Do you think our Special Teams coverage could cost us games this year?

I am generally careful not to over-react to what we see in preseason, but yes, I am very worried. Something is wrong with how these guys are being positioned or coached. We cannot cover a kick, and we cannot return one without a flag.

Unless there is a drastic turnaround, I would be very happy to see Brian Murphy seek employment elsewhere.

NO! Everyone is totally over reacting to a preseason game in which nobody was playing their positions. And if they were they were trying to not get hurt.

Geez... This is outta hand

It cost us games last year...

Nothing yet suggest it isn't still a weakness and liability

TCF, take your fuggin homer goggles off for a god damned minute.

I understand the concern... I get it. I just refuse to hit the panic button over the final preseason game where the ST's players aren't even on the field at the same time bro. You got reserves in there trying to make the team. 22 of those guys won't make the team, may I remind you?

We're they returning punts for TD's when we faced the Jets? Oh that's right... That's when the REAL ST unit was on the field. For once, I can tell y'all to chill and pump the breaks.

We've all been there before. It's cool. Just breathe... I love each and every one of you and can't wait to go through this season with every one of you.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.

      If the Canes don't bring back Tyson Jost or Jack Roslovic, is Tanner Jeannot an option? https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2025/06/senators-expected-to-show-interest-in-tanner-jeannot.html
