I gotta say our ST deserves some kudos. Tracy Smith has put together a nice lil squad. I was watching this video earlier and it's noted how we've been attacking teams. Gotta love that effort and conditioning. 

Right around the 5 min mark after Vrabel says he studied our "dirty kick" for about two hours last night while getting ready for Sunday's game. 

Ransom, Bam Martin, Tremayne, Incoom,Dalevon Campbell, etc have all looked impressive on coverage at times this season. It's early but Fitzgerald was also great pickup for Dan, especially being a UDFA rookie. Kudos to Martin and JJ as well. 

All we're missing is a reliable returner with speed. Hopefully Etienne/Dowdle/Horn will turn into our version of Ginn this season.

Side note: Give the assistant ST coach a permanent seat on our sideline..we need Darren Bates with that type energy.

Kick off's have gotten some folks attention.

Through three weeks, Carolina has limited their opponents to the lowest average starting field position. And that's a testament to the work of Fitzgerald, special teams coordinator Tracy Smith and the speedy coverage unit.

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel admitted earlier this week that he spent two hours of his Tuesday night watching just the Panthers' kickoffs. We'll see if they can keep Vrabel up for even longer after Sunday.

When you're preparing for Bryce Young at QB it provides the opportunity to spend two hours looking at a kickoff.

I mean really, double McMillan, stop the run and watch Bryce turn the ball over or go 3 and out repeatedly.

      Who are the top QB prospects for the 2015 draft?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Oregon vs PSU should be 2 QB prospects going at it. I do like Moore a lot, but I’d be surprised if he declares as a redshirt sophomore.

      @HeelsPanthersCanes do you think duke and wake have more or less resources than Carolina and do you think they're spending more or less on their football programs? Look at them compared to us.

      When he started playing a little after his benching I noticed something else he had addressed. His nutsack lol. He had been playing not get to get hit.  Andy was a great teacher through example. He stood tall and stepped into a throw when he knew the hit was coming. And it was a big play downfield. It was like the clouds parted and here is your opening. Andy showed the way.  I saw Bryce finally do that and he made a play. It struck me then that he had learned he better sell out if he was going to stay on the field. Stand his ground and step into it.  He was skittish and retreating fe pressure again in the first two games this year.  I understand being gunshy - when you are his size and weight you are going to be on the receiving end every time. You won’t be delivering blows.  But that is an essential component to him winning plays. You saw what happens when he tries to throw off that back foot or falling away. He can’t get away with that.  It ia a tough row to hoe but it comes down to if you want to be the man that is the life of a QB.    And then the footwork of course which is to me, glaring when he abandons the adjustments they have seemingly made to his form. And also obvious in the results when he adheres to it. It is like the lights come on colors are brighter, everything is better.  Those are the two things I took away from his successful return last year.
