Understatement of the Year alert....

Our kickoff team needs help...preferably before Arenas gets to town.

 

[pDigital32Dawg]

We need someone with a leg that can kick it to the endzone and not to the 12 yard line. That is really hurting us the most.

 

[smellmyfinger]

that should help a good deal on kickoff distance.

 

[TXDawg.sixpack]

why we kept kicking off to Cobb. That 17'er had 142 kick-off return yards on 5 attempts. Can DePasquale just not kick it to the right side of the field. Surely Mullen wasn't telling him to kick it to Cobb. I was just SURE he was going to take one back.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

sounds like he is available for short kicks, so maybe he will be ready in two weeks.

 

[maroonmania]

you might as well give to our punt coverage team as well. And I agree about Arenas, would not surprise me for him to have AT LEAST 2 TDs on kickoff and punt returns when Bama plays us.

 

[Original48]

that we play Bama tough but lose because of two returns for a TD.

...Doesn't Mullen do like Jackie & "make special teams his own?"

If that's the case, then Mullen needs to turn special teams over to somebody else.

Because MSU's kickoff & punt return coverage are horrible.

What I can't understand is the MSU defense loves to hit people, but the guys on the kickoff coverage & punt coverage teams look like they want to avoid contact at all costs.

Not one headhunter to be found in the whole bunch.

And probably won't kill us with kick-off returns because I don't anticipate our offense scoring too much.
