NoSaint Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 The call for that kind of kick was simply nonsensical and inexplicable. if they have 2 of the fastest guys out there hit the guy/guys directly across from the kicker with authority, maybe you have a chance? as it was, it was a textbook "surprise" kick, which doesnt work when the receiving team isnt surprised by the fact that you are kicking onside.

Marcus Thigpen's decision making with regard to when to field punts was poor yesterday as well. You'd think these situations would have been discussed such that the player knows how to react in game situations. Edited December 8, 2014 by 26CornerBlitz
plenzmd1 Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 Guy was awful all the way around yesterday.Thigpen, after a great first game, was awful. I dont care who kicks the onside..such a long shot play at that point, more luck than anything else if you recover.

You'd think these situations would have been discussed such that the player knows how to react. thats something that i noticed in his returners in the past too (im talking long term - pre bills) --- game awareness wasnt particularly high for them. youd think that would be a player he would want to be very in sync with. I dont care who kicks the onside..such a long shot play at that point, more luck than anything else if you recover. more than i dont care, ill say i dont know who the better choice was. but there are guys that are better than others. and styles that are better than others. its mostly luck, but you can help your odds.
