The Bills let go of John Wendling, a guy I was hoping the Panthers would draft the year he came into the league. He's a backup safety but is primarily known for his special teams skill. He'd essentially be an upgrade over Quinton Teal.

If we're going to improve the special teams, we need good ST players, not just a new coach.

I think Teal would be a bad loss. He filled in for Harrisburg very well last year.

I must have watch different games I thought our secondary was getting torched with Harris out (I remember seeing him miss quite a few tackles). As soon as Harris came back we started playing better. That could have been the addition of Thomas or just the D getting the scheme. I think at best Teal is a lousy S good Special Teamer.

I think the its a lil bit of both.The entire defense was lost at the time.Also I think when Harris was out we had Godfrey playing his spot.

Quinton teal definitely filled his spot. Godfrey started, but got injured himself. Then Sherrod Martin filled in for Godfrey until he was healthy again. The those 2 practically rotated the rest of the season.

Your thinking of Godfrey not Teal. Teal while not as a hard hitter as Harris played very well for a back up. He is no starter dont get me wrong but he spot filled well.

You know who else has proven to be a great Special Teamer? Tim Shaw.

Yep. My take is that he was let go due to a glut at that position, though I'd rather have kept him than Landon Johnson.

Teal and Wendling are both in the same category as far as safety play. That category being "if it comes down to their starting, we're screwed". As far as special teams value, Teal has some but I'd say Wendling has more.

      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.
