Reply to "Punt Return Unit"

Absolutely insane. It's easy to say it's simply a coaching issue, but a performance this poor indicates a deeper issue. All the ST units have been resoundingly terrible overall except for Crosby and Hunter Bradley, although I don't see Bradley make many plays in coverage as he's supposed to. So it is a coaching issue, but I also think Gute may have gone too far to the opposite extreme of TT. Ted seemed to sacrifice needed depth to keep ST guys like Janis, Bush, Lattimore, etc. Gute seems to want to load up on players he believes can contribute, but are clearly don't have the knack for ST. Find a happy medium, keep a couple of Bush's around to set the tone, find a speedy returner to be your #6 WR, and bring in a coach who can work with the entire fucking team on tackling. I mean, SF and KC are seemingly 5 deep with players who have legit 4.3/4.4 speed who can be utilized on offense and STs...meanwhile we're running reverses to Lazard, who did well, but having a fast WR would have gone for a TD.
