Fake punt

[ChrisL97]

It's ridiculous. You'll go years before you see an opponent go for and convert a fake punt from inside their 35 yard line. We have it happened to us twice in the last 4 weeks. Fassel needs to be fired

 

[Adiba1977]

idiotic. Tolbert needs be taken off punts. How the bell do you leave your man. Block him!!!!! N

Fassel is a good coordinator, but needs to be reigned in.

The scouting report is very clearly that Dan Campbell likes to roll the dice.

On ST, that means you wait for him to beat himself

BS we've got one of the best punt returners in the league who can't ever return because we haven't figured out how to block the gunners.

Fair point.

But Bones also has dialed up some pretty nice blocks over the last two years.

 

[Cowboy_svt]

Bones has been great since hes came here

But

This year he / the players have been atrocious. Outside of the giants game i havent seen one positive in the ST game, and a bunch of negatives

The funny thing is both times I've literally screamed "watch the fake" before they ran it. If I can predict these things, IDK how professional coaches can't. Insane to me.

They are attacking when #18 is the gunner.

True we've had a couple of blocks but if I remember correctly the last one was on a great individual play by the lineman and not necessarily schemed up. Fassell is skating on the play of our kicker IMO.

Like the one in Miami. Yea, that worked out well..

Tolbert was the one beat on both of these. He was not the one covering the gunner after that.

He wasn't on the field for either of their final two punts.

 

[loublue22]

combine that with the fiasco against the Chargers and he should be shown the door

I was looking like where the heck is Tolbert doing lol. I guess he was thinking aint no way they fake the punt here. He should be removed from that spot on the punt team. I mean its not like they are blocking anyone anyways.

You mean Buffalo?

That one was more on 54 IMO. Should have been a game changing play, but he left his feet unnecessarily

 

[The Natural]

punt return coverage has sucked all year

 

[Brooksey]

Our punt team sucks

 

[ChrisL97]

Who's responsible for putting someone else in that spot besides tolbert

 

[big dog cowboy]

Two weeks in a row Bones got schooled. Coach these guys up.

I've never seen a team give up a fake punt like that ever two games in a row.

This is Football 101 stuff not some high level trickery play.

 

[J12B]

Honestly I thought it was just a great play by the Lions.

Cowboys had the run defended well.

The receiver got behind Tolbert and the RB or Safety of the Lions dropped a great throw on the run leading the receiver.
