shabby 1,762 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 We can't afford to go into the Georgia and Bama games giving up blocked field goals and kick returns like the one at LSU. Several questions.... 1) First and foremost, what's going on? Are these simply player errors? Why is it our offensive line plays well in pass blocking, are improving with run blocking but can't protect the kicker? 2) The special Teams coach..... What's his track record and experience? 3) Are these issues fixable before the Georgia game? 4) What's Fountain up to now a days??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,551 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 It’s no longer a random anomaly, this is a trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerbelle 5,299 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 These issues with special teams need to be fixed tomorrow. It's particularly disturbing because Auburn had great special teams for years but now.....ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

around4ever 4,133 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Execution. TAMU outplayed us on those two blocks. The second one, the player came from the edge untouched. On the kickoff returns, we are so used to Carlson kicking the ball through the end zone, I think we may get a little complacent on staying in lanes and hustling down the field. All issues can be corrected if coached properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shabby 1,762 Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 the thing I remember most about Fountain was how good our onside kicks were when he was here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnphan 5,943 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Simple, Gus said he was gonna spend more time coaching the special teams. Practice gimmick trick plays and not fundamentals, has Gus written all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
