Presently our "Special Teams" are not looking so "Special".

There was a time in the not to distance past that our "Special Team" play really stood out strong in the preseason.It was a factor that would compliment of defense and offense.

Punt and kickoff coverage has not been very good and the punt and kickoff returns have been horrible,to say the least.

As much as I would like to support Armanti Edwards, I really don't expect to see him on the field come opening day.He seems doomed to be a project for at least another year and the other return men don't seem capable of stepping up either.

We may have no choice but to go outside for a return man when other teams begin their cutdowns.

I am not as concerned about the punt and kickoff coverages because i feel it will stabilize once we have the luxury of having the same players on the coverage team.

I would like to see CB Brian Witherspoon try returning kickoffs and punts,seems that is one of the mains reasons why the Panthers originally signed him.

Like the author of the thread stated,we will have no recourse but to look elsewhere if the current kickoff and punt returners don't step up to the plate in a very short time.

Actually I did feel that our punt and kickoff coverage and blocking was much improved from the Balitmore game when we couldn't block or tackle anyone. Its still below average but it was better.

We just need our guys to stop muffing punts. Good special team are paramount to having a successful team so I hope we can get all the pieces together over the next 2 1/2 weeks.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can.

      My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      In fairness, she is ensuring she is talked about.  People really aren’t going out there way to bring her up.  It’s some weird poo.  She would end up getting talked about given her actions if she was 40. Bill realizing some of these high end “companions” got a game of their own.  That’s what I don’t think Bill saw coming.
