Was Swayze... that bad?

He was shanking punts from the left hash. I mean, that's not good. 

Scifres was having a few problems as well, but he probably got the benefit of doubt for coming off injury and being rusty.

We are a directional punting team. We need our punters to be a little more accurate.

I'm a little surprised the punter situation isn't discussed more. Our special teams unit as a whole was atrocious for so long that when we were able to raise the bar to even a smidge above mediocre/decent it seemed all was forgotten. I would rather not return to those dark days of holding my breath when our special teams takes the field.

Disappointing this isn't about Patrick Swayze.

Oh well, it is now. No he wasn't bad, I love rewatching Red Dawn, Ghost, Point Break, and even his small part in Donnie Darko. Haven't seen North and South in a while though.

the greatest work Patrick Swayze ever did was his SNL skit with Farley

I guess I'm confused by all this "we're a directional punting team".  I can't count how many times in the past we've punted in right in the goddamn middle of the field even when we shouldn't have.

Maybe they were fug-ups. Maybe they were intentional, but here is the theory behind directional punting for anyone that wants to know.

    • this is true.  But NFL Ss and defenses are actively taking that away and playing to take them away vs most teams.  The problem thus far in BY's career......is they are cheating and not respecting the deep game which makes the smaller/mid range game harder to pull off.  and Dallas is an anomaly game.  using those random games as well, look at this......doesn't really change the discussion/issues in Carolina.  Bryce Young took the shots this week because they were not just NFL open but college open.    Wide open dudes downfield that really were coverage busts/issues. 
    • I will simply counter all that with: you should always strive, at every turn, to avoid indoctrinating young players into a culture of not playing to win the game.  Come man, that is an egghead academic approach that ignores the human element. it looks good on paper. Maybe.  In the voice of the great  Herm Edwards: Hello! You play to win the game.  I completely understand the need but that is not the way….
