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

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
