A bit on Swayze Waters

What a cool name that Swayze Waters has, especially compared to the rather ner---err, geeky sounding name of Brad Nortman. But, names aside, there seems to be a little substance behind the name as can be gleaned from Joe Person's interview of the Panthers' new punter. 

Not only is Waters an accomplished CFL punter (his more recent numbers were technically better than Nortman's), he appears to be a quality human being as well.

"Waters and his wife, Kendal, were in New York recently with 14 high school students from Mississippi as part of a Fellowship of Christian Athletes mission trip. The group spent time in homeless shelters, passed out blankets and took a food truck through Queens to give away hot dogs and hot chocolate to the city’s homeless."

Look for Waters to have some competition, but if he wins the job it would be kinda cool to have his first and last name on his jersey.

Would be nice if he gets the job and does well but we really need a good punter. Hope it can be him but if not we should consider drafting one in the late rounds. I like Tom Hackett from Utah in the 6th.

I know that from a theoretical standpoint, a punter cold be the BPA, but I am skeptical that G-man would ever give a punter that much consideration, choosing to peruse the pool of undrafted free agents and regular free agents instead.

we don't have a 6th.  I have no problem with using our 7th on one.

OK, let's clear up one misconception (sorta).  Yes, his punting numbers are better than Nortman's BUT....

1. The CFL has no fair catch rule.  That means a ball is more likely to hit and roll. 

2.  The CFL field is wider by 12 yards.  Shanks and kicks to the sideline stay in bounds longer.

3. The CFL field is longer.  Fewer finesse punts inside the red zone.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
