Our special teams have been far from special. Hopefully they take a look at it during the bye week and get it cleaned up.

Cant explain how our Special Teams is so bad this year after being a top 10 unit last season.. at this point i just hope Sproles doesnt return a TD on us in Thankgiving.

Last week was a block FG due to a lazy block attempt. Had the effort been put in to make the block like Witten's effort to make the tackle its a 14-13 game.

I didn't know our special teams unit was terrible. But last week and the blocked field goal were tragedies though. I don't consider it a weak unit though. To consider it a weak unit is like considering our run game weak because of the fumbles.

ST's are really bad except for Dan and Harris(as a gunner). They can't seem to set up the blocks for returns. Harris hasn't done his part but some of the blame goes to blocking. They are not creating that wedge and I don't see it being fixed mid-season, we will have to wait. IMO, our depth moved up a rung and the depth behind them is not so good, that is why the special teams are struggling.

We've had a punt blocked for a TD and 2 FGs blocked. That's bad.

Exactly!
I was going to mention this myself.
No other team in the league has this many blocked FG attempts + a blocked punt for a TD.
They are rare to begin with.

yup....I never liked the Rich Bisaccia hire in the first place. There was a reason he was fired in San Diego. Same thing happened there. Punts being blocked /returned for TDs cost San Diego a playoff spot.
How a guy could get a job after this buffoonery is beyond me. Here is some of his work

The blocker came through the gap between Tyron and Free. Watson #57 (6-2, 240) blew up Doug Free (6-6, 325) and drove him into the backfield. Tyron should have had a better block.

Has anyone pointed out the responsible parties or broken those plays down?
