So...yeah. At least you got to see what a return game looks like.

Wait a second. Russell Wilson's dad has the #1 and #2 best returners in college in Dante Pettis and D.J. Reed and Raheem Mostert and the best he can get out of these guys is Raheem Mostert as a gunner????
Raheem Mostert was a return freak for @BoilerFootball from 2011-2014 recording 2,289 yards solely on kick returns. #TBT

Now you can find @RMos_8Ball running into the end zone for the @49ers. pic.twitter.com/6X119wJJcx

The last time Mostert was used on a return of any kind that I can remember was when Baalke was still around.

I didn't even remember. But he looks like he does when he runs. Good vision!

He's definitely the opposite of that guy.

Really not liking the way our special teams is operating right now. Our punt returns seem to cost a ton of field position every game just by not catching the ball

Have we had one meaningful return this season?

No.
Maybe this guy can add this to the game. I get envious of other teams who even attempt a trick play once in a while. Hightower's big creative move this year was to use Goodwin as a middle gunner even though he already has the best combo of outsider gunners in the entire league in Mostert and Moore.
If this isn't the greatest trick play in kickoff return history we don't know what is pic.twitter.com/AiinhzgXXs

Yeah, WIsh has a lot of work to do and special teams has a lot of work to do in terms of creativity. Remember the one time we did the direct snap to Dashon Goldson (I think in 2012) and Goldson picked up 20 or 30 yards? Say what you will about Saleh, but he has had some great games and has done some good things on defense overall. On offense, we have seen for three seasons what Kyle is capable of. Special teams seems like it's not holding up it's end based on available talent.

Yeah. Hightower is so scared to screw up he's got Richie James running away from punts now.
