CHARLOTTE – Like most punters, Michael Palardy could talk shop all day, using long sentences and big words to break down the mental and physical intricacies of playing the position at the highest of levels.
In the middle of a discussion about barricades and barometers, wide receiver Devin Funchess walked by Palardy's locker and cut to the chase without breaking stride.
"He's kicking the hell out of that ball," Funchess said.
That pretty much sums it up.
Palardy, in his first full season as an NFL punter, has been especially effective the past three weeks.
