Just went back and rewatched that blocked FG.  It was Ben Jacobs that missed that block on DRC.  Just let him run right around him.  He didn't even really make an effort to block him.

Edit: watched the made FG at the end and Jacobs didn't try to block him there either so apparently this is what Jacobs is supposed to do.  So it must be a timing issue.

I've never seen a player not atleast get chipped there. He didnt even try.

I noticed one thing on that blocked FG. Offense needs to get the fug off the field. I'm looking at Cam walk, Greg walk after failed 3rd down conversion. FG set up with 10 sec left, Gano gets in position at 4 sec, and kicks with 3 sec left

Nortman is a problem. He sets up and he looks at Gano. As soon as he looks at Gano being set he puts his hands up for the ball and its snapped right away. Its predictable as hell. The reason OBJ didnt jump over and block our poo the last FG is cause there was a delay from when Nortman threw his hands up. It froze OBJ. JJ needs to randomize the hike and Nortman needs to have his hands up already waiting for the hike

Good points that are subtle. There is either a tell or like you said..you can time the hike bc of the time remaining.

Seems like the other team knows our snap count on try's, maybe we should change it up? Seems we could get some easy 5 yd penalties on all these teams timing our snap count.

It was apparent last year when Kam Chancellor jumped the line not once but twice in a row. 

Our STs are very rudimentary borders on peewee league

5 blocked field goals and several more missed. This cannot continue.

Do we lead the league in fgs getting blocked?

Exactly. If ST sets up in a reasonable time, the snap wont be so instant once Nortman calls for the ball. The blocking as stanko mentioned along with those other problems is a no brainer why this poo keeps happening

After what Kam did to us in the playoffs. He showed how vulnerable our FG team is and with these blocks, best believe its in our opponents gameplan. Its week 14 going into the playoffs and it's still happening

Hate to sound like "that guy", but I noticed the dude who blocked got off a little early and I even thought he went offsides. Oh well

I can see our  STs giving up one of them playoff onside kicks at the beginning of game or 2nd half that some team always tries. 

The unit is not very good and it's got to be coaching. The teams depth has  gotten better over the last couple years good depth equals better players on STs

Yes this has been an ongoing problem since Cam Chancellor did it back to back in one game. And it still hasn't been corrected.
