We all know by now we pretty much expect we can't get the ONE yard on 3rd & 1 or 4th & 1 if we run it. -Special Teams coach Slocum.Last year was his first year, but he learned under **** Stock, who was terrible enough that he was fired. Our special teams coverage units are so bad, we expect a KR or PR for a TD against us.... we hold our breath every time.Here's a point that illustrates that:Sam Shields fields their kick 4 or 5 yards in the end zone, and takes it out. We yell "NO, stay in there!"... he comes out, and gets killed at the 10 or 15 yard line by 5 guys in free that far.Our guy Crosby, he kicks that last kickoff about 4 yards deep into the end zone, and with good hang time. We still yell "stay in there, take the touchback!". But no, he knows better, even though he's not Devin Hester, or Percy Harvin. What happens? He almost scored, he easily makes it out to almost the 40 yard line, and he draws a facemask for 15 more yards and they're already almost in FG range.And we're not surprised at all.That's unacceptable. Either the personnel is bad over and over. Or the same system that Stock coached, that Slocum learned from him, is crap. It's too often and too consistent to be coincidences.</blockquote>
