Saints Dead Last in Punt Returns

good point from Triplett...
Concerning to me is that the team ranked 30th & 26th the last two years as well. Many of us have questioned why there has been no coaching change for special teams the past few years.
Here's an eye opener... Sproles (with a history as a dynamic return guy) averaged 8.0 & 6.7 yards per punt return in Nawlins. This year in Philly? 15.6 ypr. We have a good punter but otherwise it seems like a while since special teams were special.
Payton has not hesitated to replace defensive coordinators who weren't performing up to expectation. I would have expected an change with Special Teams similarly by now.

This is why McMahon should have been fired already. He'll be the first to go at the end of the season.

Payton's loyalty to his boys is causing us serious trouble.

Got to make sure you have good people who don't ask questions about where the vicodin is going.

Saints special teams are special alright

how about our kickoff returns? When was the last time we returned one past the 30?

I don't know how we didn't fire Mcmahon before this season, ridiculous. Our special teams are always bad.

The better question is how has McMahon had a fricking job here for 8 years already

The kick return is non existent in the NFL.

Somehow McMahon has become the Carl Smith of the Payton era.

last year against the 49ers Cadet almost took one all the way back.
only one I can think of.

Bring back bobby April once Oakland ultimately gets rid of that staff

My coworkers looked at me stupid after we started 0-2 and they were blaming offense and defense and I told them we were 2-0 with average special teams. After they thought about it, they agreed. Amazing how people dont seem to think it makes a difference now in the NFL.

Been calling for him to be fired for years. I remember he cost us the Cleveland game just by their STs scoring like 3 TDs on us...

They gave up even attempting returns with Byrd callin for a fair catch every time.
I believe I'm on record ad nauseam about my love of our below average ST coach.
CSP has failed in this area of the team.

From what I heard McMahon isnt a teacher. He knows the fundamentals but can't get it to show on the field.
Posted on 10/18/14 at 6:55 pm to blueslover
Didn't he play college ball with SP? Therein lies the loyalty... and the problem.

when was the last time a team who faked a punt got stopped short on us.
It seems like every single time they try and fake a punt, we get burnt for some 30+ yard run.
When we try it, we try to throw some whack arse pass that makes no sense at all

I blame Cooks for some of this. Very eager to call fair catch
