On the Panthers:

Shurmur on Kuechly and Davis: Very instinctive. Diagnose plays well. The highlight of the defense is the linebacking corps

On the run game:

Shurmur: When you're able to run the ball, play-action is meaningful. That helped open up some of the deep passes.

On Riley Cooper:

Coach Shurmur: Riley Cooper's baseball background helps him track down those deep throws.
