Who had the best performance tonight??

[KendrickPanther]

They gave certain guys a ton of reps tonight. Haynes was one of them and to me, that's a great way for a young guy to learn. Andre Smith got a ton of reps. Very happy to see Haynes look comfortable out there. Hopefully Grier will have that look a year from now.

Gaulden should be on this list as well. He’s caught a lot of unnecessary flack from Panthers fans, but he played a hell of a game tonight.

The kicker. He could have hit that one from 60. And he had a perfect night

Marquis Haynes was top dog tonight. Deservedly so. He destroyed ass all game.

Brian Burns was also very good but more reaped the benefits of the guys that made the push happen.

Overall... The pass rush is MUCH improved.

I can't wait to see McCoy and Short join the party

Burns will feast if either of these two require double teaming ( and they will)

His first sack was because the DT collapsed the pocket.

I thought Burns showed excellent football IQ flowing to the ball and finishing.

Got to be Burns and Haynes. 

Bonnafon was surprisingly impressive tonight as well.

No, no he wasn't. Neither was Holyfield. We are likely set with CAP, Scarlett, and CMC.

 Andre Smith

And the new kicker who should be permanent kicker

Basic football IQ says you should finish. Even more basic, except when it's not (misdirection, screen passes, etc.), is flow to the ball.

As a Panthers and VT football fan, gotta give some love to kicker Joey Slye. He’s got a big leg and will make an NFL squad somewhere. Good work, kid.
