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.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
