Kick returner?

burningmetal · 05-02-2017, 02:19 PM

It's all good, though, because we'll be doing well to get more than about 5 kickoff returns all year. That stupid idea of moving the ball up field years ago has made returns almost non existent. Except when our kickers kickoff. They manage to come up short quite a bit. I'm hoping that was just McMahon's bad idea to kick short on purpose.

Pretty sure it was McMahon's idea. Both Lutz and Moorestead have the leg to put it through the end zone almost every time.

Kicking short is a good tactic IF you have a good coverage unit. The Saints didn't and McMahon didn't recognize that. One of the many reasons why he's no longer with the team.
