It's just insane the Panthers didn't bring in any kickers to compete with Slye in training camp.

not really as long as they make moves now. 

kickers are really fungible and several starter quality kickers end up cut every year, like this one

it's not like anyone is worried about the kicker gelling with the team or whatever

every year there are like 1 or 2 incredible kickers, 1 or 2 dreadful ones, and everyone else is replaceable.

The kicker we brought in, Matt Ammendola, is now the starting Jets kicker, FWIW. 

Currently 3/3 in FG's and XP's in the preseason. Long of 54.

We had Lirim Hajrullahu around for part of the offseason too (he's now with the Cowboys) and give a tryout to Zane Gonzalez but didn't sign him.

The narrative that we haven't looked at other kickers isn't too accurate.

Correct. We will see if we missed out on an opportunity to improve. I think Gantt's article was telling in that the staff thinks he is better than the fans and media.....and statistics.

But, Rhule also pointed that position out as one needing work, so perhaps they are learning. That is my one big hope with the Rhule era, they do seem to be decisive when they realize they have made mistakes and quickly attempt to correct them.

      Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet.

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
