Covering means getting down field, staying in lanes, taking proper angles of pursuit. Tackling is its own fundamental all together. You can cover a kick perfectly, yet still blow it when it comes time to make the stop.

For Gods sake you all know pulling **** out of your ass. Anyone that talks about punt coverage also includes tackling as part of the equation. You guys sound like Dooley talking.

wrong again. a true idiot, i should just stay over on the recruiting forum. i guess me posting about peterman on here literally minutes after he called our coaches was luck too? i caught some heat over that one, noone knew about it, not even the omighty hubbs.

There are many of us, less vocal users who appreciate what you post both here and on the recruiting forum. Don't let the more vocal minority run you off.

This!

Most true football fans would not need this explanation though.

That could be said for most anyone who breaks a story including some of the biggest media guys. Why don't you ignore Skeeter if you really care nothing for his information. Majority of us on this site enjoy the information he provides.

Don't worry with responding to me. I plan to ignore you as I have DrunkJohnny as soon as I hit "Submit Reply."

True but others on here don't loudly claim to have inside information coming straight from the AD either.

It's not my fault you and DJ have a very limited understanding of the game of football. Covering is one thing, tackling is another. Just like a receiver can run a good route, and still drop a pass. A dropped pass doesn't mean the route sucked.

I will. You might get a nugget every now and then, but I don't believe for a second you're plugged in on the west coast or in Boise, Idaho. And what youve currently offered is being reported on the largest sports network in the world.

So you can play good defense without tackling anyone? Correct?

Maybe, but it sure did hurt. I like Bray but if we are honest he rolled stats against the have nots. We have yet to see a quality win from him either.

Agreed. The what ifs from this season are staggering. Injuries, guys getting kicked off the team... god forbid we see yet another case of the injury bug, we'll see what everyone is made of next year.

the equivalent of your argument would be saying you could have effective special teams without tackling.... coverage is more about placement

No artard. Covering the kick is a PART of the punt, just like tackling is a PART of playing defense. Go to any football locker room when they are watching film of punt teams. They will say, "Hey, great punt coverage on that, now wrap up and finish the play!!!". I've heard that exact phrase more times than I ever wanted to, but it definitely stuck in my head that covering and tackling are two seperate acts. Now quit being intentionally ignorant for the sake of making people's blood boil.

Good defense is being in the position to make a tackle, so yes, you can play good defense and miss a tackle. They are not related.

Wonder what your banned screen name was? I bet you were full of sh*t under that name too.

Why don't we beat UCLA to the punch and offer Petersen 4 mill a year to come here. We get to keep Wilcox and Sirmon and Petersen rebuilds the offence. I know we talked to Petersen two years ago, but that was with cheapskate Hammy. This seems like a no brainer to me. If the UCLA rumor is not true then we give Dooley one more year to prove himself. Without Wilcox and Sirmon, though, I am afraid next year won't matter.

Tackling is not part of covering a punt. I need to relearn football. Great coverage guys! I know we gave up a touchdown, but stellar coverage!

Can't really blame him if this is true. The Dooley ship has already hit an iceberg, so might as well jump off before it sinks and takes you down with it.

great analogy.....except you'd die of hypothermia either way, but great analogy nonetheless.
