Panthers | Goodson expected to return kickoffs Week 1

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 18:37:30 -0700

The Associated Press reports Carolina Panthers RB Mike Goodson is expected to return kickoffs for the team's Week 1 game.

Woops meant kickoffs. My bad.

He did it all preseason. Probably will have Rosario back with him to keep him in check and block. The concern is PR duty....but since they have jobs maybe they won't be as concerned of making plays and will fair catch when appropriate.

i am interested in seeing how the removal of the "wedge" will have an effect on the experienced NFL returners. I almost wonder if the change will be significant enough that the younger guys who are not used to this will make the adjustment quicker and therefore be more productive in the return game.

it seems like it will make the return guys more open to injury, but will make them rely on thier speed and quickness to make lanes and get upfield. to me, someone like mark jones will suffer greatly from this new rule, and i am glad he isnt coming back right away until we can see how all this plays out. hopefully a key player like goodson wont get injured more easily due to the change. if we can get our guys to catch the ball, i think we have some good talent.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
