Kickoff specialist?

Why do the Panthers need a kickoff specialist when it looks like they will only be kicking off about 3 times a game? If it’s more about saving Kasay’s leg than field position, then I guess I can see it. But it’s not like he plays for the Saints and has to kick off 5 or 6 times a game.

because being a bunch of sentimental fools, we would rather pay for two kickers because one of them has been around since the beginning rather than just getting a kicker who can do both.

:iagree:

Nail, meet Hammer. The way Kasay is missing FGs, this is another position that is going to jump up and bite us eventually.

I got no problem with keeping a KS to keep Kasay as K.

Kasay will contribute more than whoever would get that 53rd roster spot because of Carter.

As for being sentimental, ask the Falcons or Saints if they'd mind making such an exception to have someone like Kasay on their roster.

Do I like burning the extra roster spot? No. But at this point it's necessary and it's one of the minor details at this point.

And yes, being preseason, without Smith on the field has that big of an impact one our performance. Now entire weeks will be spent preparing for defenses instead of not at all.

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      When Parcell’s said Bryce better “walk on water”…..the implied concern wasn’t that the tiny QB could survive being hit.  It was acknowledging he would have to be extremely special to overcome the handicaps he would face at this level.  Which he isn’t and can’t.  which isn’t just being hit.  It’s being able to play in an NFL pocket and make NFL throws from it….and that ultimately is Bryce’s problem.  He doesn’t play well from a NFL pocket and can’t make all the throws as needed.  He can’t see as others can.  Which impacts the throws he does and doesn’t take.  It also impacts him bailing and killing plays and turning them into scrambles/dead plays

      Saturday roll call

      9:30 kick off here in Scotland, which is better than the 01:20 early hours of Monday that I feared. Will definitely be watching, but probably wouldn't if it had been 0120 as I need to be up for work at 05:45. Falcons Saints is 6pm on the Sunday so will watch that too if it becomes relevant

      So much revisionist history around the pre-draft Bryce hype. The media was practically united in saying that if he were a couple inches taller he'd be the perfect prospect and it was just a question of whether he'd hold up in the NFL being that small. The Panthers did not create the mythos around him they were just the team that bought in. The team was largely praised for the move after and for surrounding him with what was considered an all-star coaching staff at the time.  Yeah part of the fanbase wanted Stroud but let's be real, we're coming from an oversized franchise QB who injured himself out the league. There was some analysis here on the limitations of Bryce's game but people were mostly just concerned he was going to turn into dust when he got sacked in the NFL.
