What I mean by this, is in the lean years of the late 80's early-mid 90's we at least had the Troy Davis's Geoff Turner, Blaise Bryant, etc. type players we could hang our hats on. We do not have any playmakers on this team.
And before I hear about Blythe, when was the last time he made a sportscenter type play? How about a long touchdown reception?
My awards for good play - Scales did not fumble, snapper appeared innocuous, Ace had to play pass defense and did well, the oline was not the problem.
If I never see improvement in special teams in next 5 games, I will not be surprised. I saw three guys race down field and then grind to a stop five yeards before the blockers knocked them down. Huh? What kind of sissy play was that. I saw RJ Sumrall catch kickoffs and then braincramp: run sideways for no yards, take a ball a yard from going out of bounds, running slow. Get someone elese to run it back to the 15. Brandtner? Inconsistent. Shaggy kickoffs? Thirty five yeards with the wind? Unbelievable. Special teams started the downfall in first quarter. Can we receuit someone who is really special teams?
