Special Teams rankings for the Panthers dating back to 2006

Recommended Posts

Went back to 2006 since 2005 was the last season that ended with a playoff win. How we've done since then according to Football Outsiders:

 

2006: 24th

2007: 30th

2008: 10th

2009: 29th

2010: 22nd

2011: 32nd

2012: 29th

2013: 13th

2014: 28th

 

Does it surprise you that we've been this abysmal? What to you attribute it to? Different head coaches, different special teams coaches, same old poo remains.

there's not enough emphasis on bringing in special teams guys - guys that are specifically brought in to make plays on special teams. i also think our coaching does a poor job preparing our team. if another coach can find weaknesses in our punt formations, we should be able to as well. i also don't understand how our gunners never seem to be there for the tackle. it just seems our guys are in the wrong place several times a game. i attribute that to coaching.

Two decent years had two decent return guys.  For some unknown reason, we can't handle that prosperity and hold on to a solid kick returner for more than a season.

 

KR aren't the only part of special teams, but it's likely more than a coincidence that our two best ranked seasons were when we had them.

    • Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.
    • Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy
    • Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
