one game, but yeah...seems like he might be having some success. gettis was impressive but who would have figured lafell getting targeted 6 times and catching all of them?

Why is that so surprising? A lot of these "drops" LaFall has had, were way overblown, IMO. I've seen maybe 2-3 that were legitimate drops, the rest were either good plays be the DB or off target and had enough velocity to make them very hard catches. Moose wouldn't have caught some of those passes either.

Someone needs to make a "give this guy some credit..." thread about Rhys Lloyd. Dude was mediocre last year but it looks like he's back to top form.

I don't like the whole idea of a Kick off specialist but he is doing well. It's just annoying in that I bet if Kasay went down with an injury we would sign a new kicker rather than promote Lloyd. When Kasay is sent out to pasture I hope we just sign a bluechip Kicker and be done with it. Activating and keeping them both is inefficient. Replacing one of them with a wildcat QB, 5th DT, or a ST Ace would be really nice.

With that huge 55 yarder the other day though, Kasay and Lloyd may be around for a while.

meh, it's really just the weather.

These mild temps right now are helping him out. Once it gets to be cold out his kicks will lose some of their oomph.

The ball needs to be firm but pliable for max distance. extreme heat and cold really affect his range.

I didn't see SF's kicker getting a ton of help from the temperature.

i wonder if it would be against the rules to heat up the K balls when the cooler temps get here. they wipe the rain and mud off. why not be able to warm them up?

you can't from what I understand.

The NFL just wants more exciting plays, Touchbacks not so much

he went from lafell to lafail and now he's back to lafell again

he did a great job sunday. plus with gettis established as a huge threat with the focus on him and Smith, Lafell might be getting those breaks and have a 100 yard performance this week, and maybe if we can get something good out of this season it would be a receiving game by committee type thing like the giants have right now with Nicks, Smith and Manningham.

      Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
