Carolina Panthers' top-ranked defense reflects 'old-man' strength of Phil Snow

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- It was midday Sunday and Phil Snow was the only coach at Bank of America Stadium. The Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator had been there since 7 a.m., two hours later than he had arrived on Saturday, to break down film of the Dallas Cowboys while the team enjoyed a weekend off after a Thursday night game.

There was some concern in Snow’s voice. It was the day before he learned the Panthers (3-0) would trade for Jacksonville cornerback CJ Henderson to replace first-round pick Jaycee Horn, who would go on injured reserve because of a broken foot.
