Do you trust Gano?

Gano made some big kicks this year, and he's good on kickoffs, but he's not one of the best kickers in the league.

He's missed some big kicks, and while he wasn't the difference in the game yesterday, there's no way Rivera is 100 percent confident in him.

I didn't trust our entire special teams. I thought to myself prior to this game, that even if our offense didn't score, we must move the ball in order to minimize the effect of our special teams.

In addition to missing the FG:

We never gained anything after a punt...in fact we lost yardage because of penalties

We couldn't punt the ball inside the 20. Despite one time punting from the 50

We gave up a huge return after not being able to punt the ball inside the 20. On that huge return, if our punter would have punted the ball more than 25 yards, then the Broncos return man would have let the ball bounce inside the 20.

Even our extra point and other field goal we did make looked terrible.

He's ok. How quickly we forget NY and Indy. We do need a better punter. Long overdue.

Nortman punted the ball very well, including a 61-yard punt. He went for hangtime on the shorter one to give the sorry-ass worthless coverage team more time to stick their fingers up their asses as people ran by them for big yardage. Nortman is a top-10 punter who rarely botches anything and he did put one inside the 20 btw

Yup, Gano is fine for our team and has one of the highest touchback percentages in the NFL, and that is a big deal.  I don't however trust our line to protect, he's been blocked more often than he's missed (and not due to low trajectory).  All of that said, the "miss" shouldn't have mattered if they didn't botch the PI on the play before or the BLATANT offside on the kick itself.

Wait a minute. Nortman literally punted the ball 25 yards when we had the ball at midfield in the second.

There is no way in that situation you punt the ball 25 yards when you have a great chance of pinning Manning inside his own 15 yard line.

You might be right on the other punts, but no way that punt that lead to our shitty coverage team not tackling the returner (which lead to 3 points) was about hang time.

    • First, apologies @MHS831, I know you began this about tackles, and it was good. But... Frank, your post is just another Bryce sucks post. You obviously believe, like your buddy, that if we draft a WR it's all about evaluating Bryce Young or coddling Bryce Young. In short, it would be about improving the damned team. If anything, if Bryce is as destined to fail (or is already a failure right now... irredeemable), then another playmaker at WR would just seal the envelope and send him on his way. In my world, that's a good thing.  If some of you think that Bryce is a lame duck, then why wouldn't you want to set the offense up for the next QB to come in and be dropped into the offense to have success? Or, maybe you think it's all a moot point anyway because Tepper sucks, Dan Morgan sucks, Canales sucks, Ejiro sucks, Brandt Tilis sucks---everybidy sucks! If that's the case, then why does anyone care who or what we draft? Obviously some of you have all the answers and can run a gotdamn franchise better than the FO does now.
    • Yeah man, idk. I’m not super big on looking at the position group overall and damning the group. I’ll do the same with less words for WR. I think Proctor is the ultimate fit because he could be your future left or right tackle or left or right guard. Guys a starter, how much Zavala, Christensen, Curhan, and Corbett did we see last year again? Mauigoa will not be there when we pick, but you take him for the same reason you take Proctor minus maybe the LT. Freeling *could* be an upgrade at LT for the future. You don’t take Miller or Iheanahor because the position flexibility isn’t there, likely RT only guys. Those Utah guys are light in the ass, don’t want. Now I do WR. All extremely unproductive when compared to previous Round 1 WR. Tate- Gone Lemon- Complete player, not a burner, would take at 19 Tyson- Made of glass, Colorado washout  Cooper- Not the best hands. Like 300 of his yards were lucky ass stumble blooper looking poo. Bernard gives you similar but better in the 2nd. KC- Slaps then catches the ball. Lightning fast for about 20 yards. Good return man. poo QBs probably more to unlock. Would take at 19 if Proctor, Freeling, Lemon were gone. Washington guy- Lumbers, the smoothness Canales hyped for TMac, not there with him. We need a different style player.    
    • Logically yes. Boston has the right balance though. Jalen Brown is #2 in the paint and their best shooters are 17th and 19th. While our best shooters are #1 and #2 and we have one player in the top 50 for points in the paint. And my understanding looking at the information I just referenced is we were basically at the exact same paint percentage last year in Charles Lee's offense. At the end of the day we either want to compete for a playoff series winner and the finals or we just want to stumble our way to another play in. We've already done that with James Borrego.
