Kick off Returners

I was just browsing the threads and someone mentioned needing to improve kickoff/punt returners. Can anyone explain why we have Fozzy and Webb returning kickoffs. I just hope they take a knee every time....if they try and run it out, we are losing yards. I thought this during the game at Oakland and wondered if anyone else yells at the tv to take a knee.

Yes I've said this since first of the year. If teams were smart they'd never kick into the end zone against us. Cause there's no way Webb or fozzy is returning it to the 20.  And that's not even considering the penalty which we seem to have every return.  

Our Sts  have sucked for years. 

Byrd did a good job in preseason. 

This is the deal , speed is where it's at. And our team is slow very slow. Without any game breakers. We have one homerun  threat and that's Ginn ( if he catches it) RR is a horrible talent evaluator  evidenced by the old players he keeps jogging out there. Loyalty should be his demise , either that or ineptitude

I said this to myself during the Oakland game that I want to see more of Byrd...played well in preseason and has SPEED.

All our coaches need to do, is drive about 4 hrs down I-85, and watch how Atl. is using Taylor Gabriel.

Don't look at our historical kick return averages compared to the league averages. You'll wonder WTF we continue to let that happen, especially when Byrd had 1 or 2 kick returns in preseason and took one 50 yards. We can't get to the 20, but we also can't figure out how to get a guy who could be electric out there. SMH.

we never cared about ST. Just like everytime someone kick a FG on us. We are probably the last team in blocking FG the last 20 years.

I agree with many of the comments on here.  This is something I have been b*tching about all season.  If teams were smart they would short kick it to Fozzy every time because he rarely ever even makes it to the twenty and there have been plenty of times with a penalty we are starting drives at the ten.  Several of these times he even took it out of the endzone and due to the penalty we end up at the ten.  Not taking a knee and the return game overall has cost the Panthers a lot this season.

You mean DG is bad talent evaluator, his obsession with size is leaving glaring holes for finess players

If Amini hadn't got  hurt to the point of not being able to return, he'd still be starting over Norwell under RR. What's that say about Riveras talent evaluation 

DG could be to blame for lack of speed. But RRs the one who picks the starters and backups

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yessir, Center is not really a good value at 19. There's some question as to whether there will be a starter at OL at 19. The players are going to need development. If that's the case, we could say "We'll get a good developmental prospect later." It's all about value.

      We can't afford to draft inferior players out of need at the expense of a superior player based on need. If the board says this player will have more of an impact, you take the higher graded player irrespective of position. That is the whole reason why Morgan used free agency to set up the draft. If nothing else, Morgan has shown that he will address team weaknesses. Rome can't be built in a day. One-year rentals sometimes turn into long term productive players. If we don't get what we need this year, we'll get it the next. Moreover, there are seven whole rounds.

      It is.  Even the mid to late round guys are super appealing and would have been ahead of Trevin in his drafft.  Deontae Lawson - just look his stuff up, lot's to like Jimmy Rolder - absolute force.  Limited sample size but the sample is pretty dope.  (one of my favorite sleepers) Keyshaun Elliott - stud run defender, great size/length, is always wrapping plays up, high IQ.  Even this dude Owen Heinecke is an interesting guy.  Not some dog in the middle but will absolutely be an asset for particular teams (I.E. Minny would be an awesome fit)
