I remember a few blocked punts, blocked FGs, missed FGs, returns for TDs, nothing on our punt or kick off returns and my favorite, a snapped punt that rolled to the punter...just before it got blocked. Who else do we blame? Do we cut all 15 guys who make up our Special Teams? If so, cut the guilty parties and find others out there...
I don't disagree with you fredp45. The cap penalty was a big factor, but either way its been a horrible year for special teams. I won't have any issue with getting rid of Keith Burns. I was commenting mostly though on that spectacle Sunday. Just seemed kind of ridiculous to overlook the players' role in that and immediately have people on here shouting "BURNS!!!!"
I will say though, out of the 15 guys who are currently playing on our special teams this year, I'll bet you half of them won't be there next year.
