Awful Panther Stat

[pstall]

The Panthers have NOT had a Punt or Kick returned for a td since 2006!! :eek:

49 games

That is the longest such streak in the league.

[pantherclaw]

Yup. sucks.

And with the rule change about not being able to use a wedge (not that we did much of that), makes it a bit more diffiucult.

I don't think that returning a punt or kickoff for a touchdown is a key stat in being a successful football team. That's not going to get you to the playoffs. But anyways, that is interesting.

:iagree:

Ryne was close on a few, and last season Mark Jones set a record for being tackled by the last guy.

[PowerlessDan]

We were awfully close a couple of times last year with the not so speedy Jones. I believe this is going to change this year.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Jones actually gave us great field position many times last year. DWill and company can finish things from there, I'm not worried about it.

Hmmm

Darn well nearly won the Bears a superbowl not long ago with Hester back there. All they had was defense and special teams...

In fact, don't most coaches define special teams as often being the deciding factor in many tight games?

The Panthers should definitely appreciate good special teams, I'm sure we all remember Gambles 'spectacular' play vs the Vikings cost us the game that year.

Good special teams performances can win you games, bad ones can cost you games.

[OneBadassCat]

Ryne should get us a score or two this year.

[Lt Pinkerton]

Didn't Tampa bay go like forty-eight years or something without a KR for a touchdown?

[TerriblePizza]

You know, against Green Bay, Mark Jones definitely set us up for the win with one of his returns.

Imagine a guy with a little more speed, like Goodson or Robinson.

Hell, I still think we should have Stewart returning kicks. He did pretty good at Oregon.

[mantal]

Hell, I'd love to stay in that cellar if our backfield has another year like last. Kickoff returns are hightly over rated. Sure, they pump up the fan base. But they take very little time off the clock and that's where it's at...
