Because there can never be too many threads about how horrible this guy is.

I saw the Observer gave the special teams unit a B for the game because we pooch kicked it to Harvin. Yippee.

If Rhys Lloyd can no longer kick it into the endzone, what purpose does he serve? Kasay can pooch kick the ball (in our out of bounds) can't he? Hell, he can get it to the 10 at least, which is all Lloyd has been doing. Total waste of a roster spot for a kicker who can't do the one job he's on the team to do.

Also lost in last night's win was another horrific job by both the punt and kickoff teams, as well as Cap'n and Cap'n's kick coverage team. At this point, not losing yardage or muffing a punt on a return means we're doing something extraordinary. There is NEVER a chance of us breaking a punt or kick for a TD.

And the penalties...

How does this guy still have a job?

I don't think that kick was on purpose... looked like he flubbed it to me and we got lucky that it stayed in bounds... his other kickoffs looked pretty good. KO and PR coverage looked better last night (for the most part) than it has all season, with the exception of that one where Baker had to knock the guy out.

But yeah, I still think Crossman sucks, one decent game doesn't change that.

There were several pooch kicks, and they were all intentional.

OK, I only saw that one... I have no idea, just didn't look intentional to me...

Crossman and at least One of our kickers need to go.

Kinda ridiculous were practically wasting roster spots because they're to chicken poo to cut ties.

I'm torn on this... Kasay is still money inside 40 yards, so it's hard to get rid of that, especially when you look around the league at so many kickers that are NOT making field goals, but it does suck that he can't kickoff... they need to find a punter that can kickoff...

I agree with Sultan though time for Kasay to hang it up.

it is pretty hard to find good kickers but he isn't getting the job done anymore. I feel bad about him leaving but you have to make a business decision and pull the plug. If Fox is still here he is staying unless he retires though. Loyalty first remember?

As opposed to what? Having a thrid string player who wont play? What wrong with having both on there?

you would rather have a guy kicking off that is obviously not getting as many touchbacks opposed to a guy that can possibly stop a return man from getting to the endzone? or a guy that can give us some depth A La hollis thomas or a james anderson type?

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
