J.K. Scott - What has happened to his performance?

[texaspackerbacker]

Even if we started every drive at the opponents 20, we would still have a lot of trouble scoring

Yeah, because our O Line couldn't block worth shit.

It was pretty interest in an interview with Mason Crosby yesterday. They asked him about Scott and he was pretty coy in his answer. There is definitely something either injury or mechanical that they are aware of that they're not saying.

[Fritz]

Coy? Sounds like maybe Crosby thinks Scott's penis is getting tangled up with his kicking leg.

Better "straighten that out" right away...

Ah, I'm just messing with you, Suds. Good take there.

We have our answer - Scott said they tried to change his drop point four games ago, to increase hang time, and it screwed him up.

It wasn’t broke, why try and fix it?

Per the article, it was specifically due to their concern about KC's return game. They wanted no returns.

That sure backfired on them.

St coach needs to be fired then imo

More proof he needs to be fired. For the Season, we have negative 14 yards total for punt returns

So far, he seems to be inadequate, to say the least.

Do you wish to join Fritz and me on a Special Teams kidnapping spree?

That is the worst reason I can imagine.

Bob McGinn might have gone overboard but he was right about one area. Not hiring a kicking specialist coach was a disaster for this team several times over.

[Sparkey]

That's just insane. Why fuck around with his timing mid season. That's like someone trying to change their golf swing to get 5 more yards and all you do is end up pulling half your shots.

The coach who suggested that obviously has no clue how simple it is to screw up your timing.

See, thing is, sounds simple. Let the ball drop an extra half second before kicking it. Problem is, he has kicked a certain way for years. So even though he lets it drop a fraction longer, subconsciously your body is still trying to keep on time with your old kicking routine so you end up rushing your leg.

Ah, now we know ol' Sparky was a punter back in the day.

Is this Jerrel Wilson? I hear he used to like to spark one up, once in a while.

Is this Some kind of unbreakable Record??? I Knew the Return team was Lacking but that is Ridiculous...Just Wow

It now seems unclear where this brilliant idea came from. One comment in an article referred to the coaches allowing Scott to "try (it)", so it may have originated from Scott himself. With young players especially, part of a coach's job is to provide guidance, even protect the player from himself.
