Devin Hester...

[jtnc]

We will see how good of a plan Ron's best frie... I mean, the Panthers special teams coach has for Hester. We have to make him a non-factor to win this game.

They will punt one to center field for him....

Then post game Ron will talk about how they thought they had a good gameplan for that centerfield punt but didn't exexute it....

[Jump Zone]

Kick away from him, please.

I don't understand how hard it is for Norman to just kick it out of bounds.

[The Huddler]

...will be contained.

Norman isn't a punter, so any non-shank would be awesome...

[Machete]

I think he meant Nortman...

[TheRumGone]

i cant believe ron would actually say, yes nortman punt it straight center field to one of the most explosive pr in the NFL.

 

me thinks nortman has been fing up

[pantherfan49]

I'm just impressed at how well the old guy is still playing.

[Goondal]

Is there any chance he does not return at least one?  He is probably the thing that worries me most about Sunday.

He kicks where his coaches tell him too.....

Most of them under Ron where he puts in the middle of the field against elites....he was told to do it.

The Chicago Hester punt, Sproles one, etc.

All were the same. we got backed up.....Rivera has told has "gameplan" to punt to centerfield and if the stars align perfect he allow no return.

Ideal world it is the best way to fix field postion. Directional kicks cost you some field pposition.

Those are on Ron. He asks his bad kick coverage team to excute something as if they are top tier.

The 10 yard difference or whatever a directional kick cost....is something he hasn't wanted to sacrifice

[Ship]

Everyone on our team hates him after that late hit attempt last game. Regardless of gameplan we beat that ass all game.

[rippadonn]

Sproles was quoted as saying something like "they always leave the middle of the field open". They scouted that and he attacked it. Hester can break one. Kicking to him in a game that means everything would be foolish. If your defense is playing lights out I'd kick it away. You don't give Devin Hester the opportunity to bust momentum and make them think they got a chance. IF my defense is playing I kick away from Hester. He doesn't touch the ball.

It is what it is. Don't let a pro expose a weakness. That's a coaches job though
