CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Former Giants linebacker (and Super Bowl XLVI hero) Chase Blackburn is the Panthers’ special teams coordinator, which is why it will come as no surprise what they do on special teams Sunday at Bank of America Stadium will remind the Giants of themselves.
“You got to realize that Chase played here, I coached him here, he worked with me for two years and we think very similar,’’ said Thomas McGaughey, who runs the Giants’ special teams. “But Chase is a heck of a football coach and he’s going to have some things that he’s going to do different, but for the most part when you look at them, it’s like I told my guys, they’re a mirror image of us.
