Screw you special teams

[bobblehead]

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

Another word for a moral victory is; loss.

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.

Yup. Cobb's return was due to effort not scheme or being well blocked.

Punter also must not kick right down the middle of field.

Holy wow the spelling was off. I spell checked it and everything. Raaar. I hate looking like a 4 year old. Especially when I'm throwing a temper tantrum.

It's good to see I'm not alone in my loathing of our ST play. I'd forgotten that he's only had two years and that he was an assistant before that. I actually now remember when they fired the last guy and brought up Slocum. I was wondering if it was a great guy to bring a guy up within who's been sucking it up the past two years with the current guy. I'm not saying Winston Moss is a bad coach, but I think it would of been a bad idea to give him the DC job after Sanders was fired. You gotta see how to win before you can coach it.

I wanted Slocum gone right after the Superbowl, but knew he wouldn't go anywhere because of the Superbowl win.

I just don't know what the exact problem is with coverage units these last couple years, but the common denominator is Slocum. Fix the problem, get rid of Slocum. At least that will make me feel better.

Some damn rookie sets an NFL record on a KO return against you - I bet you want to fire your ST coach, eh?

Your punter has an off-day hitting the ball and directing it where it's supposed to go - fire the ST coach!

Fire, Fire, Fire!

[Fritz]

Dammit, mraynrand, Pittstang is right: fire the coach so we can feel better!

I want Nolan Cromwell back. Some guys were born to be ST coaches. Anything else is a waste!

How long are we going to have to suffer the indignity of horrible coverage units?

So do you think the Mr Slocum is worth keeping? Is he evne in the top 25 of ST coaches in the league?

[CaptainKickass]

I'd be willing to bet there's a better ST coach who is not currently employed in the NFL

I'm willing to give Stubby the benefit of the doubt that there isn't a better guy - or that he doesn't want to potentially disrupt things at this point for marginal gain.

If I recall, I think he stunk too until Desmond showed up. These coaches are so inconsistent.

Hopefully 2 more Super Bowls

I don't know. Sanders was consistent. Consistently bad...
