Biggest takeaways from Panthers’ preseason opener vs. Jets

After letting the Jets run off almost seven minutes of game clock to open the contest, the offensive line would proceed to put their own damper on Bryce Young’s highly-anticipated debut.

Young took on a pair of hard hits in his very first drive—getting smushed by defensive end Solomon Thomas and later smashed by linebacker Jermaine Johnson. His day would end two possessions later, when lineman Quinton Jefferson got home for a sack on a third-and-4 try.

The group would close the sluggish half allowing two more sacks of backup Matt Corral.

While the Jets are particularly deep upfront, this wasn’t exactly an encouraging performance for a group being tasked with protecting a very valuable investment.
