Article: ST Coach McMahon on 2010 Season

ST were some of the most disappointing parts of 2010. Awful kick coverage, Hartley wasn't the guy he was in the 2009-10 playoffs, and our return game sucked. Some of it, too, was just poor scheming, and that falls on the staff. The worst was pooch kicking the kickoffs in the first half against Seattle. Giving them the ball on the 40 or 45 is idiotic. Kick it deep, and just cover the dang kick.

We had to pooch kick because we know we can't cover any kind of kick.

That's a weak excuse. Covering a kick is not that hard, and a lot of it is coaching.
