[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 937390, member: 12283"] I'm just interacting with these. This isn't a "here's all the reasons you're wrong" thing. 1. I hear positive things about Drayton too, but what does that actually mean? Ultimately, it's a results business. To me, the problems are so widespread (the kicking game, the kick/punt coverage game, the punt return game, even handling an onside kick), that it must have a lot to do with him. You can point to individual player errors in all of those instances, but the collective of them points to the coach. 2. The top 5 teams in the league in Special Teams DVOA are, in order, the Ravens, Chiefs, Bears, Patriots, and Seahawks. If you go check out the snap counts for those teams, what you will find is that they are not playing starters much on special teams. What you do see that they have in common, though, is excellent coaches. Belichick is one of the greatest coaches of all time and his teams routinely have great special teams units. Harbaugh was a ST Coordinator before becoming Baltimore's head coach. Dave Toub is such a good STC that he gets head coaching looks. Chris Tabor is a long time veteran ST coach. And the Seahawks Larry Izzo is the shortest tenured guy and even he has 10 years of experience. 3. This is possible. Summers and Burks were both retained as almost exclusively ST guys. So it's not like there's no investment in the personnel, but you do hear that the pro personnel guys are scouring the league for practice squad guys who can help here. 4. No idea. 5. I think to whatever degree this is true, it goes back to #1. [/QUOTE]
