Special Teams

[txvol19]

After watching a variety of games, and most recently the last two kicks by the UVA kicker, I am thankful our kicking game is pretty good this year. It seems like field goal kicking has taken a step back overall in accuracy. Anyone else notice this? Also, one area I’m nervous about tomorrow is our punt return team. Can’t afford muffed punts.

Yeah, I'm wondering about Flowers. The muff at Pitt, then he calls for fair catch last week and takes off running.

I'm mostly worried about getting a punt or 2 blocked. That's gotta get fixed yesterday.

No doubt, Paxton has got to speed his motion up!

We could easily have a punt blocked - takes us forever.

Florida will be coming hard and fast after our slow footed punter...As other have said, "punt faster"...

Was it a problem last year? I feel like it wasn’t.

I just don't want special teams disasters or mental collapses on defense to be an issue in this game. So far there's been reason for concern. If they get their sh*t together and beat us outright and we play reasonably well, so be it.

The Tennessee punting game scares me

It's difficult.

Special teams is what everybody will be calling florida after we stomp a mudhole in their ass.

Been saying this for a week. We haven't blocked it well. Our long snapper looks slow. Punter takes a day and a half to get it off.

Yep. But Ekeler is a good STs coach. I’m sure he’s addressed it.

 

[GameTime]

With the way Florida will be coming after the punter, they may be wide open for a fake punt and a run for a first down....It could happen.

Punt? Who said anything about punting today?

That's the plan for sure.
