"Everybody came up to me and said, 'It's time to step it up; we need you here; it's a big game,' and I knew that coming in," Bernadeau said. "It's all about communication. We all communicated. They told me how my fits worked out, and what to work on, and if I need more help, just let me know."
"On double-teams, the fits were good," Wharton said. "There's still a lot of things that we've got to work on, because we've never played beside each other. He was confident in himself, and that's the main thing: being confident that you can play at this level. So he did a real good job."
So good that when the Panthers needed a game-clinching run in the game's final moments, they ran at the reconfigured left side. With blocks from Bernadeau and rookie fullback Tony Fiammetta
-- himself an injury replacement -- providing a seam, Jonathan Stewart ran into the open field for the 45-yard touchdown that provided the final margin.
"I love pulling around the edge," Bernadeau said. "I ran out, saw my guy there and then the next thing I know, I saw Stewart running down the field for a touchdown. It's a great feeling because obviously you want to help make a big play like that, but to come at the end of the day and help seal the deal is a big thing."
