Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voyageur" data-source="post: 948368" data-attributes="member: 17953">At the NFL level, it seems to me that a decent ST coach would be able to identify the weaknesses in players given to him, to create each team. When he identifies those weaknesses, he should be modifying the player's field response, or finding someone else to fill the role. If he can't do that, it's time to talk to the head coach and explain to him what he needs from a player. Then, it's on the HC's shoulders to find someone else through his coordinators, that they fill can handle that role, and they're willing to make available.At that point, it also has become a question as to whether or not that player, or players, who can't seem to handle the roles on ST are that valuable to the team. If they are, you might work with them on the side to teach them how to properly do that job, but you might also warn them that it's either get it right, or they're going to find themselves on waivers in a short period of time.The fact is, the last few spots on a roster more than likely aren't guys you're going to rely on, when it comes to your offense and defense. They're an emergency level body to throw into a game, not much more. You can find others, on someone's practice squad, or a free agent, who would more than likely be happy as hell to get a shot at being on someone's 53 man team.I have to question if Drayton identified problems, and properly presented the problem to LeFleur, and then, how the HC handled it, in dealing with the issue? We probably will never know, but the pretty much need to look in the mirror as to how this all unfolded.When you show such lack of respect for STs, as to change the holder, and then the long snapper, after the season is about to start, it shows you have a lack of understanding as to how critical the jobs of people on those units really are. If you're cavalier at this level, I find it hard to believe you'd be any different when it came to the nuts and bolts of the job, below these special skill levels.In other words, no matter how much anyone wants to blame it on any player, or Drayton, we need to look to the HC, the rest of the coordinators, and the people who find players for the team, to share the majority of the blame. They did not do what's necessary, for them to do the best they could, in developing those teams.</blockquote>
