Sproles talks about the punt return

[*FreeFua*]

Our kickers are legitimately good.

Unfortunately, oOur best return guy wanted to be paid like a wide receiver.

Yeah Nortman for the most part has been solid. I wish he wouldn't kick it in the middle of the field though.

We had some turnovers on special teams last season though just like this one. Against Seattle we muffed a punt and I remember a short punt in SF that hit Florence I believe resulting in a turnover

It's pretty obvious other teams can see our deficiencies plain as day.

Apparently our own coaches cannot.

This is the main reason why our coaching staff needs to be canned.

You don't punt to the middle of the field for legit return men. Kicking 101. Our bad coverage aside, we put him in the exact scenario you should never do

How do fans, broadcasters, etc know basics.....yet highly paid people ignore them

[TheRed]

Didn't we do something similarly idiotic against Devin Hester when he was still with Chicago a few years back?

 

Pretty sure that was a different special teams coach as well.

 

At the end of the day, this Ron Rivera coached team is still making the same mind numbing mistakes. It starts at the top.

Because the guy in charge is an old teammate of the head coach, and this is his first NFL gig.

in 4 of the 6 losses, special teams has been a back-breaker for us.

 

oh and the tie.

[beastson]

Like I said we have enough talent to not get blown out. Losing is losing, continuous blow outs is coaching

 

One word to describe us

He forgot to mention the block in the back...

I saw it too...

Which is damning evidence that should get everyone fired.

it's the same thing every week, we dont scout for other team's deficiencies. i have never seen so many teams smiling so much thru the 3rd quarter as i have seen our opponents doing this year.

 

with that said, my money is against the eagles next week, regardless who they are playing. every team that has blown us out, has lost the following week.

 

so the Panthers do serve a purpose then...

[Peppers90 NC]

so the Panthers do serve a purpose then...

if so, i would call it giving those teams false hopes and confidence by thinking they just killed a decent team only to find out we put up little to no resistance almost every week.

[t96]

Nortman and Gano were good.

The rest, not so much.

Did we give up any return touchdowns last year? I don't think so. Ginn was good as well.

[General_Purr]

I remember a few years back we had a decent ST.. causing turnovers and poo. 

 

Our kickers are great but coverage.. gunners.. looked really bad this year. I saw Sproles making that before he caught it. Wide open field
