This special teamis absolutely pathetic!!!! It gave up 14 points. It constantly gives up big. I don't remember coach joev give up this many return yardage. Why isn't the special team coach fired yet??? Yeah the O and D had some issues. But it's definately the special team who lost this game for us.
Our defense actually did a pretty decent job against the Cards in giving up 276 total yards of offense, 17 points, and forcing a couple of turnovers, including our first INT of the season.
That should have been enough to win as our offense generated 24 points and 374 yards.
Our Special Teams have been the weakest link all season. Adam Jones has done nothing on punt returns averaging a pathetic 5.0 yards per return while our opponents are averaging 9.0. Other than Felix Jones having a couple of big kick returns, our special teams have been really poor so far. Considering they sucked last year as well I expected us to replace the coach but NO!
I believe this was a major mistake in keeping Bruce Read on the payroll this year and not replacing him. We need to rectify this situation ASAP.
