Welcome to the inaugural kickoff of the Steve Wilks era for the Carolina Panthers. The Los Angeles Rams at their house is an intriguing test for Wilks first game as Panthers head coach. The reigning Super Bowl Champions, having stumbled out of the gate on the season, will neither be push overs nor overconfident. They are well coached and experienced. Neither of those are things that you could say about the Panthers so far this season.
We already know that the Panthers are going to fight for Wilks. He has long standing relationships with most of the veteran leadership in that locker room.
