Death. Taxes. The Panthers special teams looking like deep fried butt juice no matter how many times the names change.

At this point it's a tradition.

Our kickoff coverage was exceptional in the first preseason game, which is what this thread is discussing.

That's certainly a take.

Care to elaborate why you disagree? We kicked the ball off 3 times and we kept the Browns to starting field position of the 22, 27, and 10 (would have been 21 before a penalty). All 3 of those are successes with the modern kickoff rule.

The special teams are judged as a complete unit. We can kickoff but we still can't field a punt. When we can successfully do both I'll feel better.

Etienne has 2 total college punt returns.  He is not a returner. 

Horn had 14 total college punt returns. He showed improvement in college from Jr to Sr year. 

Blackshear has 23 NFL punt returns

Renfrow has 70 NFL punt returns

I say let Renfrow open the year and you let Horn work on them and eventually let him audition to take it away from Renfrow at PR. 

Let Etienne, XL and whoever take turns at KR. 

Blackshear isn't a good enough returner to get a roster spot for returning.

Alternate between Renfro and Blackshear for now. Simply not muffing the punt is the current goal.

As far as Horn goes I'd prefer to not tempt fate with that one given our investment.

I am assuming they met Jimmy, not JC

Sorry I'm used to identifying any mention of the name Horn with automatic caution.

Jimmy could be an improvement. Honestly have no idea why they put green Etienne out there returning a punt before him.

99% of the time I actually go both our Horn's Joe Horn.  So I only type Horn.

Preseason doesn't matter, so best time for Etienne to get some live reps and see how it goes.

Same can be said for Jimmy, but who knows what their plans are right now.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
