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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
