^^ Looks like you are more on the side of coaching. I pretty much agree. How does Hawk not stay with the deepest possible receiver, knowing no one else is back there? How does House not know his assignment right away? Why would Bostick go for the ball when he knows he is to block? Why does Cobb dance around on punt returns instead of bursting upfield immediately (like Hyde does)?

I'm in the camp of guessing they don't spend enough time on ST as a group. You have to practice the basics AND all those crazy scenarios together as a group so that when they happen, reactions are natural and immediate.

It is about accountability. I don't think Slocum is a good enough coach to truly demand that of his players. You have to be on top of your game if you expect to demand it of others.

Shawn Slocum was right there to blast Brandon Bostic when he got to the side line after Seattle's successful onside kick.

Slocum was irate !

When he first commented on the Packers' loss at Seattle in the NFC Championship in his opening remarks, McCarthy said:

the team "let it get away."

Problem is that a sideline blowup is ineffectual at that point. Everyone knew the cost. It needed to be driven home long before that.
