Punt Return

[RedMyMind]

Not a big fan of having Tyjon Lindsey back there.
He doesn't have the first step needed like JD has.
Is young and has the Newby-itis of going too parallel.

Yeah, I get that. Also, his skill set to me is better used as that Duck-R type runner; he's a former 5 star recruit because he's quick and he can make cuts that are super-human, but so far I haven't seen him do anything significantly great on punt returns.

Aside from coverage - I thought special teams play was poor - put in a hole several times with penalties. Needs to get sorted or we need to fair catch every kickoff and just take the ball at the 25

Agreed, he's not very big, not very fast, and not very shifty. I'm sure we have other players on the roster who could do better.

Yes but some of those blocks on special teams are judgement calls

Oh good grief, the calls were so stinking obvious, more than one on some plays. One play had two officials throw their flags at the same time it was so obvious. This is about coaching and making certain you can see the guys numbers or you don't block him. Yes, I could say it was a judgement problem, the players.

What about cole Conrads holding that was a bs call

Not when you can’t see the eyes of the guy you’re blocking sitting in the South endzone it was ridiculous watching blocks in the back

That's one advantage of TV. They don't/can't show most of those replays at the stadium. Those plays happen so fast.

I thought on a few of those ko returns, they should have just stayed in the end zone and got better field position.
