Spillnation Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 If special teams performs brutal in this game we've got to replace Crossman. Easley is a helluva gunner among other terrific athletes on our ST. Theres no excuse... Marrone has high expectations for his players and coaching cannot hold this team back. I'd like to see what ol Bobby April's up to these days. Any takers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Bobby April was severely overrated. I've stated this a few time but I thought he was terrible for our team. He was given far too much say in personal and we have ZERO backups at any position. How many times while he was here did we have to sign guys off the street to play LB for us because we didn't have a viable backup? It was a joke that we had to IR Poz with a 3 week injury in week two because we had no viable backup. We had great returns and coverage yeah, but our offense and defense couldn't get past one injury because we had no depth at all. I was glad when he was passed over and let go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Our field goal unit has done very well. Our punting team hasn't allowed a block. I do have one question. How much weight did he have in keeping the punter we released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 How much weight did he have in keeping the punter we released? 210 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyHorseAteTheKid Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Half the time they look great in coverage, then it's like someone throws a kill switch and they can't tackle.. Not sure what the fix is but it will cost them big time soon enough.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 210 lbs. Well, thanks for your meeting your obligation of adding content to TSW. 1 post a day, keep it up. But, it was funny. Seems a little light for making a decision...was he minus 9 lbs.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalScotts Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 he has a job with oakland...and he is still a good special teams coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Johnson Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Everyone wants to blame coaching. Replacing a coach midseason would suggest that the problems have been schematic. I don't think that this is necessarily true. The final return in the Bengals game happened because of a lack of execution by the players. That was a good punt and the players were in position to make the tackle. Marrone made it clear in his presser after the Dolphins game that Carpenter mishit the kickoff. That ball should have been out the back of the end zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
