Run the dang ball 

The Panthers have yet to have a 100-yard rusher in a game this season. Some of that can be attributed to the offensive line but here lately, the o-line has been winning their one on ones in the run game. Keeping Bryce Young safe should be priority number one right now, meaning its not worth dropping him back to throw 25+ times a game. I understand it's a different coaching staff and scheme, but go back to what this team did well down the stretch a year ago and I promise you'll find more success. Chuba Hubbard and Miles Sanders can be a decent one-two punch if you give them the chance to be.

Quick pass concepts

This goes hand in hand with the pass protection issues mentioned in key number one. I've said it all season long that there are way too many plays being called that take too long to develop. It's either all detailed 10-15-yard routes that take time to run or all short. There has to be more options for depth and better spacing for the underneath stuff. This also means getting the tight ends and backs more involved in the gameplan when putting the ball in the air. Limit the opportunities Tennessee gets to put a hit on No. 9.

Force Levis to beat you

With Derrick Henry in the backfield alongside a rookie quarterback, we all know Tennessee is going to want to run the football as much as possible. Henry has not had much success over the last two weeks rushing for just 62 yards on 21 carries. Key in on Henry and put the game in Levis' hands.
