Kickers and punters normally fly below the radar, so let’s hit pause and spotlight the many contributions kicker Graham Gano and punter Michael Palardy have made in helping the Panthers jump out to a 5-2 record. In my professional assessment, these guys are kicking butt. Graham Gano’s rehabilitation tourLet’s face it, most of us around here were pretty ticked last year when the Panthers chose to keep riding with Graham Gano over Harrison Butker. Butker was drafted in the seventh round in 2017 and had a solid preseason, but Carolina decided to put him on the practice squad where he was predictably poached away by another team, the Kansas City Chiefs. While it was difficult to watch Butker take his youthful potential and rookie-scale contract to Kansas City last year, Gano (then age 30 with a $4.0 million cap hit) responded in 2017 by connecting on a league-leading 96.7% (29 of 30) of his kicks and earning his first Pro Bowl selection. He’s been even hotter in 2018 by going 11-for-11 through Week 8. That’s right, Graham Gano has made 40 of his last 41 regular season field goal attempts. He’s also a machine at drilling kickoffs out of the back of the end zone and preventing returns. All things considered Carolina Panthers Womens T-Shirt , Graham Gano has arguably been the NFL’s best kicker over the last season and a half. (Side note: He’s somehow missed two extra points in 2018, so there’s still some room for improvement.)Gano has not only been consistent, he’s been clutch as well. His miraculous 63-yard game winning field goal against the New York Giants could end up being a season-saver for the Panthers. The incredible kick tied for the longest game-winner in NFL history and fell just one yard shy of the NFL record of 64 yards. Michael Palardy’s house partyBut Graham Gano isn’t the only Panthers kicker who’s hot right now. Punter Michael Palardy is having a great season as well. According to Pro Football Focus, Palardy was the NFL’s top rated punter heading into Week 8’s game against the Ravens. Palardy then had a great game against Baltimore. Of his three punts in Week 8, one was downed at the one yard line (with a huge assist from Curtis Samuel) and another went out of bounds at the eight yard line. With data taken from NFL.com, 53.6% of Palardy’s punts have landed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line which is the second highest percentage in the NFL, trailing only Cincinnati’s Kevin Huber at 54.5%. Palardy’s accuracy and touch have consistently caused opposing offenses to start with terrible field position and allowed the Panthers defense to pin back their ears and go on the attack. This week Pro Football Focus released their Midseason All-Pro team and Michael Palardy is their first team All-Pro punter. Here is what PFF had to say:Kickers and punters are normally afterthoughts unless they shank a kick or otherwise fail to do their one specialized job. Graham Gano and Michael Palardy are the exceptions this year. Their consistently excellent play has been an integral part in keeping the Panthers in the playoff hunt. Let’s just hope they can stay this hot for the rest of the season and throughout a deep playoff run.
