Special teams

[expireddog]

Sobiesk is almost money from inside 40.

But for the life of me I can't believe we don't have anyone better than holloway or Johnson to return kicks. Neither pick a lane and hit it, they both want to dance.

Also shumpert completely whiffed on the punt block.

This was a game where a big special teams play could've made the difference.

Ross did fine fielding punts even had a nice return on one.

We didn't muff any so for that I am grateful.

I thought the special teams hurt us as much as Dak's ints.

Agreed. Our kickoff returns are anemic--we'd be much better off to just let the ball go into the end zone when we can.

If you want to point at special teams that hurt us, look at the punting. We have had decent to good punting all year till today. Hell, my 16 year old could have made better punts in the first half which kept us inside the 25 on offense and Bama starting about their own 40. Its a wonder we didn't give up more than 19 with the field position of the first half.

I love rojo and all, but he is a big, physical possession-type receiver. Not a speed guy. Not a kick returner. Go with tubby, Myles, maybe Redmond.
