It's the worst I've seen in 40 yrs and it isn't close.

Special teams in general has left a lot to be desired.

Punts have been bad, and I'll give him a pass on the blocked punt from Saturday.

Put Ramsey in there to punt.

It would not upset me at all if we never saw him step foot on the field again.

Watching the blocking...if #91 Josh Dawson gets just a little outside shove he potentially throws Fitzpatrick off his direct track to Barber. He has to block the man in front first but he is or should be coached to get a shove on the outside man coming to knock him off the track. He just turns and watches.

We've always had able kicking (aside from kickoffs ) that could be relied on to turnover a field. Frustrating to watch.

This is true, but I always have to wonder why we have so much trouble getting touchbacks. Thankfully our coverage team has played well.

The blocking on that punt block was just so terrible. Barber has also been nothing special, even when he isn't lollygagging getting the punt off.

It's not even the block that's concerning, it's the fact that we can't seem to turn the field over.

I know Richt used to directional kick by design. I'm not sure what the strategy is currently?

When we need a long punt, it goes 30 yards. When we need a short punt, it goes into the end zone.

Just so bad. We double teamed one guy to let a guy come around unblocked. Either a dumb player or a dumb coaching job.

That's all on Dawson. He should have should have picked up Fitzpatrick.
