For Mare to be gone. The question is, will they get rid of him? Several options I see here, but I lack any kind of inside information, and all of this is mere speculation.

1. Retained due to contract and cap hit.

2. Retained but only for kickoff duties. FA or late late draft pick for FG duties?

3. Released.

4. Traded????

Any of this off the mark? I think our kicking game/special teams in general needs some serious revamping. New coach should help with that. Thoughts?

Our ST coach gets a pass due to injuries, forcing ST players to start and get injured, forcing PS players to start and get injured, forcing hoodrats to start and get injured. No congruent ST roster will not allow for any consistency.

AE on PR needs to be replaced. If the best part of your PR game is not fumbling, then there's something wrong.

Pilares on KR needs to be replaced. He had 2 good returns which padded his stats for a little, but with so little kick offs being fielded for a return due that horrible rule, his KR average went from inflated to less than mediocre fast. Let him focus on slot duties.

Baker needs to be replaced. I think I read somewhere that he was 36th in punters in a league that has 32 teams. D'oh. How much of that is his ability vs our streetscrubs' inability to properly cover a punt? I'm not sure, but there were many times when his punts set up the returner for success.

Mare needs to be replaced. If you're an NFL kicker who can't consistently make 30 yarders, then you need to join the Gramatica brothers on the couch. I had to wince everytime we lined up for a FG, or for an extra point for that matter.

After writing this, considering the poo that our ST coach had to work with, he did pretty decent. Give that man a raise!!!

I'm sure we'll keep Mare...I don't want him, but they will.

I feel that the team was just sticking fingers in the dikes last year & will draft & bring in the right players to solidify special teams this year. THe coach, Murphy did a good job in Minnesota from all appearances, so get rid of AE, bring in some solid plaers who can fill the needs on STs & let's see how well Murphy can coach them up.

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Boy we agree on the dink and dunk. I don’t want to watch that kind of football.  I mean okay if you win with it, it could be tolerable but it feels claustrophobic, constrained, limited, boring.  But for some reason I love a smash mouth heavy run game that wins the LOS and gets the backs to the second level.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.
