Screw you special teams

[Smeefers]

I don't know if I can say fuck in a thread title, but that's the proper sentiment if you ask me. I hate it. Absolutely hate it. Our special teams still sucks balls. They've sucked balls for years. They're professional ball suckers who are lead by a guy who's title should turn from special teams coordinator to Master Ball SUCKER.

I know we had a great return, but you know what? It should of never happened. I'm glad it did, but it shouldn't of happened. He was 8 deep in thend zonene. He risked himself and he defied the coaches to get it done. Throw on top of that a punt return, a deep kick off return and a kick that damn near went out of bounds and I say our special teams wherabysmalal. The only topping on the cake would be iVincecWilforkrk came out of nowhere and ran one back on us too. Once again, I will lay this down at Shawn Slocum's feet. Fuck this guy. Seriously.

What in gods name does he have to do to get fired? He's lead the shittiest special teams our I've ever seen our franchise put on the field and he's doneconsistentlyntly for four years. There's no excusManagementment is pissing me off with the decision to keep this guy. I was listening to the radio and some talking head said it best. I'll paraphrase: "Special teams will keep an average team in the game with a good team that should be smashing them. One day, crappy special teams will turn around and bite you in the ass. Also, fuck Shawn Slocum."

That is a very good question, what does Slocum have to do to get fired? Does he have black mail material? Is he a relative? Is he a hypnotist? Practice voodoo?
There is no legitimate excuse to keep that man from what I have seen over the years. Maybe the fire ted thompson guy can switch over to Fire Shawn Slocum? Any one know how to get ahold of him?

abso-fucking-lutley

He's been the coordinator for 2 years, plus 1 game. He may not have deserved to be retained after last year, but teams usually don't fire coordinators after winning the Super Bowl.

[Upnorth]

Its only been two years? Wow it feels like a decade of pain already!

[Joemailman]

He was the assistant 2007-2008, and the coordinator 2009-present.

thats because the guy before him was equally as bad, but of course he got canned for sucking this bad

[Upnorth]

At least our special teams are better than San Diego's. That is called a moral victory.

[rbaloha1]

Agree about st -- very inconsistent. Players are still undisciplined in staying in their lanes.

The previous excuse was injuries thus the lack of continuity.

[smuggler]

If this keeps up, I don't see us retaining him beyond this season.

[Bretsky]

Slouch Slocum is junk; he assists a guy who got fired and then inherits the job and performs worse than the previous guy.
The punter and SB victory saved his job last year; hard to fire a coach after winning the SB.

But he's still the same slouch he's been the past two years IMO

[King Friday]

It's all about pad level.

[gbgary]

special teams scored 12 points.

[Guiness]

special teams scored 12 points.

Mmm. 'cause God told him to run it back from 8 yards deep, not Slocum.

[Fritz]

I think Slocum is lucky he's had Randall Cobb dumped in his lap. But with all the players kept because of their special teams skills, how come the punt coverage team was sucking so badly?

Slocum. Ugh.
