CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers deep snapper JJ Jansen quickly turned to kicker Eddy Pineiro when asked to share something about interim head coach Chris Tabor that the rest of the world doesn't know.
After a brief exchange of whispers, he turned to offer this on the man who has been Carolina's special teams coach since 2022.
"Just confirming,'' Jansen said with a smile. "Coach Tabor cannot pronounce the word 'orange.' He pronounces it 'O-ing.' And we have signals and game plans and calls that include the word O-ing just to mess with him.
