When has that unit ever been good?

Not kick blocking...blocking on kick returns

Tackling & blocking are frowned upon in practice

I think any memory of us having good kick return blocking would be in long term memory. I think it was a legitimate question.

It's well enough to know that we haven't been that good in awhile (probably since Henderson).

tackling issues reared their heads on Tech's last touchdown where the player ran halfway to Lubbock and back to score a TD

That TD wasn't tackling issues, it was exhausted player issues.
Kick return blocking definitely wasn't great. Lots of young players on the kick return team, so hopefully it will improve.

I was watching on our kick and punt returns, Tech players would just run right by our so called blockers. \

Says the guy who said we would beat Tech due to greater depth in our defense this year.

You cannot argue with people that think not going full speed in practice does not matter. Well, the SEC does full contact, full speed and that is enough evidence for me. And if we do not do it because of lack of depth then maybe we should be hitting our recruiters full speed.

I second this thought. 
About 25 feet from the Hillcrest track... With the boots so tall and the writing on the wall...
