Confused on our Special Teams play


AviationMX

Recommended Posts

I need some help on this, is it that we don't have the right players or is coaching?

 

many have pointed out that we have never been great over the years, it seems like it our scheme sucks...is it that hard to find good special teams coaches? I know some of the special teams are duel role players, are they issue?

 

 

 

Also, can I quote myself?

 

It's not often that I get it right...proud of the boys this morning.
 

the sky clears....

 

We rush well, get some picks and Newton drives for the win in the 4th...and Harper better have a chip on his shoulder.

 

I have no choice, not a Saints fan and i want our core players to have some pride again. I do agree that we will make some stupid plays having the young guys out there, but make them at full speed and play hard with a short memory.

 

This a divisional game and I take it personally...they will be up for this game and we need to remind them that even if we suck, we can always put them away and crush their dreams...besides Payton and Ryan will be fighting each other if the get behind, and that is priceless...

I can let the blocked punts go, since it was cold and we don't usually have that problem. But something is wrong with the coverage, makes sense our outside coverage is not working...

 

Rodgers came from holy cross as a defensive coach...but I guess having Ginn helped him last year on the offense.

Richard Rodgers.

Teammate of Ron Rivera in college.

Coached defense at the much lauded Holy Cross.

Teacher of men, lover of puppies.

Dehaven is an assistant and is a long time NFL special teams coordinator and is regarded as one of the best ever. Sometimes it is the players....mosy of the time it is the players.

I'm pretty sure the announcers said the special teams coverage was coaching. They have no lane discipline.

You think announcers know what they're talking about? They get paid to sound like they know what they're talking about.

He went step by step to explain why coaching is the problem, everyone knows Richard Rogers was never qualified to be special teams cord. I mean, look at his resume.

    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
    • Supposedly he plans on staying in college for all 4 years.
