He returned punts in Detroit and Jacksonville:

Punt Return

Year Team G Ret RetY Avg Lng TD 20+ 40+ FC FUM

2009 Detroit 1 2 10 5.0 9 0 0 0 0 0

2009 Jacks 7 7 78 11.1 42 0 1 1 3 1

2008 Jacks 14 17 192 11.3 38 0 4 0 9 2

TOTAL 22 26 280 10.8 42 0 5 1 12 3

Sure, he fumbled three punts... over a 2-year period- not in one night.

Yeah I thought ST was the reason we picked the guy up to begin with. We used him a little last night but only for like 2 returns or so. I don't know why we don't just use him, he's definitely (at this point) a better option than AE, and probably more consistent than Munnerlyn.

sometimes it is like Fox would prefer to be right instead of going with the immediate right move to correct issues.

Witherspoon is probably the most complete as far NFL return men go.....I think Fox would prefer to continue to experiment with AE, Moore, and Captain. All of who are proven liabilities to some degree as return men and none show the type decision making/confidence you like to see at the position.

If Fox doesn't attempt to realistically address the return game with Witherspoon getting reps or brining in a cut body.....then I think we know what Jerry is ready to part ways. imo.

      For those thinking Renfrow isn't making the team...Ha!

      By TD alt · Posted

      More praise of Renfrow from Tim Weaver (formerly of USA Today's Panthers Wire, now SI.com), and also what I told some of you, my Huddle friends, from the start: keep it all in perspective, and don't conveniently---and perhaps unfairly, discount and label Renfrow as a JAG when it was a very debilitating illness affecting his play.    "It's understandable to be skeptical about Renfrow's abilities at this late point in his career. After all, he missed all of last season due to a bout of ulcerative colitis that also took a serious toll on his production in 2022 and 2023."   When Renfrow is healthy, he's an above average guy. Being 29 may hurt or help his chances depending upon perspective, but 29 for receivers generally means that there's still (sometimes plenty) gas in the tank. Renfrow also obviously has plenty of motivation and has come with his game face.   "Then agan, seeing is believing and by all accounts Renfrow has been very impressive since joining the Panthers a few months ago... Where Renfrow will fit in Carolina's new-look receiver corps remains to be seen, but at this rate it's going to be hard to exclude him from the initial 53-man roster." https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/hunter-renfrow-sick-route-panthers-training-camp Read the room, ladies and gentlemen. And don't get it twisted; Renfrow isn't the most talented receiver on the team, but we have seen his ceiling, when healthy, in a Raiders offense that wasn't necessary replete with talent. Consider what he can do, especially in the slot, in a Panthers offense primed with young talent (no pun intended). From sick to "sick routes," eh?

      Goodbye to Barno

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That is literally what I am talking about. Those were 53 man cuts. Not at the beginning of camp.  I would say the odds of Barno being back are extremely thin.
