No need for the insult. 

To the OP, it's been a minute since we've been respectable at all in the return game. Not really since Smitty really early in his career have we had any kind of consistent and good return game.  Since then it's been only a couple instances where we had a jaw dropping return. The rest has been pretty meh.

It would be nice to have a respectable return game again. It's been way too long. 

This was kinda my point...of course I remember Smith being a boss out there...but that doesn't make our ST unit good or even great...and certainly not consistent.

Would love for the next coach to focus on that.

Yes the Bates Era was consistently good.

Steve Smith was consistently good. 

Winslow Oliver really wasn't awful. 

ST's is more than returners.

How was the punting game, the coverage units, the field goal and extra point game, could we expect to block a punt here and there...recover an onsides kick.

That's what I'm talking about...the unit, not the returner.

You are either young or dumb.

Michael Bates was a threat on every kickoff and was the best in the NFL for years. 

Steve Smith's first NFL play was taking a KO to the house and was one of the best punt returners in the NFL.

Heck even came in after years of not doing it and took a punt to the house in the NFC Championship vs Seattle. 

Armanti Edwards had a game winning punt return TD vs the Giants when all hope was lost.

Rod “He Hate Me” Smart KO return for TD vs Saints.  Philly Brown miracle punt return.

Well we had Kasay kicking during all that.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By frankw · Posted

      It amuses me how Goff's name the last few years is often used to compare to subpar or underperforming QB's. Now on the surface I get it. But when you look at his numbers he's been the same QB all along. He's improved his completion % but even with the Rams he averaged 63.4. And that Super Bowl he played in they should have won honestly. If we can get a QB as good as Goff I'll be pretty damn pleased.

      And it remains to be seen if Goff has that ability or not. Plenty of very good QB's like Goff were not able to get over those playoff humps. Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, etc. You can still be an upper tier QB and never get over that hurdle. McVay just thought(and hasn't been wrong yet) Goff was never going to be that guy.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      You literally simply have to think logically for either of those guys. Smith is locked up on a deal for 2025, so we would have to trade for him or he gets cut. Neither of those scenarios are likely in the first place.  Wilson will be 37 in 2025. Why on earth would he have any interest in a situation that is far worse than he was given in Denver and wasn't able to win there? He's a guy that can drop into any ready to win franchise in the NFL and immediately elevate their chances of winning(provided they already have QB issues).  Frankly, that is either speculation that even David Newton should be embarrassed by or it shows how disconnected with reality some people in our organization are.   I do agree with him on getting a veteran QB, however. That's our best chance to keep developing our talent.
