KO Returns

[~lyser]

Take the touchback!!!!! It's like what the old timers used to say about the forward pass - four things can happen running a KO out of your own endzone and three of them are bad:

1. Fail to reach the 25
2. Fumble
3. Penalty

Interestingly, it looked like Cooper may have had a nice return on that play where he coughed it up. Still, I hold my breath every time he runs it out of the endzone, expecting a penalty, turnover or (at best) failure to reach the 25. As a matter of fact, I believe one of those three has happened EVERY time so far this year.

I'm getting to the "hold my breath" stage with Tavon and punt returns. It seems like he's always been fumble prone but when he's doing it while his snaps are so limited then it stands out more.

Yeah, TA has a bad case of the butterfingers this year. Two muffed punts and did you see where he almost fumbled the pitch? Probably because of his small...hands (did you think I was going to say penis?)

I yell at the TV everytime to stay in the endzone . There is no Tony Horne on this team .

 

[den-the-coach]

Special Teams let us down tonight even Zuerlein kicking the ball out of bounds before half time. Enough, tell Cooper to take the damn touch back and replace Austin with Kupp for Punt Returns to send a message.

 

[12intheBox]

Ball security has been an issue all over the field.

We have something more of an Az Hakim (I still have nightmares of that muff against the Saints in the playoff game).

 

[LACHAMP46]

I'd rather have Running Backs handling Kickoffs....or very, VERY fast receivers....that have great hands...and are solid...over 210 lbs.

Right now...Cooper and Tavon are shaky.

Speaking of kick returns. Whiner fans are ignoring their choke slam of Johnson who's going to catch the on side kick.

Bones deserves a kick in the nuts.

Unreal.

 

[wolfdogg]

Yeah, how does fossil not tell cooper to down it in the end zone and my patience has run out with tavon. He's either fair catching or waving people off kicks that he has time to return or he's dancing too much. Now, he's added fumblitis. Unless he does a huge 180, hes probably gone next year

I wasn't a fan of Austin when they drafted him and I'm with you... I'm out on him.

Hekker makes Bones ...

Everyone except Goff which is interesting.
Gurley has 3 fumbles the last two games.
Austin, Cooper etc.

 

[99Balloons]

I think Pharoh or Tavon were trying too hard to be electric. Tavon has the the tendency to look up field when the ball comes down because he was scanning the field for an opening lane to take it to the house. Coach Bones need to emphasize ball security first before busting for a big run.

 

[SteezyEndo]

trying too hard to be electric.

Bam. Exactly. TA tries too hard to be electric but barely has any praiseworthy returns. PC tried too hard to be electric at an unnecessary time. Excitement got the best of PC he gets a pass, but almost cost us the damn game. TA meh, i dont know. He isn't doing it for us period.
