Oh Man our Special Teams are going to be so good..


WOW!!

Recommended Posts

We might legitimately have one of the best special teams in the league this year. Gano is a weapon on both field goals and kickoffs, Nortman is getting better each year, JJ Jansen is one of the best long snappers in the league, Ted Ginn is a fantastic return guy, and now we have gunners up the wazoo.

We lost games last year due to special teams... this year we might win games because of them. Props to Gettleman.

Am I the only one sensing sarcasm?

 

If it is sarcasm, it's also lack of knowledge.

 

Better field position (for both sides of the ball) matters more than some folks understand.

 

San Diego just a few years ago had literally the best offense and defense in the league but still lost games on ridiculously bad special teams play.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
