@ pilares fanboys...

seems like your boy might be getting his shot.

josephperson Ron Rivera says Panthers are making a change on kickoff returns, where Jordan Pugh or rookie KeAloha Pilares will replace Goodson.

josephperson Goodson missed a day w illness this week, but he also had a muff last week in Chicago and was replaced by Pugh that day. ...

josephperson Rivera says he's eager to see what Pilares can do. Had a setback with an ankle sprain a few weeks ago, but has "top-end speed," Rivera said.

congrats.

i hope he can get the job done.

pilares deserves this shot, I'd like to see them throw screen passes to him too.

[Matthias]

They should also try him out at punt returns. And Rivera, PUT IN TUTU AT RECEIVER!!!!!!!!!!!

pilares deserves this shot

why?

not hating on the kid.

i just don't understand the love.

[CRA]

eh, not sure I like that. Goodson looked great last year at returns. Pugh looks a good bit behind Goodson's development. Pilares is an unknown.....so I'd be more in favor of him getting a shot. Don't really want Pugh back there.

AE got a quarter of the season.......I haven't been impressed.

He has had limited time from his injury over the summer, but every time he has been on the field he has been solid. I like the speed he showed on the anderson touchdown in the preseason. He's not the biggest guy but he was a HB transitioned to a WR, he's got speed and deadly in the open field.

It'll be interesting to see what he makes of the opportunity.

We need a spark somewhere......anywhere. Offense needs someone on D or ST to make at least one impact play.

so far in 4 games the D and ST have generated 1 legit big play (Godfrey INT)

[Darth Biscuit]

I really want to see what this kid can do... no real reason why other than he looked like a baller coming out of college.

[Cat'sGrowl]

I like Armanti on PR and Pliares on KR. Nice setup.

[Wesmesss]

im more concerned about the ones TACKLING on special teams. not the ones catching.

saftey was pretty big too

[jramsey4]

I said after the draft next to Newton this will be our best pick. The kid is a playmaker. I can't wait to see him and Newton develop some chemistry. Heres an article I found on him that convinces me even more he will be special.

I haven't been excited by the return game since '01, when #89 had about 1800 yds.
