[QUOTE="SoonerPack, post: 581389, member: 9838"] You gotta be kidding me guys! The unit ranks in the bottom half year after year and yet somehow the old "it's the players" argument surfaces. Players come and go in today's NFL and as my original post stated the one constant in this equation is Coach Slocum. This is no one game overreaction as this man's units have a track record of below average performance. This team can be special and I am simply saying that I hope the ST unit doesn't cost us in a big spot. I am thrilled with how this team is playing and you can tell from my posts that I am usually a half full kind of guy. Yes, there were some positive, explosive plays yesterday but there were also some gaffs and I am done making excuses for Slocum unlike some it seems. Also, there was not too much to complain about from the performance so maybe in retrospect I was a touch harsh on SS but as I keep saying I am done making excuses for his units performance. Below are the units NFL rank each year since SS has been running things to justify my frustration. I also want to reiterate my belief that there is more than enough talent to field a top level unit opposed to middle of the road or pedestrian. NFL Special Teams Rankings: 2014: 15th 2013: 19th 2012: 18th 2011: 8th (anomaly) 2010: 26th 2009: 32nd Since SS has been running this unit we have averaged finishing each year with the 19.6 ranked unit and I just don't think that's good enough. Like I said maybe my rant was a tad much but the facts are the facts and I think it is time to get some new blood in that position and I feel comfortable the evidence supports my belief. GPG!
