Special teams is just awful

Who is coaching the these guys, holy grief!

First, Ted ginn has been atrocious at returns since last year. It's so simple but Lord just catch the punt, it's been horrible watching him. Other times he'll fair catch it and guys are 10 yards away. Pathetic.

Kick returns just awful. Would it be so horrible to knee the end zone and get to the 25 for free? I believe Dex or Aceboogie could pull this off!

Gano is pretty unreliable this year. But was fine today.

Gave up a return for a TD this year

Too many mistakes or penalties to negate any play potential.

ted ginn is toast, sure, but this is indicative of a team that's suffered a lot of injuries

injuries to starters ripple to the special teams. It's not just the actual players. guys that would be practicing special teams have to practice as starters. 

there's a pretty straight trend line between team health and special team performance. 

but ginn needs to go.

Wish we could get the Eagles ST coordinator from them... Definitely a coaching issue but it's also an issue across the league to some degree. Not a whole lot of great ST coaches. Ours really isn't that terrible, it's just not beneficial to us ever. Bright spot though was Gano actually being decent on punts with Lee hurt, and of course Lee is a beast on punts. Too bad the punt coverage has been pretty terrible all year. Just is what it is. Not nearly the biggest issue on the team right now. Nor was it in the Super Bowl last year.

Running the ball out of the end zone has been a bad idea for many. Not only are players not taking the knee, they are not even getting to the twenty which was the older spot. With the guys we have, they should be taking a knee every time.

I think it was the forth quarter when Fozzy not only ran it out but after an illegal block in back the drive started around the ten yard line. Cost us there for sure.

I think the kickoff and punt team is fine mostly. Not great, and it's really concerning how often they get into spats with opposing teams, but I don't worry about them with Lee out there.

But yeah returns are another story. I'll take a consistently average returner over our alleged homerun hitter with crisco for gloves

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      If Reich or Fitterer were still around I think the need to extend Young because of what he cost would be stronger.  And yeah Morgan was Fit's right hand when the call was made but there an equal chance that Dan will see it as a chance to move on from Fit and shake off that stink. Holding out some hope that 3 years and clear eyes will allow for an honest appraisal that Young just aint the guy

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
