Punter Likely Inbound

[gmabel830]

Instead of draft picks, can Carolina use a receiver?

We will have a surplus of picks next year -- too many to make the roster.

Those picks can be used to move up for better players, though.

Yeah, I don't agree with that.

We need upgrades at 2 running back spots, 3 Receiver spots, 2 TE, 2-3 DL, 1-2 corners depending on if Bethel leaves, a QB if Palmer goes, an Inside linebacker, an OT

That is up to 15 positions to fill. We have a lack of young talent right now, not a time to be giving up draft picks.

Our young players with potential are just (Boehm, nkemdiche, Reddick, Baker, Brandon Williams, Logan, and maybe Ford/Toner). We have missed on over half our picks in the last 2 drafts, not that uncommon but the answer is to get more picks to improve your odds, not ship them off for an extra yard or 2 of net punt average.

Comp picks

I like Lee as much as the next guy, but I don't think our punting has been bad this preseason. The probably should focus on the coverage teams instead.

The problem with the current guys is inconsistency. Wile can boom 'em when he hits it right, but he drops far too many 34-yard turds. Leone about the same. Bring in Lee, I don't give a crap about his hamstring!

 

[Jetstream Green]

Lee is a vet and I bet even if his leg strength is not what it used to be, he is better at directional punting... and why gripe that we need a WR or CB when signing him would hardly impede us doing so from what is there available to upgrade those positions

ST's need all the help they can get. That few extra yards means a lot at critical times in a game.

Hearing that Phil Dawson loved the way he held his balls in San Francisco.

 

[TheCardFan]

Would we have the oldeest duo (K/P) in history - 77 years (42/35)?

 

[juza76]

strange to hear
He should be pretty confident with his balls

I think all of you should do a bit of growing up here but must say...

Never underestimate the skills of ball handling. Remember last year when Butler couldn't grab the Cats balls? It put us in a very hairy situation which finally led to some shaving of the two man team.

I've done much, much worse with my comedic efforts!

Don't worry, the more I read it, the more I like it.

This is what I'm worried about. LOL

Anyway back to punting...

I Thought our two punters did good in the preseason. I'm a closet Browns fan as well and watching Lee's efforts in preseason left Hue to cut him.

Andy Lee says he thinks he and Michael Palardy will be punting in the league this year. He says he hopes it's here in Charlotte for him.

The Eagles have 2 good ones as well.

Bump for Lee getting cut by the Panthers.

& don't forget the "hidden" factors.

There was an opportunity to drop a punt inside the Denver 5 Thurs night, but the ball was downed somewhere around the Denver 15. It won't show up in the stats but it did represent an opportunity-missed & could cost us a close game in the regular season.

 

[Mitch]

Andy Lee is now available. Cardinals could move on signing him asap. Give him a 2 year deal to pair him with Phil Dawson, who is also signed through 2018.

 

[juza76]

Wile was getting better week by week, dont know if Lee at this point of his career is an upgrade
