Kelli, Al and Kevin are back this week from the bye to talk about the Panthers' unbelievable performance in London, how to keep up with the Jones' - or the Brees' - in New Orleans and why they'll face their toughest task of the season when they head west to take on the undefeated 49ers.

But the strength of this defense, how their able to turn mistake into opportunities and why they're succeeding at the only stat that matters is why they think they can go out to San Fran and come back with the win and the attention of the rest of the NFC.

They'll talk Kevin's neck roll, why depth matters, why Luke didn't go for a score, lifting weight as an eight year old and you'll want to hear which former teammate got fined EVERY SINGLE WEEK for being overweight.

Al Wallace and Kevin Donnalley are back to celebrate the Panthers first home win in almost a year - they'll talk about how having a guy like CMC MVP running can motivate an offensive line and demoralize a defensive line, Kevin gives a lesson in zone blocking and then takes a look at how Dennis Daley performed in his first start.

Al talks how Brian Burns is heading towards being an award winner himself, how Mario Addison put Andrew Norwell on skates and what it meant to him to be around the four guys being inducted into the Hall of Honor on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium - with a special look at who Steve Smith was through the lens of a former teammate.

And then Kevin Donnalley tells a hilarious story about what happens when two kids - including Smitty's son - start to rumble in the locker room after Fan Fest.....Lil' Smitty vs. Lil' Donnalley is NOT a story you want to miss. 

Oh, and the Twister. Always the Twister.

Al, Kelli and Kevin  are back again this week to break down the Panthers second win in a row, why you shouldn't panic about Kyle Allen's tendency to fumble, but maybe his tendency to get to deep in the pocket because some of those sack-fumbles can't go on the offensive line. Kevin will use his experience and expertise to break down Greg Little's first start and what he liked from Daryl Williams on the inside. 

Then Al Wallace will tell you how he went from a 185-pound wide receiver to a 250-pound defensive end in the span of a year and wearing #86 to wearing #56 in the span of 24 hours - Kevin talks greased pigs and protecting Chris Chandler while he couldn't even see.

And they can't leave out Mario Addison and this incredibly efficient and effective Panthers defensive line after the past two weeks of racking up 14 sacks. Plus Eric Reid, Christian McCaffrey and much more on this episode of The Carolina Line!

Al Wallace and Kevin Donnalley are back this week to celebrate a VICTORY MONDAY for the first time in over 250 days! 

They'll talk why it wasn't just Kyle Allen, Curtis Samuel, and Greg Olsen that won them the game in Arizona - it was the lines on both sides of the ball that won them the game.

Why will a tackle rotation allow Greg Little to get better faster? Why did Daryl Williams throw himself on the sword on the left side of the line? How did a defensive line rotation make it easier for guys like Al to get sacks when he was in the league? Where do eight sacks come from?

Then the guys will talk about power, counter, Van Roten, Turner, Moton and how they moved the bodies around to make things easier for Kyle Allen and - of course - Christian McCaffrey and exactly what Norv Turner is setting up for later in the season.

They'll also look ahead to the problems that Deshaun Foster - we mean Watson - will create for the Panthers and how they can take this win streak from one to two.

Al Wallace and Kevin Donnalley are here to talk you off the ledge - the season is not over only two weeks into the NFL season. But they'll talk about why it's hard to coach superstars, what the difference between practice and game reps are like and how to mentor the young folks. 

Al will detail why - from a defensive linemen's perspective - Cam Newton isn't quite as hard to prepare for as he used to be and why guys like Shaq Barrett were able to come screaming off the edge with ease. If the Panthers are going to be successful, it's going to start with Cam's legs; and no one is going to be sad to see "Happy Cam" in the huddle. They'll talk Greg Little vs. Daryl Williams vs. Taylor Moton, what the keys to the Cards matchup is on Sunday and how the Panthers can make Cam's life easier.

Then Kevin will talk about how he kicked another player in the jaw on the field, how a sewing needle worked it's way into an NFL pileup - for real, and what it looks like when the league is going to fine you --- oh, and Al Wallace choking people out on special teams.

Al Wallace and Kevin Donnalley are back this week to talk some in-depth breakdowns of the Panthers 30-27 loss to the Rams and what exactly happened on the offensive line to allow those clean sacks and why Al could tell what was about to happen before it happened.

They'll talk about why their encouraged about the big guys up front, how they expect Cam to bounce back - even after a little bit of kryptonite - and why they expect the Panthers to win in a big way on Thursday night over the Bucs. And Kevin Donnalley reveals why Bill Romanowski doesn't want to see him at the airport - and exactly what kind of player he was when he was still in the league.

Al and Kevin are here to talk about who should have made the 53-man roster, whether they agree with the moves -- and what it's actually like to get cut by an NFL team.

They'll talk Gano vs. Slye, why a year on the practice squad might actually be BETTER for Elijah Holyfield than being buried on the depth chart and who's going to return punts come next Sunday - here's a hint, it's someone who just joined the team in the past 48 hours. When you're getting younger and faster, you're going to end up cutting some veterans and that's exactly what happened in Carolina.

They'll also talk about how you can stop Todd Gurley (Kevin has some dirty ideas), whether they'll need to steal from New England and you won't like what the phrase 'tuck and dunk' means when you hear it.

You know they'll do some reminiscing about their 23 years of NFL experience, too - why running 60 yards on a kickoff required oxygen afterwards, what it was like giving up a sack in your first game and they'll announce a change to The Carolina Line that's both exciting and sad at the same time.

Kevin Donnalley and Al Wallace are here to talk the Panthers performance in New England, what it's like to suffer through injuries and their thoughts on  Andrew Luck's shocking retirement. Then they'll talk roster battles and why Kevin thinks Reggie Bonnafon is going to make the team as the third running back.

Why was the timing and execution off? Al has some thoughts on why the pass rush isn't quite there aside from Spider-Man and Kevin thinks the offense can crank their play to ten once the regular season rolls around - but tries to tamper the fans' expectations in terms of jumping out of the gate undefeated.

All that, plus Baby Gate in Houston, why Kevin was on the sidelines in a towel - seriously - and your vocab lesson this week is the nine parts of the wide receiver route tree. Plus, what happened when 6-5, 276 pound Al Wallace ran his one and only pass route in the NFL and then Tedy Bruschi made him paid for it.

Kevin Donnalley and Al Wallace are back to talk about why the Panthers weren't focused enough against the Bills and what the repercussions might be for the entirety of the team - not just the quarterbacks. Is it time to bring in a vet to help?

While most of the starters on the offensive line had a good showing, Donnalley uses his experience to tell you why Taylor Moton struggled, then Al Wallace tells you how challenging it can be as a defender when the coaches bring you a vanilla defensive gameplan. 

That, plus a Patriots preview, why the third game is the most important of the preseason, two gruesome injury stories from their playing days that will have Stormy thinking twice about every complaining again and your first Vocabulary Lesson of the season where Al and Kevin go in-depth on stunts, twists, turns, nuts and more - let's get smarter together and make your friends feel dumb at the bar on Sundays.

Al Wallace and Kevin Donnalley are back to discuss what they did and didn't like up front in the Panthers 23-13 Preseason win in Chicago, why the barstool technique doesn't work if the guys up front don't have the right bodies, how impressed they were with the confidence and instincts of Brian Burns, and how much they can tell from a vanilla scheme in the first preseason game against backups.

Then, they'll flip over to the offensive line and talk about whether or not Dennis Daley and Greg Little look like they're ready for the NFL - they won't forget about the skill positions, Al reveals that he might be a #Bonnafan and Kevin Donnalley takes you inside the Panthers halftime locker room and reveals the message that Norv Turner instilled in his position players - and why it worked.

Plus, Terry Godwin's gut, 6-5, 276 pound Al Wallace's kick returning skills, and why you should never try to advance a fumble if you're an offensive lineman.
