This. Every time, kick it through the end zone. Make them go all the way down the field starting at their own 25. Every single time.

Wish has a big leg...sometimes he must just miss-hit it or something. Or, maybe they sometimes try to kick it to around the 1 yard line to try to pin them in deep.

Who knows, but just don't mess around - kick it through the end zone every single time and make them drive the 75 yards for a TD.

might be the wind..? The breeze is pretty crazy over there... there's different wind velocities and directoions at multiple levels

Good point about the wind.

I've also heard Wish talk about sometimes just hitting it wrong on the kickoff. Regardless, when the ball doesn't get kicked through the end zone the guys on ST need to do their jobs and make the tackle. Yesterday wasn't good on a couple of occasions on KO coverage.
If a 4th round special teamer can't consistently strike a ball then he shouldn't have been a 4th rounder. It's called practice do it more rather than trying different style punts you'll never ducking use in a game.

Funny how it works out in other team's systems. I mean the Pats were going to take Wish so we moved up to get him first. Pats take the Berkley kid in the fifth round. That punter has better stats and their ST unit is way better coached. I won't go in to the Jimmy G, K Bourne, Mac Jones connection, but I do think we have a bigger nemesis than the Seahags or cowgirls now.

Ummm I think the wind is coming out of some of the coaching staff.
Let's be real folks, it's in our DNA: we never have had a legit sick special teams. Even with prime or geez Dexter fkn Carter. Tedd Ginn years was about the best we got.

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.

While having the fastest punter in the NFL lol.

if any coaches deserves to be fired it's this guy.

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.

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.

Rinse. repeat.
There is no reason for our kickoff not to hit the back of the end zone! If our kickers can't kick, bring someone in that can.
how does this guy still have a job
