Twitter: Jerry Seems To Be Hinting At Less ST Risks

Special teams should be in attack mode at all times play to win You can not block a punt if you do not try to.

The much bigger issue is the owner criticizing a coach to the media.

I mean that's all that should be talked about here. The play itself is just distraction for the simple minded.

Yeah, not a good look. Gotta close ranks, not throw coaches under the bus.

He must be really ticked off behind closed doors. That's twice he has called out Bones.

Don't forget the play when the Chargers went for two and the Cowboys were not at all aware of the situation and had to burn a timeout. Not a Bones fan.

He pointed to punting on the opposing teams 29 yardline to get field position in his hog playing days....jesus.

Was Frank Broyles his coach ? Or Jim Thorpe?

Hopefully Bones gets the message.

Jerry just put Bones Fassel on notice: "Keep screwing up, and you're outta here!"

Great job, Jerry!

Man, the stuff people rag about. Everyone knows what Jerry means, when he says "I" in this type of statement.
It is no different that a fan saying "we" in a statement. When in fact the fan has nothing to do with the team. Just as Jerry has nothing to do with that game plan or plays.

Jerry was even asked that question on NFLN Sunday morning. Jerry said no, he is not and never has been involved in game planning or personnel. But he is privy to the info before the games.
As an owner or CEO, would you not want to know what is going on in your company, as well, the competition.

That's true to a degree because Jerry does think of himself as a fan as well and in many cases, that is exactly how (and only how) he is speaking when he shares his opinions on things like that.

That said, he does have a history of pushing his opinions on to the coaching staffs over the years through direct means or media quotes that propagate through media questions to the coaches (ex: "Jerry said this, what do you think, coach?").

While I do think he has lessened his influence and control over the last few years, it is still hard to ignore all of the years before that when his opinions were more than just opinions and had more impact on the operation of the team.

In the end though, that is the side effect of being both the team owner and the GM and as long as he maintains that GM title, even if in a ceremonial sense, his words are always going to carry more weight with the media and fans regardless of his intentions.

What a goof

.

You can send that all you want but that's definitely going to come back roughing. They pulverized that kicker

You gather the troops tell them we are playing for the return DO NOT RUN into the kicker . That’s the job of a ST coach and yes the HC to convey this to his assistant .

 

[kevm3]

On this point, Jerry is absolutely right. There is NO reason we should be trying to block the punt on 4th and long. A lot of things got glazed over because of Zuerlain, but this is one of the things that will cost us down the line if it continues.

Yeah, that was the part I was mad at, like who was ultimately responsible for being so stupid to call a full on rush in a 4th and 20
