First Down Brenton Bersin

Brenton Bersin is the feel good story of the year. A guy out of Wofford College that grew up in Charlotte as a Panthers fan is now making a real difference for the team on the field. Quite a few folks here have Stephen Hill replacing Bersin on the regular roster, but I don't see it happening. All Bersin does is exactly what he is expected to do, namely make a catch when called upon.

 

I asked Brenton about his role on the team.

 

"I only go in when Cotch, Avant, or Kelvin get a breather" Bersin replied. "So I gotta be ready to go no matter what."

 

Bersin now has 4 completions in the NFL, 3 of which were for first downs. "I try to get a first down after every catch" he remarked.

 

One thing I noticed was how well Bersin wraps up the ball after the catch.

"I go in there for maybe one or two plays a game, I can't fumble."

 

Bersin gets it.

 

Brenton is the ideal role player at WR for this team. He understands what he can do, and just as importantly what he must never do.

Not shifty enough for punt returns. He is back there on kickoffs though.

 

I thought the response would be in relation to his speed and quickness, but to be honest, I think it most benefits the team right now to have sure hands back there.  I like Philly and want him to succeed, but if another ball ends up on the ground, I think a change is necessary.

 

If Bersin could just fair catch or run straight ahead when he had the room, I would take that.

    • The Question
      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.
