The Season with Peter Schrager The NFL Podcast Network

Peter opens the pod by weighing in on the Lakers hiring of JJ Redick, his own personal interactions with Redick in Brooklyn, and why he appreciated his edge in his opening press conference. Then, Panthers first-year Head Coach Dave Canales joins to take us through his incredible career path and journey from running a training facility to becoming one of the 32. Canales takes us through his lessons learned from Pete Carroll’s approach, working with Russell Wilson, Geno Smith, and Baker Mayfield, and to his approach and mindset as he embarks upon the challenge of taking over the worst team from the 2023 season. Canales has incredible stories and a wonderful approach and outlook at life. He doesn’t identify himself as a football coach. He sees himself as a father, husband, and leader of men. Can he lead Bryce Young back from what was a rough rookie season? Peter and Dave get into it, and what it’s been like working for owner David Tepper.
