Through 11 weeks of the NFL season, the Carolina Panthers are the worst team in the league, sitting at 1-9. The Panthers struggles are largely related to a lackluster roster, devoid of depth and filled with failed free-agent signings. So, who is to blame for the roster construction? Is this on Panthers GM Scott Fitterer or should head coach Frank Reich bear the brunt of the blame?

The Panthers offensive line has been a major issue this season as the Panthers have allowed 39 sacks, fourth-most in the NFL. One of the primary figures who has struggled in 2022 first-round pick Ickey Ekwonu. Is it time to move Ekwonu to left guard? If so, how would the rest of the offensive line shake out? Does there need to be a full rebuild of this unit in the offseason?

The Panthers have long been known for their defensive prowess. With a focus on fixing the offense, how will the Panthers be able to retain key defensive players and maintain a balanced roster in the future?

Julian Council answers these listeners' questions and more in this week's edition of the Weekly Wednesday Mailbag on Locked On Panthers.
