Are we going to have a defensive touchdown this year?

I would like to see a Special Teams TD... How long has it been since that happened?

I'm pretty sure we haven't had a KR for a TD since Rod Smart did it last against New Orleans.

I'm almost positive we haven't had a regular season PR for a TD since Week 17 of our SB season.

Smitty versus the Giants.

It's time.

Smitty ran one back against the Seahawks in the playoffs after that... The year we had ZERO running backs and they quadruple covered Smitty the whole game.

Smitty begged Foxy to let him return a punt, that he promptly ran back for a TD. :-)

gotta have a defense to score a defensive TD. not going to score one watching the guy with the ball's back as he runs past us

depends on the position. interceptions are often used to suggest a defensive back is elite, but often it simply means he's getting thrown on a lot. sometimes all it takes is an otherwise average corner getting an underthrown ball in his lap when he got beat in coverage on the outside, and he's taking it to the house.

...still that's not the sort of thing you can really predict. on offense the same guy has the ball at the beginning of each snap, and you can use stats to predict where the ball will go, and how many times it will go there. on defense you can only begin to guess who'll be one of the few guys in any given game to get his hands on a ball.

Goodson had a KR TD called back for holding last season. Against the Seahawks I think.

    • It's crazy with how much winning was going on when we had a little cool off period that we're still just a couple games out of 6th. Moussa is getting better every week and Coby is getting comfortable. Would be nice to get to 6 but I think this team is a lot more stacked than the last couple play ins. I can't remember the exact rules but if you're 7th seed and win the first game I think you automatically move on and don't have to play the second game?
    • I think it was a thing for sure. Panthers weren’t too many people’s first choice. Or 5th choice.  2022 and 2023… coaches fired mid season. Consecutive years. You want any of that?  He has definitely overseen a rehab of how the Panthers are perceived. Because we are a place that is seen as up and coming. And just the little thing of he accommodated Theilen so graciously, that gets noticed. It all adds up. Dan is doing a lot of things right, probably most things.  Needs a good draft. 
    • K, I think that is dumb, but you do you. I didn't find anything online that made him out to be a dislikable person. I am certain the Panthers would have cared so much if they lost your fandom if they hired Sean Payton. But bet you would have come crawling back if Sean lead us to a Super Bowl victory or Golden leads UNC to a champion ship. It is easy to say you are gonna leave a team if the hire someone you dislike when the chips are down. But people like you tend to come crawling back once the team finds success.
