True, it seems we have had a few guys overrun the tackle opportunity as well. Like they’re going for the big hit rather than a more sure tackle. Have to be under control.

SemperFeist Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 11 hours ago, PrplChilPill said: You want him to punt less far? I've never quite understood this. Yes. Distance is not always your friend when punting. The farther away you kick the ball, the farther your coverage team needs to run. And that leads to a high probability of better punt returns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
