James Campen refuses to disclose details on O-line’s postgame meeting

What happens in the Carolina Panthers’ offensive line room stays in the Carolina Panthers’ offense line room, especially after what happened this weekend.

Position coach James Campen was asked about the somewhat infamous meeting he held following the team’s 27-0 preseason loss to the New York Jets—one where their quarterbacks took quite a beating. But he wouldn’t disclose any details.

“That meeting will stay in that room, right through that wall,” Campen replied with a smile. “But thanks for askin’.”

Saturday saw No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young absorb a pair of bruising blows and a sack over three drives. It wasn’t better for backup Matt Corral, who ate four sacks on the day.

Campen would, however, go on to explain why he called for the powwow.

“I just think at times when things don’t go so well—obviously—as a group, getting together and makin’ sure that things don’t overlap into the next day,” he added. “I mean, there’s a lot of things—that’s why they call it training camp, there’s preseason games. But you don’t take any opportunity to compete—you wanna win, you wanna do well.”
