I would like to see a Special Teams TD... How long has it been since that happened?

I'm pretty sure we haven't had a KR for a TD since Rod Smart did it last against New Orleans.

I'm almost positive we haven't had a regular season PR for a TD since Week 17 of our SB season.

Smitty versus the Giants.

It's time.

Smitty ran one back against the Seahawks in the playoffs after that... The year we had ZERO running backs and they quadruple covered Smitty the whole game.

Smitty begged Foxy to let him return a punt, that he promptly ran back for a TD. :-)

gotta have a defense to score a defensive TD. not going to score one watching the guy with the ball's back as he runs past us

depends on the position. interceptions are often used to suggest a defensive back is elite, but often it simply means he's getting thrown on a lot. sometimes all it takes is an otherwise average corner getting an underthrown ball in his lap when he got beat in coverage on the outside, and he's taking it to the house.

...still that's not the sort of thing you can really predict. on offense the same guy has the ball at the beginning of each snap, and you can use stats to predict where the ball will go, and how many times it will go there. on defense you can only begin to guess who'll be one of the few guys in any given game to get his hands on a ball.

Goodson had a KR TD called back for holding last season. Against the Seahawks I think.

      89 on The Pivot

      Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy.

      Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.

      This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
