I figured Westoff would be retiring

ChrisXVI · 02-01-2019, 12:55 PM

Now if we could figure out a way to acquire Miami’s return specialist Jakeem Grant...

Wow!! Tommy Lee will gain 3 yards per return now instead of 2!!

TLL maybe the best player in the league at fielding punts. But the worst in terms of return yardage.

Update: Westhoff spoke with the Times-Picayune, explaining that he will go back into retirement: “I was surprised and very disappointed in what happened,” regarding Banta’s firing and the general staff overhaul, “The only way I would’ve considered coming back is if Brad were there.”

We need better special teams and Payton knows it!

I thought our ST had improved a lot, especially the coverage units, since Westhoff came onboard. I'm kinda surprised by this.

If you get a chance, listen at the interview Westhoff had with Franchesca (sp) right after the Rams game. He was as defeated as anyone ... especially the way it ended. His leadership & coaching really made a difference on special teams.
