How about that punting .....

but seriously, how bout it? One of the bright spots was Nortman's punting. He gave our defense solid field position, and let's face it, our ST has sucked for the past few years. Good to see improvement.

Nortman has improved markedly since last year; However, the one he basically shanked costed us an offensive possession. (You remember... this is the one that hit a panther blocking for Ginn) As the scoreboard reflected, that One possession could have meant the difference in a L or a W.

He has definitely improved though, and The first of the two Armomd Smith out of bounds penalties was completely bogus. As per the new rule... He was back in a "reasonable" amount of time imho.

Seattles punter on the other hand is a BOSS!

How would Nortman hit a guy blocking for Ginn?? Wouldn't that have been their punter?

It didn't hit Nortman shanked a punt, it was shorter than he wanted and therefore the punt coverage (Josh Tomas) I believe was hit with the ball, which makes it a live ball (fumble) that Seattle jumped on.....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....lol........ I see exactly what you're talking about...

Total brainfart. The whole time I'm sitting here wondering what u didn't get... And I'm the one that was completely wrong. My bad dude. Sorry for the confusion

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
