James, the Panthers are coming off into a 2-0 situation coming into tonight.

We know their defense has been lights out.

What can we expect from Carolina's offense and Christian McCaffrey, Mr. 22?

Yeah, let's start with Christian McCaffrey.

I talked to wide receiver DJ Morque this week.

He said in four years, there's really nothing on a football field. I haven't seen Christian McCaffrey go out there and be able to do. He leads the NFL in scrimmage yards through these first two games. And the Texans believe there are so few players like him in the NFL. That's why covering him and guarding him and planning for him is very difficult because they know the Panthers going to move him around and put him in different spots. And defensive coordinator for the Texans, Lovie Smith said, you got to make sure you gang tapper. You can't make any mistakes with McCaffrey. You got to make sure you're sound. You have somebody in every gap. And they didn't tackle very well against Cleveland last Sunday. That's something I want to make sure they do specifically against McCaffrey. But when Lovey Smith lifts it all of those things,

he said you're really just trying to slow him down. You're not going to go and stop him. But what we've seen the Panthers do in these first two games is when teams focus so much on McAfrey, they're able to do other things with their offense off of it. We've seen them operate the play action pass.
