Thats for sure. Symanski made a 60 yarder in Lubbuck and Sada can't even kick the ball 40 yards with no wind off a tee. Why is he kicking off?
Time to give Fields or butler a chance to field punts, this will cost us a game one day, we have been lucky so far.

Posted: Sat Oct 09, 2010 11:30 pmSada does not have a strong enough leg, and Johnson seems lost as a punt returner. So the answer, of course, is to keep rolling them both out there?
Sada also does not know how to cover kickoffs. He is supposed to be the safety valve, and yet on more than one kickoff tonight he was too far down on coverage and got passed up. Thankfully, we had fast guys who were able to catch the returner from behind.
Johnson also needs to be introduced to the fair catch.

Posted: Sat Oct 09, 2010 11:44 pmThere is no question it will cost us a game if this does not improve. You can't let good teams return kickoffs to the 40 each time and you certainly can't fumble punt returns inside the 10 on a regular basis.

Re: Our punting and kickoffs
Posted: Sat Oct 09, 2010 11:48 pmCan someone send JJ a memo that we'd like to see Butler or Fields back there from now on? Hell, put anyone out there that can field it cleanly, and just tell them to call for a fair catch every time. That would be better than the crap we are putting out there now.

Should also add in there that our blockers need to gain some field awareness so as to not run into Darius as he's trying to catch the punt

not when you have players staying in their lanes, fields blew his contain bad after our last touchdown (he also made a great play on another special teams play)
