Granted. Plus there's also the fact that while for the most part, you can control  how you hit someone else, you can't control how they react, or how they hit you back.

On that topic, I still don't know how Josh Norman came out of that Giants game without a massive concussion.

More shocking is how did OBJ not get ejected?

Still don't understand that either.

That might be one of those cases where the new rules and new authority for the league office might make a difference.

Josh, oddly enough, has spoken out against the new rule regarding lowering your head and hitting with your helmet.

You like to watch teams like Alabama get placed in the championship every year after beating up on high school JV teams all season? 

College football has way more issues than the NFL.

So, I guess that would take away a teams ability to try an on-side kick if trailing at the end of a game with a chance to win if they can get the ball back.  

Well, that takes away any excitement, huh?

4th and 15 from your own 30 after scoring is suggestion being floating that could work. Teams could punt or go for it.  Remains to be seen how that compares to the difficulty of an onside kick though. Also would make blocks pretty catastrophic.

Imagine the trickle down impact this would have on rosters.  No wasted roster spots with guys like Russel Shepherd or any other gunners or return guys.  We could use those spots for actual depth.  

 

I think they should expand the rosters anyway regardless, or at least allow more players on the practice squad.  I hate how every season teams, including the Panthers, are signing guys off the streets or other teams practice squads when if the rosters where expanded then at least there would be more depth of players who know the system, etc and overall better play throughout the season.

One thing unrelated to the actual game is that kickoffs take a lot of time, and add to the perception that the NFL on TV is 80 percent ads with some game thrown in. Its gotten a bit tiresome to get all GnR pumped up for a kickoff, followed by a boring touchback announcement.

Although there are some exciting moments in special teams, mostly its touchbacks, returns ending a couple yards ahead or behind the touchback spot, and injury timeouts. If they can come up with somewhat fair rules involving possession starts and specific game situations, it could mean more time on the field for the people are are actually paying to see play. Downside to me is lack of professional development of junior players.

Figured there would have to be some kind of method for the trailing team to try to retain the ball when trying to come back and win.  This one would make about as much sense as anything else.  Thanks for the info.

    The biggest hurdle to getting  kids out of college that are technically sound, is the limited amount of time College Coaches get to spend with their kids. Coaches just don't have the amount of time they used to have. 

 

    I mean sure, you still have those kids with talent, that take to coaching, that come out at least semi ready to go. But as a whole? College kids just are not technically sound, and it is mostly due to lack of one-on-one coaching at the college level.

It could possibly put a lot of jobs in jepordy.  If you want to eliminate that play then you've pretty much eliminated the need for "Special Teams".   

Just take the ball at the 20 if you give up a score, simple as that.  You could actually make up a rule that says if a team scores a TD the opposing team has to take the ball on the 20 but if they are held to a field goal they get to start at the 30.  Creates a competitive incentive to score and play better defense.

fug it just let them start at the opposing teams goal line.

fug this pussy football poo.

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      By shaq · Posted

      Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.

      Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
