I hope Special Teams are not an afterthought this year ~

Some good off season topics so far (!) with most (reasonably) about who is available and do we want them -

I know we need Defense. Beason wont be able to do it all. Another pass rusher, some help for Gamble.

For years we have looked for a replacement for Muhammad (s?), someone to take pressure off Smith. We keep failing. I have a lot of hope for Lafell and Gettis - but truth is we are going to have to look for Smith's replacement in a few years. :(

Anyway - I hope the staff pays some serious attention to our Special Teams. I don't want us to be an afterthought or teams put together from scraps. I want us to be a threat on PR and KR. I want to not cringe everytime our kicker goes out to attempt a field goal. I want punts to go out of bounds from the 1-5 yard line!!

Ok..wishful thinking...but dang...is it Armanti's fault hes not a return man or is the blocking scheme just continually suck? Mare is good in the fact we dont need two kickers, one for kick offs and one for field goals but if we cant count on him to make them he has to go.

Surely there has to be some people in the draft that can (literally) kick butt.

    • It's definitely a historical issue at QB but to be perfectly blunt, we also don't do a good job of really developing almost any position if you look at the last decade or so. I tend to be on the side of that being far less a development issue than an evaluation deficiency.  I think we are in the situation at QB2/3 recently due to the overall roster being absolutely abhorrent and the QB classes being quite thin. It is harder to justify another Matt Corral(or several) when you can potentially get a real two deep contributor at other positions.  But, it was a lot of hard work to get to the point where are roster is so incredibly bad that luxury picks literally are not in our vocabulary.  This is the reaping what you sow portion of our history.
    • That is what I meant about our front office. They are like someone filling out a March Madness bracket based on preference of uniform colors and mascots. There's no rhyme of reason to some of these fugg'n mind numbing decisions they make.  They go all in on these flimsy-@ss prospects and are gun shy when it comes to more solid prospects.  It's literally maddening and the reason I stopped being so emotionally involved in this team. Heck the only reason I'm active on the board today is one, it's my day off and two, it's cut down time.
