The punter/Washington combo scares me. Still have visions of the Caleb Lightbourne blooper reel in my head 🙃

Odd take since we are clearly never going to punt again. But I guess our returners do need to practice.

We need to scheme to allow for punt returns. What we do doesn't provide much of an opportunity.

And IF you do get a few yards on a return it seems like 80% of the time you get called for holding.... Just sayin. There's a reason why fair catches are so common across football.

watch some other football. Punt returns aren't as common as some think.

There were about a half dozen guys in the Big 10 who averaged more than 10 yards a punt return. Somehow other teams make it work. Nobody is allowed to watch special teams practice, but I suspect that NU puts in less time on special teams than any other team in the Big 10. And when we do practice it, it must be at the end of practice or at the start of practice. Maybe they do it as a warmup? Sounds stupid, but hey, how many kicks did we get blocked this year? It's bad year after year.

Everyone can see that Foley should have been let go by now, and he keeps hanging around.
It’s been my biggest pet peeve about Rhule..

To add to this, whenever they do practice ST, I’m curious if there is consistency of who is available? Guys getting to practice late due to ‘classes’, getting extra treatment from training staff, etc. The old adage of “You play like you practice “ might apply here.

It might be more than just Foley. Not to defend him, but this might be a not putting in enough time or emphasizing it enough issue.

And we get exactly the type of results you would expect if that is how it is being done.
