[QUOTE="senoiajacket, post: 345109, member: 3132"] This might seem crazy, but I didn't think our special teams play was that bad on Saturday. Obviously, there was the Long PR for a TD, but honestly, our coverage wasn't that bad on it. We had the guy pinned to the sideline and we had one guy who failed to do his job and keep him turned in and instead went for the tackle and missed it. If he simply turns him to the sideline there were two guys waiting there for him. So, it wasn't a tota breakdown. Outside of the kick return I would say we were slightly above average. Of course, I would like to see every KO into the end zone for a touchback, but I thought we got the ball fairly deep with good hang time & best of all were able to have good directional KO that made them take the ball in a corner. They average 20.7 per return w/ a long of 29. Skewed somewhat by the pooch a the end of the half, but even that was covered well and they ended up w/ the ball around the 25. Besides the long punt return they got nothing on there other two punt returns and we averaged a solid 45 yards per kick. One kick return for 26, so average there. Two punt returns averaging 11.5 per which is pretty good. Not so sure Stewart shouldn't have let that really long one he caught over the should on the 10 go, but I don't think he knew exactly where he was as he had to retreat 10-15 USA to get it. So all in all, one bad play by one guy, which should be easily correctable. Oh yeah, 5-5 on PATs with everything splitting the uprights! [/QUOTE]
