Official fire Maurice Drayton

[Fritz]

One guy who might become available after the season is Joe Judge. Judge may be fired from his job as Giants HC after this year. Before he was the Giants HC, Judge was the Patriots ST coach from 2015-2019.

Should they hire him at the end of the season, once the Gints fire him?

You be the Judge.

But as Bretsky has said, repeatedly, we've been hiring assistants to the assistant for years now. How's that working out?

Go outside the organization, and pony up. Get a professional special teams coach in there at the end of the season. For now, have The Flower hovering nearby at ST portions of practice, get involved a little, and spend more time on ST.

I posted this in the More Banjo thread, but I should have posted it here:

One thing we don't know if how much practice time is being devoted to ST. Maybe they need more. The other issue is which players are being made available to the ST units. I was surprised a couple of weeks ago to see Cooper Kupp returning punts for the Rams. Mecole Hardman, the Chiefs #2 WR, returns punts for them. But the Packers have a struggling rookie returning punts.

In Green Bay, the ST coordinators change, but the situation remains the same. I have to think there's a culture problem in Green Bay, where the importance of ST's is not stressed enough.

After the season, you hire one from outside the organization. I don't see how you can keep Drayton as HC with all the drama and ineptitude there. Mid season firing won't help, it never does.

Didn't they have a chance to hire a stud but the cheaped out? Want great results? Gotta pony up.

It will surprise no-one if 'Teams cost us a game in the playoffs.

Kickoffs, kick it out of the end zone, punts kick it out of the end zone, returns down it on kicks, fair catch punts no returns.

Still have 3 games to fix this shit. Mason “the Snowman” Crosby is worrisome. The rest of the shit are fixable, including catching the damn rock.

Crosby is incapable of kicking it through end zone if kicking into a wind. Fair catching punts is no guarantee they won't muff it.

Tyler Ervin is available.

If they fix the problems with kick coverage, it doesn't matter if Crosby kicks it out of the end zone.

Good to know. The NFL season’s lease hath all too short a date.

I’m all for a 20-game season.

To more accurately reflect the situation, and in the interests of honesty and transparency, change the name from "Special Teams" to "Special Teams Disaster," and then we can all agree that STD's are hurting this team more than anything else.

I wouldn't mind seeing Valdez-Scantling returning kickoffs and maybe St. Brown returning punts.

What I was thinking during that game, though, is WHY did we use a fairly high draft pick for a plodder like Amari Rodgers when there must be several Jakeem Grant type speed burners coming out of college every year that get drafted below Amari if at all?

Most of the special teams blunders, though, were mental mistakes/on the coach(es) - not staying in your lane in coverage, etc. Crosby's declining leg strength or Amari's dropping the ball, arguably that's not the fault of the coach, but most of the shit is.

Our GM reportedly love Amari Rodgers as a WR and considered him in round 2 as well. Time will tell I guess.
