Sproles talks about the punt return


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Our kickers are legitimately good.

Unfortunately, oOur best return guy wanted to be paid like a wide receiver.

Yeah Nortman for the most part has been solid. I wish he wouldn't kick it in the middle of the field though.

We had some turnovers on special teams last season though just like this one. Against Seattle we muffed a punt and I remember a short punt in SF that hit Florence I believe resulting in a turnover

You don't punt to the middle of the field for legit return men. Kicking 101. Our bad coverage aside, we put him in the exact scenario you should never do

How do fans, broadcasters, etc know basics.....yet highly paid people ignore them

Didn't we do something similarly idiotic against Devin Hester when he was still with Chicago a few years back?

 

Pretty sure that was a different special teams coach as well.

 

At the end of the day, this Ron Rivera coached team is still making the same mind numbing mistakes. It starts at the top.

Because the guy in charge is an old teammate of the head coach, and this is his first NFL gig.

it's the same thing every week, we dont scout for other team's deficiencies. i have never seen so many teams smiling so much thru the 3rd quarter as i have seen our opponents doing this year.

 

with that said, my money is against the eagles next week, regardless who they are playing. every team that has blown us out, has lost the following week.

 

so the Panthers do serve a purpose then...

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
