What is up with the Special Teams?

Edubs · 11-21-2005, 04:01 PM

Our coverage was freaking terrible yesterday. It also seemed like Dante never had time to do $hit on kickoffs and punts. What the F is the deal?

Can the Ganz!

Our coverage has been terrible all year and the year before. Ganz needs to be fired, its that simple.

Scanlon was HORRIBLE. It seemed like we shuffled the personnel a lot. Maybe that was based on the play situation, but it looked like there was a lot of rotation after they broke that TD.

Kick coverage has been bad. Punt coverage wasn't bad last night. That returner was one elusive dude. He is almost like Dante in that respect. Speaking of Dante, I think he's spending too much time dancing back and forth rather than going straight up the middle. IMO, it's a combination of him dancing too much and the blocking not being good enough.

ROYC75 · 11-21-2005, 04:25 PM

Yep , it was Scanlon's fault. We had 8 ST's tackles last night, he only got 2 of them. That's only 25%, he should of easily had a 3rd one had not been for a block in the back and maybe a 4th one had not Boomer got in his way...OK.

Give it a rest........ will ya?

ROYC75 · 11-21-2005, 04:26 PM

Now FTR, We are leaving too many open lanes, guys are not holding their ground on coverage. This includes all the ST's players.

I have been scratching my head the last few games trying to understand what is wrong. It appears to me that when catches the ball, the wedge *cough* is not letting him get close enough behind them before they take off. It seems like they are so far out in front of him that the gunners from the other teams just skirt around our blockers and he is toast. He has tried to do it all on his own it appears to me. If my memory serves me, he used to be only about five yards behind the wedge. Lately it looks to be between ten and twenty to me.

We miss Derrick Blaylock a great deal. He used to lead Dante on ST returns and was, in part, responsible for much of Dante's past success. As for covering returns, I firmly believe that the coverage units are overcome by peewaddin'.

FAX THE SORRY WE LOST BLAYLOCK

Ya think, I've been laying off of this shit some. ( for the most part, but it is funny how so many CP members misjudged him)

FTR, the ST's players are being so aggressive they are taking themselves out of tackles by not coving lanes, biting into the pursuit to quick..

Dante dance around again instead of hitting a hole and turing on the speed.

Other than that, I got nothing for ya.

**Mr. Kotter** · 11-21-2005, 04:47 PM

Haven't been very good for a much of the season, have they?
