Horrible to say, but I love watching the punt team!

Charlton is something special.

Every time he punts, he amazes me. The kicks always initially looks like a total shank, and then it hangs, and hangs, and HANGS. It then always looks like its coming down much shorter than it does, but then bounces onto the turf at the ideal spot.

Two really awesome punts and position leverage plays came out of this preseason game alone. 

This can be a MAJOR advantage in the regular season if the offense can't come up with a 1st down.

Putting a team's offense way back in its own territory will be extra good for this fast, hungry, young, and versatile defense.

 

I am all down with the Charlton. Great great pickup by you know who for once.

A great punter can make a huge difference. I still remember a wildcard playoff game from about 8 or so years ago where a Chargers team that was double digit underdogs beat a Colts team on the back of their punter who boomed like multiple 60+ yard net punts and kept pinning the Colts inside their 10. We're fortunate to have a top tier punter.

Come on,i knew Ravens' Sam Koch a bit,don't tell me about net yards.

Charlton's problem is the ballistic,not only high balls,but also long flat balls which can hit the boundary

Charlton's NET and gross avg last year was higher than Koch's career averages so not sure what you're getting on about bud.

I don't have a good way to show it from my phone but straight from NFL.com.

Charlton = 46.3/40.8

Koch = 45.3/40.1 career average

Ohhh,i checked the damn ESPN,some different...

Anyway,Charlton is not a Pro Bowler yet,he will be better,if increase his ballistic types

"A punt isn't a bad play." - John Fox

"...but it is an indication your offense has failed, perhaps from a total lack of imagination and a HC who ignores it in favor of his defense. Maybe that HC should reexamine the basics of the game til he gains an understanding that winning football games requires outscoring your opponent, not just having a better defense than he does." -Me

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
