agreed, but that said, rhule making them re-punt with a kicker and then sticking moore back there for that particular return was awesome coaching regardless of the result 

Yeah, tactically it was a big brain move. Too bad Amendola turned into a pro bowl punter out of nowhere.

I was just waiting for the short, chopped kick, chaos on the field and DJ running it back to the 10. Who in their right mind would have imagined the rookie PK for the frikkin' Jets comes out for his first time on an NFL field and booms a 50 yard punt perfectly?

Ammendola was out there, available at the start of this offseason (he couldn't find a team last year). Somehow he was missed in our search. Go figure.

That was nuts. He was punting the poo out of the ball.

Its the type of poo that seems to happen to the Panthers. Remember the ole "its just the backup QB". Then each time that backup would have literally the best game of their career then and going forward...like wtf

That was a really smart coaching decision.

it’s a shame he followed it up with some very questionable ones

We should consider plucking Dazz Newsome off of the Bears' practice squad. Solid punt returner and slot WR. Very similar to Shi Smith actually. I had them graded virtually identically.

I feel like Dazz is better than Shi for PR as I saw Shi mostly just be solid as KR at USC. Both of them would be great speedsters at the bottom of the WR room on offense. I feel like if a guy can't get you something though, he shouldn't be back there and the kid yesterday was a big non threat. Go get one.

I don't think Shi Smith ever returned punts at SC. 

Newsome would seem an ideal fill in for Smith while he's out and a better practice squad WR than our current ones once Smith is back.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      You do realize that raw stats don't make someone a better or worse player, right? To begin with, the last time I checked, 1,319 is more yards than 1,258, so T-Mac had more yards (but I'll forgive you as a typo there and say you meant catches lol), but that's before even factoring in that Hunter did his in 13 games vs 12 for T-Mac because Arizona didn't make a bowl game. It's also completely ignoring the team around each player.  If you think Hunter having the 8th place finisher in the Heisman voting at QB isn't going to result in helping his top WRs stats, then you're sticking your head in the sand to purposefully not see it. Hunter's QB had 353 completions for 4,134 yards and 37 TDs vs T-Mac's QB who had 260 completions for 2,958 yards and 18 TDs. But sure, let's rank NFL prospects by their stats and say the guy with more catches and TDs is the better prospect.  So on that note, I now change my mind, T-Mac is no longer the best WR in the draft, it's Nick Nash who had 104 rec, 1,382 yards, and 16 TDs, all numbers better than Hunter's... because that's how this is done, right? As I've said before, if someone wants to like a player better than someone else that's totally fair, but come with real reasons, talk about their play, but to talk about things like stats as your reasoning, when you ignore the obvious and massive flaws in using those stats in that way, just makes you look dumb.

      Nah you don't go out and put up the numbers he did without being able to run routes dude is a football junky so he works on his craft he isn’t THAT much more athletic than other players to just be able to go out and do whatever and succeed at that level
