Gano

It is my impression that on the second attempt by Kam to jump the line that Gano whiffed that kick on purpose and took the hit from him. He easily could have kicked it as usual and had it blocked but instead he stepped into the kick to make sure it didn't touch Kam and took the fall.

 

That is a brilliant flop if I've ever seen one. Someone tweet JJ Jansen and find out if this is a fair assumption. Everyone was wondering how we could let him do this twice and I think that is why.

Gano missed the FG because......

A. He has been missing FG's all season.

Or

B. A safety is nearly on his d**k as he's approaching the ball.

I can't see that ever being designed or on purpose.

It was a nice flop and I'm glad we got the penalty but how did we not make an adjustment after the first block attempt?

That WAS the adjustment. While it seems improbable, he could've have known it was possibly going to happen again and had decided if it did happen that he needed to shank it. I just don't see how he possible could've missed the ball had Gano actually attempted to truly kick the ball. Therefor, I think it was trickeration.

Richard Rodgers - the same coach that didn't make adjustments when we had the first punt blocked in Minnesota. The same coach that other teams admitted they saw weaknesses on film that he failed to correct. The same coach that didn't realize the wedge is not allowed in the NFL. 

 

It is time to hire a REAL Special Teams Coach. Not just a "special" coach.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
