Kickoff or Receive?

Defer

We don't have to score on our first possession to have a chance and getting the ball to start the 2nd half (with or without having two offensive possessions back to back without the opponent getting a chance to answer) is too good.  You can really break the back of a team with that first 2nd half possession...or you can energize your own team if the first half went wonky.

Kick and defer to the second half.  The defense will be completely fired up so let them set the tone and steamroll Denver to a quick three and out.  Plus, we seem to play better clock management at the end of the first half when we know we will get the ball after halftime.

There's no advantage to receiving. 

 

By the way, you never choose to kick, you defer the choice to receive or to kickoff to the 2nd half. 

The Tar Heels chose to kick once and due to the rules did not get to receive a kick to start either half.

Weirdest damn thing i ever saw on a football field rule wise.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
