This. It's time for a 2-for-1 swap. We need to find a young kicker, and let Kasay retire with dignity (ie: force him to retire), and send Lloyd back to the soccer league.

Lloyd is to fat and out of shape to play competitive soccer now :D

I suspect it is a combination of things including: poor practice, not enough practice, and misinformed mechanical instruction. Most of the problems I believe could be linked directly back to Crossman and that this would be observable if one were to have the privilege of being able to closely scrutinize the team and coaches at practice.

Could be... I don't think you'll find too much argument on here that Crossman shouldn't be fired... what can we do. ST continues to hurt this team and with the way the offense is sucking... well, you know where I'm going...

Let's see...some special teams notes from the game yesterday:

We kicked off only twice, neither were touchbacks (from our kickoff specialist), and both were returned for a combined 63 yards = FAILURE.

In comparison, of the four kickoffs we returned, we gained a total of 45 yards = FAILURE.

We fielded 6 punts yesterday with a whopping total of 12 return yards = FAILURE.

We attempted two field goals (39, 44) and missed both = FAILURE.

We muffed a crucial late-game punt, ending all hope of a comeback = FAILURE.

Out of 6 punts, Baker's longest of the day was 49 yards = FAILURE.

Crossman = FAILURE.

I was wondering if someone would find a way to blame the fact that our offense could only score once on a player who has nothing to do with offense, sure enough.

When is the obligatory "It's all Julius Peppers' fault" thread?

Maybe it was one of those seven of eight ducks Jake threw over the middle.

It's too late to bring in someone new this season. Next season, rebuild definitely. But for now let's just stick with the only guy who CAN get us a TB. Kasay couldn't do it once out of ten tries. We don't need an extra body anyway, the season is lost...unless we could bring in a WR. Not that we'd use him anyway.

In other news, I say Lloyd at Harris Teeter on Saturday. He eats bananas.

i'm telling you guys, and i stated this last season.... it's his approach! most kickers take a 10 yard approach on kickoffs. he takes a 5 yard approach and has this awkward little half hitch in it which slows his momentum so its really like a 3 yard approach. if he would develop a full 10 yard running approach he'd kick it in the net every time!

why can't the kicking coach see this? i can.

Cut Lloyd and Kasay and find a new kicker that can do both. It really is that simple. Kasay just doesn't have it.

this is the right choice. like jake, their time has come and gone and we then to cling to players.

it's becoming obvious fox just can't let go. he reminds me of my mom.

      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.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      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.
