Panthers sign....

[jtnc]

why do we lose the Arizona game?

it was a damn near PERFECT punt. Peterson should of had his head removed...kick was set up to either be fair caught or have PP murdered.

Result? epic TD run. Cardinals win. Even when put in IDEAL scenarios his coverage blew chunks. Replace Mare, improve ST talent....then worry about P.

Really don't care about the coverage, tired of the excuses for players. Bring in or draft someone to compete with him. The entire special teams needs an entire overhaul.

From the blurb, it sounds like Hurney thinks he's the real deal.

He will be on the active roster to start the season. Write it down.

Did we really expect our ST to be good last season? We had to find new special teamers because our original ST was starting on defense.

How did you get that from that article?

This is what I read it as - Hurney: "We signed a kicker. He's young."

well, no offense, but if you want to talk about the punting game.....coverage is the biggest part of it.

We didn't lose that AZ game b/c of Baker...he did his job perfectly. His stats get hammered when he sets his team up perfectly.....and run around like chickens with their heads cut off screwing the team.

You bash Baker...then try to spin that pathetic excuse for coverage in that game as an excuse? Chicago game....Hester is a beast. Regardless, even Hester should of been stopped for a minimal gain on that TD.

Coverage matters. I'd argue your coverage team is slightly more important than your P. If you want a good kicking game....good coverage guys make the punting game work...and being able to make basic tackles.

Then how did Peterson return that TD for a touchdown? At that time only Beason was hurt.

Wow he's black, that's rare.

I looked at five different photos of him (including his headshots from the Chiefs and Argos) and didn't notice that at all. Is that a good kind of color-blindness?

No. Can't expect them to be good picking them off the street each week. But they sucked out of the gate.

But scapegoating Baker as the reason our punting sucked...isn't the answer. The reason our punting sucked is b/c we had no one to play ST. It showed....and it hurt us big and often.

I would put the coverage on that play as the most embarassing/pathetic play on the season.

2nd is Sherrod Marton giving up the TD before the half against the Saints.

All I care about is replacing Mare really. To be honest, I'd rather not have a kicker/punter all-in-one player. If it was a good idea, I'm sure there would be more teams doing it. We can worry about whether or not to replace Baker some other season for all I care. We could spend that time replacing the sh*t members of our ST. Just as long as Mare isn't on the roster next season, I'm good.

The only thing that worries me is the cap hit. Is it worth it?

Poorly coached, imo. Players flew past him.

We need a white corner and a white wide receiver and we're golden on the, "Wait he's (insert color here)?" topic.

I can't think of the last white CB in the NFL. Maybe John Lynch played before moving to S?

Steve Smith killed the careers of every last white CB with the X-clown.

I'll always remember that.
