John Kasay never kicked them out of the endzone

[Cyberjag]

Correct me if I'm wrong on that. But Kasay has never been a booming placekicker, has he? And it was only in recent years that opponents started getting good field position regularly, right?

And correct me if I'm wrong on this too, but didn't they also get good field position in punt returns as well?

I'm posting about Lloyd here. We needed him to prevent the other team from getting a good return, preferably by preventing them from returning at all. How does that not speak to crappy coverage by our special teams?

I'm thinking that the Panthers decided that when they fired Crossman and made space in the salary cap, they figured that they would return to the days when we had good gunners and could stick the opposing team close to where they caught the ball. If we have them, then Lloyd is expendable.

Is that crazy thinking, or is it just what it is?

It's okay, guyz. We got Wallace Wright

We're not going to do KOs this year. We've made arrangements with the other teams to give them the ball at the 40 yd line everytime.

like every offseason the panthers will fix the following problems:

1. WR help

2. special teams

3. QB of the future

so dont worry, its all under control.

Before we fired Crossman we would have never gotten them to agree to that...

The memory that stands out in my mind of Kasay's placekicking ability, was that crap kick that went out of bounds in at the end of the 4th quarter and put the Pats on the 40, where they started the game winning drive of SB38.

Kasay is not a good option for doing kick offs.

Kasay kicks his kickoffs higher than most place kickers. More hangtime= more time for his coverage team to get down the field.

He never put them through the endzone, but usually got them close. In the time leading up to when we got lloyd, he was only getting them to the 10 or so. That's unacceptable.

He use to put them in the end zone before his first knee injury... in 1999.

[Samuel L. Jackson]

He once hit a 63 or a 61 yarder in the preseason against New England...

[Samuel L. Jackson]

It was a 61 yarder officially... in 1999... To win the game...

[Zod]

I remember this one game when he kicked it out of bounds allowing the other team to score pretty easily. If I recall correctly it was a pretty important game.
