No, not the character on Entourage but the Kicker on the Panthers who is taking up a roster spot, a spot that could go to another Defensive Line player.

Panthers will have to cut him if he can't start kicking almost all of his kicks into the Endzone, IMO. We have too many other holes to let him take up a Roster spot and not do what he's paid to do. The Ga. Dome was perfect conditions, if you have the leg why can't you kick the dang thing in the endzone and do it nearly every time? Its the only thing he is paid to do, and he did it poorly yesterday.

We need Ari to chew out our Lloyd!

As long as our special teams players can't shed blocks or make the effort to tackle a returner, Rhys Lloyd is useless. If I were a special teams coach preparing to play the Panthers, I'd tell my return man to run every kick. Even if it's 8 yards into the end zone. No fair catches until the Panthers prove they can tackle. Our special teams have no attitude, discipline, or pride.

I agree about Loyd, his job is to kick it in to the endzone and he hasn't done that for several games. he blamed the weather late last year but as you noted the weather in the dome was perfect. And even when he only gets to near the goal line its got little hangtime.

ATL kicker was better, and he does FG's too.

We are too thin on Defense and Special teams to continue to give this guy a roster spot.

Which brings me to my next point, given the money at play. How hard is it, given how widely played Soccer is worldwide, to learn to kick a football straight and far and be accurate enough to kick FG's too? You'd think there would be enough talent, for each team in the NFL to have a guy who can do this. There isn't 32 people in the world who can do this?

IMO this was the difference in the game yesterday... as mediocre as some of the other play was, our kickoff coverage (including the kicks) were bad. The return just prior to halftime was particularly hurtful...

This plus DW's fumble.

ATL had great field position the entire game

And he seems to believe he did well according to his twitter. We need a new kicker that can do it all.

Franchise isn't dumping Kasay until he's ready to retire. He's the "original Panther" and all, and still very good as a FG kicker. Just can't kickoff, too bad Baker can't kick it into the Endzone for us.

Yes. He even argues with some fans that questioned the lack of touchbacks.

OK... I like him and all, but what's there to argue? Last year he led the league in touchbacks... that's what he's on the damn roster to do. Any time you don't have a return is a good kickoff... so far this year, he hasn't done that.

He kicked a couple of balls out of the endzone last year didn't he?

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
