Jason Avant on his Touchdown

Jason Avant is quickly becoming one of my favorite Panthers. I cannot recall ever speaking to a more personable player.

 

In the locker room after the game, he took almost zero credit for his touchdown. "The offensive line did a great job in pass protections all day" Avant remarked. "Great throw by Cam, tried my best to get in, that was it."

Avant is also clearly happy to be catching passes from Cam Newton. Newton had an increase in audibles at the line over previous seasons "He got rolling in the second half. We made our adjustments at half time. He did a great job getting us in the right play. That's all you can ask for."

 

Avant currently has only a one year 1.05 million dollar deal with Carolina. He is an unrestricted free agent in 2015.

 

Hopefully the Panthers are interested in locking Avant in on a longer term deal. His positive impact both on and off the field are well worth the investment.

I would think that extra scratch when C.J restructured would help with players like him.If he keeps producing he may have an extension by the 2nd half of the season.DG knows talent, who to keep and who to let WALK

aka: the whole WR crew from last year

I would really like to see him stick here.

I would rather see a core of reliable veteran receivers stick around for a few years for Cam. Year in and year out with new guys isn't an ideal situation.

Oh I agree. If we can't keep him though, I'd rather it be because someone else dumps money on him.

But yeah, ideally we can convince him to hang around. Both for the good of the team and because he's a good guy to root for.

I am thinking about Decoud too.  He might need to be extended because you see how Pittsburgh did Mitchell.  That break up on the Megatron play looked routine to him.

If there was any doubt about the value of character guys on your roster that ought to have vanished. Classic character/fundamentally sound/ savvy veteran example in Avant. In certain ways he and Cotchery are alike, and once the chemistry fully develops with Cam, I think folks will be very satisfied with them.

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
