I'm thinking that this will be the end of Rhys Lloyd again

We have way too much depth at numerous positions like: QB, RB, LB, DE, WR, and now TE... I dont think there's any way in hell that we retain this guy in the coming season.

Sure some guys will go, others will come... I just really liked him and thought it was dumb that we got rid if him when he signed with Minnesota during their "magical" run.

I'd be shocked if they got rid of Kasay to keep him. Ge has a hell of a leg, and I know that he kicks LONG field goals in pre game warm ups. Like I said though... Kasay still has some years in him.

I know this is a thread about a kicker... I get it, but field position is paramount in this game of inches... I'd like to see us keep him but I just dont think it'll be plausible this year. I sure as hell hope we keep 'em though!

Just a random thought... Take it or leave it.

i expect rivera will want to figure out the future of the kicking position on the team and will give lloyd ample opportunity to prove himself. if we have football this season i expect to see him out there trying for a 55+ yarder at some point to see if the practice-field rumors of him nailing 60-yarders are true...

It will be interesting to see what the new kickoff rule does to Rivera's thinking about needing a guy who can kick off and reach the endzone. Kasay could boot it to the 10 most times. So he should be a ble to reach the 5. If that is close enough, then there might not be a reason for a long kickoff specialist. Rhys could kick it out of the endzone most times though. It might still be worth it.

J. Kasay's a great guy and kicker but he's pretty old and not going to last forever. I think we need to keep his successor on the roster.

Given Lloyd has never kicked a field goal in a regular season game for us that I can remember, I wouldn't exactly think he is a shoo-in as his successor.

It will be interesting if they let Rhys kick field goals in pre-season... That would be the first clue that something is up...

Of course he'll only be kicking extra points when Cam is in.

Rhys should get plenty of field goal opportunities with Mike Goodson returning kicks to the opponents 40 yard line... Only so Jimmy can come in and go 3 and out! Yep, that's when he'll get his FG attempts...

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
