Quick Hits: Simplifying the Game, Generating Explosives, Injury Updates + More

Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich met with the media Wednesday afternoon.

Getting more explosive plays

"We got to be better as coaches. We got to be better in putting our guys in position to make explosive plays. I am really encouraged as I said the other day, I think the pass game looked pretty good this past week and there's a lot of good things in there to build on. I think we're headed in the right direction."

How to get the run game going this week 

"Miles [Sanders] came out of the game with a little something [shoulder], so we'll see how he progresses this week. Miles is a pretty tough guy, so I'm not predetermining anything at this point but I don't mind telling you I don't think Miles is going to practice today."

If the staff gave Bryce Young too much stuff at once

"Every coach would tell you when you're 0-5...what's the answer? Do more? No. The answer is do less. Every coach. The history of the NFL. Do less. Does that mean you gave him too much? Maybe, maybe not. I don't know the answer to that. I just know we got to get better. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again."

Injury update on Jaycee Horn and Xavier Woods

"Making very good progress. I don't want to put a timetable on them but really encouraged with Jaycee's progress and Xavier. I would say they're both ahead of schedule."
