Special Teams not so special

Its not just Mare. Kickoff and punt coverage is got to be one of worst in NFL. Pilares is way worse than Goodson. What did Goodson do to be so deep in the doghouse? I thought he was one of the few bright spots on the whole team last year. And Armanti lacks bot the burst and strength to break tackles. He will muff a punt catch before the season in out. Captain Munnerlyn is way better (but dont want to wear him out).

Probably a correlation between our poor special teams play and lack of depth/injuries I would think. Guys that could possibly be stand out special teams players are seeing time on offense or defense.

At this point, the way I see it, young guys are getting valuable time and our coaches are certainly taking their lumps. Just need to come out after the bye improved. Any realistic fan just wanted to see improvement this season. This team was still 2-14 last season for a reason that extended beyond Jimmy Clausen. By the end of week 16, I think we will have good reason to be optimistic heading into the off-season.

Goodson got the fumbles but has been our best returner in yards. look for him to be back soon.

Edwards looked terrible as usual.

Special teams coach is a position with no authority in the NFL. No idea if our guy is good or not but they really don't do much in this league.

Scott O'Brien would disagree with you.

We may not have much to work with. On that I agree. But it's the coaches responsibility to work with what he has, just like McD on the D. Good coaches do make a difference, and we should have a good idea on ours by the end of the year.

      They reached for Pickett, so they are not immune to it.  I could see that as well.  I just think the Colts are flying under the radar and they have been too quiet concerning their QB situation--of course, they could think Jones is their guy (they had a good one named Jones a long time ago) but I think they are done with the Richardson experiment.   Even if I believed in Jones, I would still draft a QB--I also read one mock that said the Jets would take Sanders if he falls to 7---I disagree, but I was once wrong and it still bothers me.

      I just switched to prime video with fanduel south. Will I be able to watch the Canes playoff games still?

      I mean, you can use that "logic," but the problem is that most practice squad players, backups or average guys don't put the play on film that Wharton did when given their opportunities.  Perhaps you'll end up right, but I don't think that just because a guy has been in a rotation makes him inherently less productive because he gets more snaps. I will say that the KC fans I've seen on social media loved him, and considered him their second best DT,  regardless of his "rotational" status, and generally considered him a dawg, so I'm going to give him the benefit of doubt until he shows otherwise.
