again he is the sole reason that the ST has looked 10x better on overage, dude can boom it down to the endzone, or high and give the coverage unit extra time to get down to meet the returner. but thats crossman's coaching, or so i have heard around these parts.

Lloyd is definitely worth the roster spot. So is Kasay. The way things are going it will be on Kasay's back to win it in the next few weeks. I can't think of anyone else I would want kicking the ball with the game on the line. We got the best of both worlds. A great kickoff specialist and a pro-bowl worthy field goal kicker who is ice with the game on the line. Even the kick in the Meadowlands was on track until the wind got a hold of it. I like where we are this year.

Lloyd seems pretty wild with his kickoffs sometimes though. I don't know how well he'd translate into a kicker. Keep in mind there are a dozen guys out there just like Lloyd, who can boom kickoffs into the stands all day long. The reason they aren't in the NFL too is because teams don't carry two kickers. We were desperate though since Kasey had regularly been near the bottom of the league in kickoffs. It was a good move, but don't get enamored by the guy (Lloyd) just because he has a strong leg. It doesn't mean he would be even an average FG kicker.

I don't think anyone read my first post, so I will reiterate.

Lloyd was a Kicker in college. He kicked field goals.

He was a candidate for the Lou Groza Award his senior year. (this is the award given to the best place kicker in college football each year).

He was an honorable mention All-American his senior year.

He was rated the 5th best place-kicker in the nation by The Sporting News his senior year.

I'm not saying any of this qualifies him to be a starting FG-kicker in the NFL, but it's not like he's never done it before. He has experience. He kicked a last second game winning 42-yd FG in the 2003 Sun Bowl to pull off the upset.

      High look overview...

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
