How about that punting .....

[Monday Night Shyamalan]

but seriously, how bout it? One of the bright spots was Nortman's punting. He gave our defense solid field position, and let's face it, our ST has sucked for the past few years. Good to see improvement.

Nortman looks much improved.

I luv me sum Nortman

[CelibatePimpv2.0]

Armond Smith is on the PEDhawks payroll, erasing all those gain Nortman was making.

we had 3 penelties? 1 turnover, and 1 return by ginn for 10 yards. Yeap totally looking forward to awesome special teams play this year

Riiggghhhhtttttt. Supposed to be a compliment towards Nortman, not ST's as a whole. 

 

*side note: if you aren't happy with Ginn we can  go back to Joe Adams or Armanti?

[Judo Thoreau]

I'm expecting full-scale Nortmania by the end of the season.

Yeah people were giving Nortman his share of flack last year, but that guy has improved his game.

 

Of course in typical Panthers fashion, our special teams takes one step forward and two steps back.

Nortman has improved markedly since last year; However, the one he basically shanked costed us an offensive possession. (You remember... this is the one that hit a panther blocking for Ginn) As the scoreboard reflected, that One possession could have meant the difference in a L or a W.

He has definitely improved though, and The first of the two Armomd Smith out of bounds penalties was completely bogus. As per the new rule... He was back in a "reasonable" amount of time imho.

Seattles punter on the other hand is a BOSS!

How would Nortman hit a guy blocking for Ginn?? Wouldn't that have been their punter?

It didn't hit Nortman shanked a punt, it was shorter than he wanted and therefore the punt coverage (Josh Tomas) I believe was hit with the ball, which makes it a live ball (fumble) that Seattle jumped on.....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....lol........ I see exactly what you're talking about...

Total brainfart. The whole time I'm sitting here wondering what u didn't get... And I'm the one that was completely wrong. My bad dude. Sorry for the confusion

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Gano had a great game as well...oh wait. 

[Darth Biscuit]

The punting game (and STs in general) was much better.

I did notice sitting up high however that Seattle's Punter kicked the ball a LOT higher than Nortman.
