian answers the most pressing questions from Panthers Nation! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!HomeChefFor a limited time, Home Chef is offering my listeners FIFTY PERCENT OFF and free shipping for your first box PLUS free dessert for life!
