Confused on our Special Teams play

[AviationMX]

I need some help on this, is it that we don't have the right players or is coaching?

 

many have pointed out that we have never been great over the years, it seems like it our scheme sucks...is it that hard to find good special teams coaches? I know some of the special teams are duel role players, are they issue?

 

 

 

Also, can I quote myself?

 

It's not often that I get it right...proud of the boys this morning.

 

the sky clears....

 

We rush well, get some picks and Newton drives for the win in the 4th...and Harper better have a chip on his shoulder.

 

I have no choice, not a Saints fan and i want our core players to have some pride again. I do agree that we will make some stupid plays having the young guys out there, but make them at full speed and play hard with a short memory.

 

This a divisional game and I take it personally...they will be up for this game and we need to remind them that even if we suck, we can always put them away and crush their dreams...besides Payton and Ryan will be fighting each other if the get behind, and that is priceless...

no punts were blocked so I say they played well.

Lane integrity on punt coverage is bad coaching.

One major issue is that Colin Jones is getting snaps on defense lately and he is our best gunner on punts. I think he has been sidelined for the majority of punts because of his increased role on defense.

yep, the gunners either overrun the play or let the returner get around the edge. Either way, it's scheme failure and Rodgers is ass.

[AviationMX]

I can let the blocked punts go, since it was cold and we don't usually have that problem. But something is wrong with the coverage, makes sense our outside coverage is not working...

 

Rodgers came from holy cross as a defensive coach...but I guess having Ginn helped him last year on the offense.

Richard Rodgers.

Coached defense at the much lauded Holy Cross.

Dehaven is an assistant and is a long time NFL special teams coordinator and is regarded as one of the best ever. Sometimes it is the players....mosy of the time it is the players.

I'm pretty sure the announcers said the special teams coverage was coaching. They have no lane discipline.

You think announcers know what they're talking about? They get paid to sound like they know what they're talking about.

Coaching is a special teams problem.

He went step by step to explain why coaching is the problem, everyone knows Richard Rogers was never qualified to be special teams cord. I mean, look at his resume.
