I don’t need to look it up and will trust that we averaged 2.3 yards more on kick/punt returns than the national average or gave up 1.2 yards less per punt/kick return.I saw him in another interview talk about this. I can’t remember when. Maybe at the end of the season. And he brought up a ton of statistics and showed how we were top-tier in them. I think they were on punt and kick off coverage.
But honestly, I don’t care. I want to see enough people lineup. I want to see blocked kicks. I want to see a good field goal kicker. I want to see a good punter. And I want to see great kick and punt returns.
We don’t block kicks, we can’t line up enough people. And we are not particularly good at punt or kick returning. which tells me that special teams is a problem.
I’d love the see the stat on games lost/won by special teams plays made or blown. I’m highly confident we were in the bottom 25 in 2023. Gamechangers indeed.
It is this type of attempt to serve us poisoned rotten overcooked steak while highlighting that it took a staff of 3 chefs and 48 hours to make the compound butter sauce on top of the rancid meal that is so infuriating (from Stricklin, the most, and Napier).
