MULLY Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 I'm sitting here right now watching the Browns game. Even though our D gave up 51pts I can not honestly lay all the blame on them. Our special teams sucked ass big time. Under normal circumstances, stopping the returner around the 30-35 yard line, I see 2 touchdowns not happening for the Browns. Really, no one can say that they wouldn't have gone the rest of the way down the field, but when you let them start in the red zone it's pretty much a given. Also, Edwards got extremely lucky catching that ball laying on his back when it was tipped. Can't really blame the D for that one. They got their hands on it and the football Gods sent it straight to him. That was a huge gain too. All I'm saying, and I hate to admit this, that Go was right when he was ranting about the special teams. They really sucked ass. MULLY after watching TJ's TD frame by frame I agree, it was good. No one can complain about that one unless there's a new "it was close to being incomplete" rule. hehe!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randle P McMurphy Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 No doubt special teams played like shit. They did in week 1 as well. Losing Kaesviharn and Stewart to free agency hurt ST's not to mention injuries. We'll see just how good of a coach Simmons is this year. He's done a good job in the past he'll just have to do it with less this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Joker Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 I am also begging to wonder, How efficient is it to be using a shit load of defensive starters on ST? Is it burning them out during the game. When Jamal Lewis can OUT RUN the entire D then I think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you do have to like their chances of making a tackle as opposed to an offensive player... (insert punchline here ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
