The Conundrum of the Return Game(s)

Recommended Posts

Not talking about the coverage teams...I gave up on that.  Talking about us returning kicks.

I think Nootch and I have solved this conundrum!

 

Kickoffs:  I say put Kayshon back there.  Dude is electric with the ball in his hands in space.  

Punts: Nootch says Jaray, but follows it with the perfect solution.........

Put NOBODY back there!  Send the house to block it and if they get the punt away, let em down it where it lands!

These guys are defensive starters and I expect their tackling to be better. Granted some of their breakdowns are these guys not understanding their "lanes" and freelancing when they shouldn't, which falls on Polian - but I think the tackling piece should be owned by the defensive position coaches these guys play under.

I like this for the fact that it will probably make opponents burn a timeout trying to wrap their heads around the "wtf" factor.

Says the guy that wants to bear Lane Kiffin's love child?

Hilarious.

I've been pretty consistent in saying that Polian needs to focus on player personnel duties given his work with the portal when Kelly was hired and the current state of the 2023 and 2024 recruiting classes with him as Recruiting Coordinator and that Kelly needs to bring in a Special Teams guy to shore that up.

I don't know the NCAA rules regarding staff, so I don't know if Polian can just be the personnel guy without being officially on the coaching staff.
