I bet Mitch is itching to truck some fools.

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

My sentiments exactly.

It's all about the personnel because he doesn't have to tell them what to do. They act on instinct. (That is in effect what he said but I am sure this stuff is in the play book).
They damn near got a FG at the end of the half off a long return and were returning well. So maybe NOT kick to him in the 2nd half? Talk about zero game awareness.

That return hurt. I don't know who's on special teams, but they have to tighten that up for Seadderall.
Allowed Minny to stick around and have a chance to tie the game. Terrible performance again.
the returns + gould miss. dont think speciak teams was well prepared
Nearly lost the game. This unit is under prepared, uninspiring, under utilized and outgunned. It won't matter until an important game is lost and the "too late" naval gazing happens.

I mean, ST's have been a problem for a long time now. Shouldn't take some monumental mistake to set things in motion. Writing has been on the wall forever.

him amd meeks should exchange interviewing tips

It plays scared too. Punt returners are just told to fair catch. Today Brandon signaled FC with no one within 10 yards. And that's because gunners are getting beat a ton. I guess they try to limit the fakes but ST unit is just mediocre at best. With that said, Tartt really has to make that tackle. He makes that tackle and its a 35-40 yard return instead of a TD

Robbie was not good today either, one make barely off the post. Second one just a bad miss right from the right hash.

The gunners aspect is my biggest frustration. One or both usually win every single time and almost always make the immediate tackle. It's almost like its coached, like it is to fair catch. But so often if just one was blocked and we didn't fair catch, there would be huge gains flipping the field.
