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.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
