Cooper’s career average is worse than Erickson and Cooper averaged 5.9 ypr last year. Erickson was 10.1 ypr last year and 10.3 yesterday. Why again would we want Cooper and why is he considered upside?

10 ypr is solid. 

Still better than anything we had for the last 7-8 years prior.

Yeah they've gone for the safe pair of hands back there - someone that's not going to muff the punt / will fair catch it when appropriate and can sneak 10 yards or so.

He's not a dynamic returner at all, but I guess those are hard to find. Lord knows they've been looking for one!

I swear it was like the punt return didnt even try to block, piss poor effort and coaching. First time since Balckburns hire that effort seemed below bar. Step it Chase, new standard !!

You realize the just about all of our special teams groupings is comprised of all new members right?

True, I mean that didnt effect them last year. They just had a bad day(I hope). For sure Chase has plenty to fix this week.....and the week after......"". Worse blocked game in Chase Era, even kick-off return was awful. Gave no chances to the returner when 4 players are in your face after a couple steps. JJ had a rare penalty as well.

I'd take that over putting DJ back there every game.

It's a work in progress.   Most of these new guys have never played special teams since high school.  Hopefully we see significant improvement the next game.  Lord knows we are going to need it.

Yep, honestly Chase had given me a feeling of security no matter his player pool. Hes had a great run with very little to work with, just the first bad game. Im still a believer/fan.

      That's a loser mentality. We moved up to pick number 1 just the season before last and what did that get us? A point guard. If you think having pick 7 instead of 3 changes our future you're trippin. Most people here were saying 4 or 5 wins this season would be considered a success. Now, we're almost there and some of you want us to lose every game for a roll of the dice.  Amazing what some people have become these days.

      I don’t think you can point to a single game and say “that was great play calling”. But as you point out, he is getting better.  He’s not great but I don’t think people hate him and he has the locker room (it appears so). I think he has navigated the Bryce benching fairly well and I suspect he had to deal with some issues with Diontae and no one seems to be worse for wear so kudos to him.  If I had to guess I think when he retires from coaching most of his career will have been spent as an OC but that is my take and hope I am very wrong.

      Glad we can find some common ground. It's nice that there are actually a few teams somehow worse than us for a change. That's my main takeaway from the last 2 games. Now let's just see how ugly things get the rest of the way.
