Yeah, well given how well they played last night, we might need about 10 more Gary Stills...

That has to be the coaching. Not only are our coverage units horrible, our return units look god awful aswell.

Looks like Frank Ganz Jr has been living purely off Dante Halls ability for the last few years.

Stills has played LB in defensive sets this year. He's played DE in the past.

I guess maybe I should just look at him the same way I see a Kicker or Punter. A specialist that is neccessary.

Maybe it was me but I thought one of his XP snaps was a bit high. Maybe it was just because it was a rocket.

Can anyone tell me how often a Denfensive ends hands and fingers get jammed, and taped up? I'll bet it is more often than a long snapper. Oh, how much does that affect a DE's rushing ability to the detriment of a team winning a game? I don't think we can say the same if the long snapper snaps a ball that skips to the holder of a potential game winning FG, or a critical field postion punt.

If Lilja, Gado or Thorpe could have played ST's that's possible, I guess. As critical as the position is in converting XP's and FG's, I think it's worth spending at least one spot on a guy that does it pretty much full time.

Or you could go back and admit that Bob Dole was correct when he said that we'd really miss Derrick Blaylock's contributions on special teams...

That's probably a contributing factor. Looks like there's a few of them that have really hurt our return game. There are no words to describute our coverage units though, but then again those have been bad for years.

I don't think anyone has to tell Bob Dole he was right. He seems to tell himself that often enough for everyone.

Rain Man 11-21-2005 03:12 PM

Enough of this discussion. It's time for blame. Which of our own players pushed Gammon down to cause the injury? It happened so fast that I could only narrow it down to either Scanlon or Grigsby. (I'm pretty sure their number ended in a 1.)

It's probably just that Bob Dole is so rarely wrong...
