Crossman expects some growing pains early on special teams because they’ll have so many young, inexperienced faces.

“We are going to have to work through it with young guys,” Crossman said. “You hope it doesn’t happen and you coach the heck out of it and talk about all sorts of things. But when you get on the field there will be some ups and downs.”

Coach 'em up Crossman! Special Teams are so damn important.

last year was the only one in a long time that we haven't struggled mightily on STs...and that was with how many blocked punts?

crossman was on borrowed time going into last year but he bought himself a bit by correcting the blocked punt thing. the rest of it was good but i don't know how much had to do with coaching. next year we may have to rely on crossman's coaching ability more. color me concerned.

I guess it's time we start enforcing our 18+ age rule.

None.

His 2008 stats were well below average, he might remember how to play, but he didn't choose 2008 to prove it. Maybe Cutler will help.

Crossman has sucked for some time. It is funny that now he is going to warn us ahead of time they are going to suck. In the past we just found it out as the season unfolded. At least he thinks he has an excuse. Problem is that other teams have young players too and they do fine. Maybe it isn't the players.

Well at least we have Rhys going for us, which is nice.

Too funny the way you put this!:rofl:

Perhaps he knows since interview opportunities are rare for him, he wants to get the message out while he can.
