"CAROLINA, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle was so frustrated after getting only six carries in Monday night's 20-9 loss at San Francisco that the next morning he posted a confused emoji on social media. On Wednesday, head coach Dave Canales met with the team to admit he has to be more balanced with his play-calling, starting with Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams."
"He just acknowledged as a young play-caller - at 44 he's only called plays for two-plus seasons - he has to be better. "Every week is a lesson for me," Canales said. "Every week there's something to take and I have great people around me that we talk to, that we have accountability with and I lean on those guys because I want to get better, as well, as we continue this process.""
