maybe Robbie has been injured? Idk.
I've seen a lot of people wanting a kicker who can get touchbacks on a regular basis, but why not just improve the coverage? I thought for the longest time that he was kicking them short on purpose, because now that the ball is placed at the 25, it should be easier to stop them at, say the 10 or 15, than just giving them 25 yards for nothing. Shouldn't we focus on that instead? Not to mention that kicking into the end zone isn't an automatic touchback anyway.
I always thought he was too. Haha
the best coverage on a kickoff is a touchback. I would still rock with Gould, it just always gives the team a chance to get more injuries, give up big returns, or a touchdown. I think our special teams coverage was much improved this year though.
im not saying you, but I feel like special teams play is so underrated. Ours is just fine, it would just be nice to get touchbacks.
i wonder if wish could bomb a kickoff?
