if we really don't have anyone better than bersin i say put no one back there.  we got close to blocking a few last night, send an extra man in.  this is one of those games where a blocked punt could have a huge impact on the game.  and if not, just let the punt roll.  better than a fumble

Ginn didn't do much better, supposedly being the "experienced" player. Their punter really sucked, good for us. It was just a very ugly night for ST's on both sides. I'd say it was a teaching moment for Bersin and lesson learned. Whittaker is back there with him on kick offs and now seems to be the first choice with Bersin backing him up. That's a change.

Gano has never been $. He is awful and I haven't liked him since he's been here. 50 yarders aren't even a consideration and he struggles with 40+ and even less.

Whatever you think of him, would you put your money on him to win a game with a 40+ yarder ( or even less) in crunch time? fug no.

If I remember correctly, he hit several 50 yarder last season and he was a consistent kicker last season. But yeah he regressed this season like I said in my above post.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
