Our ST are abysmal.

That punt should have been fielded.

We can't make a FG if our life depended on it.

We are a penalty waiting to happen receiving a KO.

We have not improved in any aspect since game 1.

As bad as our coordinators are, I fully believe our ST's have been the worst part of our team from game 1.

the punt should have been caught, but Simpson (I love how he has developed as a CB) should have been watching the ball (in case it shanked) before he engaged blocks.

Field Goals, I dont think the problem was Carlson before he got hurt, more the center and holder, they changed this year, Carlson is still there. May be part of the problem with the new kicker as well.

Overall it could use some work, as could all facets of our game.

The missed field goal is actually one of the toughest on the field due to the extreme angle of it. Had it been centered on the play before it makes it infinitely easier but it is a rough angle.

The punt should have absolutely been fielded in that situation.

I’ve seen coaches take a delay of game to improve that angle.

Also, if our next kicker in line is right footed, he may have had an easier time making the kick from that hash.

It's not this one kick. I can't remember the last game that we didn't miss/get blocked on a FG.

You are right.

I would add that the timing and protection seem not to be as polished as usual.

The whole process is out of kilter. From snap, to hold, to protection.
