anyone who watched AE return punts.. or i guess I should say attempt to return punts as he COMPLETELY messed it up...

after he messed up 2 punts in a row... was I the only one rooting to see AE try for a third... was I the only one wanting to see just how bad it could get?

I dunno if the square has to go into the circle then the time to engineer that is not now, maybe during practice when the season is tanked because if we want to salvage this season we can even pretend to try that garbage in a real game

i don't understand why they wouldn't let him keep tryin'. I mean obviously he can do decent in camp. so maybe he is just having game day jitters. I know it sounds dumb, but he wasn't on national TV up in boone, and maybe just maybe nerves and stage fright is his problem. so give him reps until the nervousness goes away, and maybe then he will produce. I mean its only preseason. the wins don't count. so therefore the turnovers don't matter. so why not? I understand it kinda matters during the first half. we need the ball to see what the offense can do, but why not take the bulk of returns the in the second half and all in the fourth quarter?

Because they wanted to see the offense play a little.

ha.. i know, but by the fourth quarter atleast give him some more reps? by then you have seen the what the offense can do on that particular D. if the return game is just asimportant as the offense and D shouldn't it be just as important to find out exactly what you got on ST before its to late?

What a disaster. I wish the young man luck and hope he has a nice career, but its certainly looking like and awful, awful draft pick. Which i think everyone really thought deep down inside anyway.

Speak for yourself. Calling a project draft pick "awful" after 2 pre-season games is pathetic. Especially since both positions he is playing at the highest level of football is new.

I thought that Armanti did ok at WR, in fact he looked like a WR at WR.

On PR, I don't think that 90% of the people on this board appreciatte how hard it is to return punts in the NFL. Honestly, it is probably the hardest job on the field. Trying to watch the ball and gauge were it is going to land while waiting to get creamed by ST's players. It is not easy. I really question the coaches decision to even keep him in there at PR. Let someone else handle it.

I think his point is more along the lines of "rendering verdict on him after two games is pathetic."

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
