Nortman and Gano will be key this week vs SEA

Nortman will need to do a good job this weekend of not kicking in Tyler Lockett's direction this week. The guy has multiple return TDs this year and is proven to be a dangerous threat. Nortman and the ST unit will need to do their work in shutting this guy down in a week where they really need to step up. 

Gano will also be a key factor because it will be very hard to score TDs against this Seattle defense. If Gano can hit his FGs this Sunday, then we have a much better chance at winning this game. He will also need to continue to do his things of not giving the returner a chance on kick-offs, he's been good at that so far. 

Good play from Nortman, Gano, and the ST unit this weekend could help us to get a huge win on the road this weekend.

makes me think of that Hester punt return and Ron talking post game about how they had a good plan to kick to him and defend it.

how about there are just certain guys you don't kick to.  Simple and plain.  I'd rather kick a punt short forcing a fair catch the defend a return.

We are not going to beat Seattle with FG's.   If we don't score touchdowns it will be the same as all the other regular season games we have played against Seattle in the Cam Newton era.

we could of won some of those games....if we didn't fumble and do self inflicting junk.

you ain't gonna go into Seattle and throw 3 TDs.  You gotta win ugly.

      I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers

      I am actually really excited about this kid. One thing that really jumped off watching his highlights was he almost is too fast or almost over pursues. You can get away with that stuff in college but the NFL these guys are stronger and more "slippery".  Little things that can be corrected but he seems to have a motor which is always a plus!
