ALmost as important is the ST issues at whole. Why have we been unable to get anyone to field a punt? We seem to be starting every drive from inside our 10. A fun stat I found last night while reviewing this from last year:
Number of Scoring drives of 90 yards or longer: 1.
It came at Oakland, a 19-play, 92-yard march that frustratingly ended with a field goal. Keep in mind, thats not "Touchdown" drives. It is SCORING DRIVES. We had 1 last year with a 90 yard field.
Sound like something we are already seeing a LOT of this season? 85-90 yard drives are starting to seem normal for our offense.
This is a ST issue, not just a punting or returning issue. Zook should have been canned when they showed Slocum the door.
