I still believe in Eddy Pineiro

Every player has THAT game at least once. And the constant talk of him becoming the most accurate kicker in NFL history just had to put extra pressure on the day. 

He's still a great weapon for the team. Just put this one behind us and move on.

Not to mention, maybe there was something wrong with the kicking balls yesterday. I've never seen so many bad punts and kicks in one game. Seriously, there may have been an equipment issue behind this.

they said during the KC game he was hurt and it would limit what they could ask of him.   I wonder if he is still just nursing something.  Overall those were non-pressure easy kicks....which is what he built his resume on as being the most accurate kicker in NFL history doing.

Not going to sugar coat it, that was unbelievably bad from Eddy. 

 

That said, the specialist on both teams were very poor tonight. Punters and Kickers. The fact that we saw so many bad punts and kicks invites me to give him a pass, and I will for now. I'm not sure what it could have been though. It was very windy at kick, and the temp dropped quickly, but that was just a bizarre game on special teams. 

And Sam Franklin, you are a captain, please stop committing stupid penalties in one score games on special teams.

On a real note, piñero has been largely good for the panthers. I recall John kasay having some random awful games in his career where he missed extra points and gimme field goals that cost the team the game. But if he doesn’t bounce back, cut him or put him on IR if he’s truly playing through injury.

Current trend is that kickers are great until they start consistently missing FGs, get cut, and then are fine again with a new team. Not saying Eddy is at that point yet but worst case scenario, Justin Tucker will probably be available soon.

I’ve never been a believer in Pineiro. The “most accurate kicker” nonsense is because he’s almost never asked to make difficult kicks. And when he does miss the easy kicks he’s asked to make, they always seem to be critical ones. Two misses yesterday that either would have won us the game in regular time, the miss vs Atlanta a couple years ago. He doesn’t miss the easy kicks often but when he does it hurts.

      Mason Graham Bandwagon

      I would understand it--especially if DJ Johnson, Barno, and Wonnum finish strong.  Graham, however, might not be the best fit for Carolina with Brown back.  Our DTs have underperformed (Tuttle, Robinson) and they can be cut and save about $13m, or one can be cut and save $6.5m.  Who might be a better fit than Graham?   Maybe the guy beside him--Graham's sidekick, Kenneth Grant, is also a beast.  You could argue that he benefited by playing with Graham, just as he would in Carolina beside Brown.  However, teams like to double the big NT/3 tech, and if you do that, you get Browned.  Grant is a 340 lb DT who has 3 sacks this year--against Ohio State, Saturday, he had 5 QB pressures--and he has been doing that all year.  They could not block him.  If you want a player who compliments Brown (as opposed to rotating in with him) I would take a long look at Grant--in round two if he is there--after drafting an Edge in round 1.  In my view, THAT would solve the running game issues and give us pocket collapsing pressure up the A gap.  There is also a DT from Kentucky I like in this role, but Graham is good.

      He is a free agent after this season. Do you want to pay him like a top kicker?  He can't kick much from past 50 yards.

      I don't know how anybody watches this team this season and has this take.  We are miles better than we were week 1.    If we were slightly better he would be in serious contention for coach of the year, and he should be. My only concern right now is that we win too much and lose draft position to get even better.
