I'd think that Todman would get a look as a back up punt returner. I know he does kick-off but if Ginn goes down for some reason, I'd rather have someone back there that can catch a kicked ball. God bless Bersin for trying but we can't have a guy out there that fields punts from a knee like he's an outfielder playing it safe.

I like Bersin as a person and at receiver he catches everything, but there is literally no chance he makes the team. I have a feeling they may offer him some sort of job with the organization though.

​Now that's an intriguing proposition.  JR stays happy because he's employing Bersin, and we don't have to fear his punt return attempts. I like it.

​I actually got to where when Berisn was back to field a punt, I would walk out of the room. lol

I would yell loud profanities anytime I saw him back there... Guess I need to work on that, walking out of the room is much more therapeutic! Haha

Punt returners became a bit clearer at OTA practice today, and kept the same rotation throughout practice. 

In order...

 

Ted Ginn

Brenton Bersin (Don't shoot the messenger)

De'Andre Presley

Damiere Byrd

Obviously, Ted Ginn is the favorite to win the starting punt return position. He has proven effective there in the past for the Panthers. 

For me, the most interesting prospect here is Damiere Byrd. During rookie camp I noted the Panthers would probably be taking a look at him at punt returns. South Carolina Gamecock fans were quick to point out the fact he had never attempted punt returns in college. 

None the less, the Panthers appear to be giving him a shot. And with his quickness, why not. Any hint of daylight and Byrd could be in the end zone. 

 

Byrd looked pretty comfortable for a guy that had never fielded punts before. I saw no drops on any catchable punts. Ted Ginn did drop an easy punt. Go figure. 

It will be interesting next week to see how this unit is shaping up. 

 

 

​As long as Byrd gets a shot in game situations, then we will see what hes made of.

Please end the Ginn at punt experiment. He failed when he was with us two years ago. I don't want to see him fail again and don't even mention bersin. I hope Byrd wins it. 

​Don't agree about Ginn.  Career wise, he has been a good punt returner.  He didn't have his best year with us, but it wasn't bad.  And no fumbles the entire year he was with us.  He is probably our best punt returner since Steve Smith.

Obviously we're all disappointed to see Bersin on the list for punt returner.  But he will probably still make the roster because he is a decent and improving WR.  I just hope Ginn doesn't get hurt and they put him back there again.

Team average yards per return:

10.2 11.3 7.6 10.5 6.9 11.5 10.8 8.5 10.1 5.9 10.8 4.6 8.9 10.8 8.3 10.9 5.5 10.2 10.5 8.0

Ginn's year is the 10.5. How anyone can call 0.4 yards within the third best we ever had "failed" is beyond me. But i guess it is easier to have an opinion than to check the facts. 

I was surprised to see smith at only 10.8 and 8.5.

I'll give you two guesses for the 5.5 year, but you are only going to need one :).

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
