You think knowing these things is difficult? They practice this day in day out for years. These mental errors should never happen especially in crucial situations.
If your opponent is punting on 4th and 3 late in the game you don't think every player on the return team should know "If I go offsides or rough the kicker we lose the game." ? It is literally their job to know this and you think it's acceptable to not be aware of things like this?

lolz, so tap out on the mental agility test. Got it.
i'm saying there's ton of things to remember, and a ton of things going on very quickly. It's pretty easy to make mistakes when you're in a time crunch and there's a ton of distractions.
And in case you haven't noticed, players and coaches eff up all that shit you listed there, every week. We're watching a couple teams screw it up repeatedly right now.
What Andy and his staff do to coach these players up to the point that they can do what they do pretty much error-free is exceptional. And we know it's exceptional because most teams can't do it.
