Our special teams sucks

Not saying our kicking game is great but man if you guys are watching other games this weekend the kicking is bad. Washington missed 3 FGs last night. There have been three missed fgs in Illinois/ penn state game. 
 

in other words. We are not the only team suffering with kicking.

Yep, quite a few misses in the Penn State v. Illinois game as well.

 
Not talking about just missing fg’s. 
 

illinoise had several long returns on KO. 

CO had several creases on returns and had 2 nice returns. 
UNI had a return across the 50 

We don’t have a kicker that can consistently kick the ball into/thru the end zone. 
 

Our punt coverage doesn’t know how to run past a fair catch and down the ball. This has happened at least 3 times this year. 
 

our fg/pat line gets manhandled at point of attack leading to blocked kicks. 
and finally, we miss a lot of fg attempts.

Our blocks this game were not because the line got manhandled.

This is really annoying and I’d be pretty pissed if I were the punter.   He’s had some touchbacks that shouldn’t have been touchbacks as you’ve stated which costs field position.

I’ve watched the film. I think what I think. 
you can think what you think. 
 

if you think we are stout up front on FG/PAT blocking….well, ya know. That’s just like, your opinion man.

You do realize it was because of two horrible snaps, right?

you do realize the D-front got penetration?  
 

how about we add bad snaps to the list of crappy special teams play? Then we are both right.

Coach already did. 
 


The ball barely got to shoulder pad level and our line never even took a step back.
