Is there any other option at KR?

Bersin has muffed punts and at this height, it won't do. Seattle won't settle for field goals. They will make us pay. I couldn't help but cringe at times when the ball was being kicked to him. Albeit it may have been the punter shanking several punts. I feel sorry for the kid because he is a good player, but I don't believe he is suited for returning kicks. Who else would be available in the roster? Bene? Fozzy?

So instead of using the guy who has fielded our punts pretty well up until last week, we're thinking of putting someone completely new into a playoff game at Century Link?

 

Bersin has done ok this year, yes he's had mistakes, but he still has experience successfully fielding punts in hostile environments and these issues will be part of his learning experience.

You gotta pay more attention to my press conferences

 

While Rivera has no plans to switch out his returner, he did reveal cornerback Bené Benwikere is Bersin’s backup. And in a real emergency, the Panthers would turn to cornerback Josh Norman.

“And if it’s Josh Norman, hold onto your shorts,” Rivera said with a laugh.

It would awesome if someone actually blocked the other team so the return man wouldn't have 3 guys in his face every time the return man catches the ball!

That's the truth... I'd love to see the ratio of fair catches to return attempts for Bersin. Obviously the guy isn't the long term answer at PR, but he hasn't had a real chance to show anything, and it's not like he is calling needless fair catches back there.

    • One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.
    • I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.   
    • So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
