one day...the Panthers will just draft or bring in a guy that actually returns punts.  Sounds crazy.  But one day.  Maybe a hundred years from now.  They will figure that out. 

Hell, we burned a 6th on a long snapper, why the heck not?

True.  TBF I'm not sure I'd feel great with our punt returner being a 6th round rookie. LS, not so worried.

My guess is Moore.  He averaged something like 9 yrds a return last year for Seattle.

Returner is a liiiiiittle low on the list when rebooting a roster.

3 phases in the game.  And we have been talking about PR for over a decade.   And I’m not talking about having to get a Devin Hester….but we generally are praying we don’t turn it over.   

Joe Adams was the last actual attempt to solve it in the draft.  That is just life.  They don’t all hit.  The kid from Utah worked out pretty good for us though.

Honestly, our punt returner(s) didn't get much work last season. I sure hope that has changed.

Still, you'd think by this point we'd be seeing something about an unsung player making moves to be the returner. Just hearing crickets chirp at the moment.

Amen. We went two games at least without fielding a punt. Embarrassing.

Drafted, sure, but free agency has been a part of it as well. Ted Ginn Jr was brought in the year after Joe Adams was drafted, and while he wasn't called for return duty in 2014 & 2015, he did return to the job in 2016.

According to some Huddlers, CMC was a returner drafted in the top 10 lmao

2018 + 2019 was just like 2014 + 2015 in the by committee approach, but Pharoh Cooper was brought in to do returns and Trenton Cannon was also getting opportunities.

I think we'll see Trenton Cannon pulling return duty this upcoming season along with Shi Smith. Shi, despite training camp reports not giving the warm fuzzies in regards to his return ability, has plenty of it from his time at SCar.

Shi returned some kicks in college but never returned punts

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
