Agreed, unfortunately. This phase of the game killed us yesterday. Right now, this team's margin for error is so thin as it is (especially with not getting turnovers). They have to be consistently much better in ST going forward and it will really help towards getting the W as there's a lot of talent on O & D.

Can't help but think that this whole unit must be woefully down on confidence. Especially Wish and Cannon. Gould must be done. Next man up!

Hightower is in charge of the part of the team that gets roasted regularly. Pattern is consistent. Looks like it could lose a few more games for the team. I hope not.

Year 5. Still the weak link.

If Cannon is back there again returning KOs and does anything stupid, like let the ball bounce deep down in play where it stays in play like last game, or worse he fumbles again, I'm gonna be pissed as this team's margin for error against good teams right now is razor thin. Can't have crappy ST and especially can't have TOs on ST. Hightower should definitely be under the microscope (shouldn't been awhile ago IMO).

Wow

He seems like a good dude coaching the most raw of players. Yes I want more, but a few weeks ago the ST was great.

He is fired up.
Nov 11, 2021 at 2:34 PM
He's mediocre at best. Haven't seen a punt or kick return to the house this guys whole tenure with the team

But he is a good cheer leader. Probably the least of our concerns TBF. Heck just had a 3rd rounder cut without a snap. At least the 4th rounder on ST has started every game.

Please forgive me but I want to paste an extract from the presser with RH's answer. I need someone to translate this as it makes no sense whatsoever. I mean he has looks going on Dontae Johnson doing PP's?????
He has never had a fake called. Ever. What are they looking for? And he said our offense is so good that they have not needed to call a fake. Ummm Hello. George McFly Any body home?

Without being specific, have there been instances where you had a fake in but didn't run it because you didn't get the look?

"Sure. Yeah. They're always, just like on offense or defense, there's always plays in that you have that you could can or check out of or whatever if you have a look and we thought we had a look and didn't have a look and guys get out of it. That's happened several times. Yeah. And that's why you've got to have your guys in there trained that know how to recognize looks. And I think for us, we've got a lot of different PPs that can recognize that. And I can point out just [CB] Dontae Johnson and a consummate pro he's being throughout this. And he's very smart and he knows how to look at those things and we trust him a ton."""

Lies. So many lies. The dude has been here for 75 games with an athletic Rugby punter and not one single fake. Not one. b******t.

The Fair Catch Coach is full of s**t and now we know why Dontae Johnson is constantly on this roster.

Our coaches LOVE s**tty players.

Good thing is they stopped the Rams fake kick.

Bad thing is this will embed in their thinking to never run a fake of their own.

that fake kick wasn't even necessary lol... your a 7-2 team with lots of upside and the team you're playing against played one of their best 1st half of the season. You go down only 11 after one half is a win especially if you have a so called high powered offense... lol hightower is a GOD in this sense and the Ram's special team coach or mcvay needs to be on the hot seat.

I thought special teams were a lot better this week. That being said Hightower still doesn't convince me.
