Special teams just take away any momentum

 

[cyclonehomer]

We have looked better all season playing with pace, but that’s generally not the game plan

It doesn't fit their philosophy of hoping to score just enough to win.

 

[CentexCyclone]

Ok, I think we all see where this is going. Cyclone D going to start locking down, Offense going to slowly grind out some yards and points, then special teams or offense will find some new, novel way to lose.

 

[NoCreativity]

Lol, more special teams comedy.

 

[DSM4Cy]

That’s just so laughable.

 

[simply1]

Special teams drink!

 

[clonesorelse]

And then give up a big kick return. Of course. We need a big Rob Energy on special teams.

 

[Darius Bieber]

Needed that pick dangit

 

[CentexCyclone]

Special teams just take away any momentum

No joke. Thank God for Darrien Porter else that kick return was 6.

 

[khardbored]

I'd like to thank their return man for hesitating.

 

[RezClone]

We haven't given up a big return yet. What's the worst possible time we can bust that one out...?

 

[MLawrence]

O yeah, special teams…

 

[atlantacyclone]

Come on D! Get us the ball!

 

[CyBobby]

Lol at the people actually who thought we were going to pull this off. The defense has obviously given up on the year and we trotted on our horrible offense yet again. Looking forward to the offensive staff changes at the end of the year.

I AGREE the defense is JUST PLAYING OUT THE STRING...NOTHING TO PLAY FOR THIS YEAR!

I see no reason we need a ST coach. None.

 

[RezClone]

#margins.

 

[Inthesystem]

The only time the offense has looked threatening this year is when we’ve played with tempo. The problem is that the whole “complimentary football” thing requires that we play slow and eat clock. It’s obvious that we’ve tried to fit the square peg in the round hole this year and no matter how hard you try, it doesn’t work.

This is my biggest disappointment with the coaching. They’re not playing to the strengths we've had.

 

[DSM4Cy]

I see no reason we need a ST coach. None.

Nah, we can just let the coaches share that responsibility. It’s what’s always worked best.

 

[cyclonehomer]

Yes it is, but are you saying the bad pass to Noel is on Manning?

I'm saying that every single college QB will miss a deep ball.

I'm saying that you'll never have perfect execution and that the scheme this offensive staff runs asks for it a lot.
