Did I miss where they announced the reason for all the night practices ? Are they trying to avoid the heat or what?

It always seemed backwards to have practice in the morning followed by meetings, and then nothing the rest of the day until maybe a walk-thru or something at night.

Long days man and your feet were barking!
 
Everyone rips on Patke but we had the best kicker & punter in America last year. Idc if they transferred from mars. We all would take the credit for them if we were in his shoes. I’d like to see our return game tighten up a bit tho.

Tighten up? It was nonexistent. If you take away every muffed punt it was still horrible. We didn’t have one explosive return. I believe we haven’t returned a kick or punt since 2018 vs Pitt when Dallas did it.

And we can’t take away the muffed punts. That was ridiculous. Hall Pope restrepo Harley all dropped punts. It was a joke. God I miss berrios. That guy didn’t drop ****. Jeff Thomas dropped one in 2019 and it potentially cost us an entire game. Our returns have been a joke for years. Harley and Pope aren’t breaking any tackles so don’t put them back there. Hall isn’t explosive.

Give restrepo another shot with a minuscule leash. Give brashard smith a shot. That’s the type of guy who can break a tackle and go the distance.

Lmfao at taking credit for two already coached up dudes in Hedley and Jose

I will concede that he had the strikers playing better with Gil looking great last year after I thought he might be a transfer portal candidate because he wasn’t going to get that CB playing time he was begging for

Punt and kickoff returns have been neutered into a death spiral. Explosive plays there are a rare exception these days.

Just hold on to the punt or watch the kickoff sail into the endzone and get your offense on the field

And we couldn't even do that last year. Need to find someone reliable to return punts.
