I'm a homer, but I said we should have claimed Brandon Tate when the Pats released him. He put up 186 return yards including a PR TD. I know STs is more than just the returner, but some guys just have that innate ability to make people miss, and I don't think Edwards or Pilares (Edwards more so) has that "it" factor.

we need more than a returner on special teams. screw edwards and pilares and their potential. get someone who knows how to do the job and then get us some guys that knows how to block and then get us a STs coach that doesn't suck.

and then we can deal with having horrible coverage guys.

STs needs a massive overhaul in the offseason. it's been neglected for way too long.

no holes. can't run if there are no holes.

part of the problem is that we've been so decimated with injuries that guys who were once backups/special teamers have been bumped into starting spots and aren't playing on ST anymore...

once we get depth i expect a massive improvement.

Yes ST coach indeed. How hard is too stay in your lanes until you are 15 yards from the returner, then converge on him. Also if you persue run at angles towards the sidelines to cut off the runner. I played special teams in high school......fundamentals...we never had these problems. Of course proper tackling look at the stomach not the feet!

I agree, Tate would be an upgrade for us as a KR/PR and I also think that Goodson is better than both Edwards and Pilares.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
