Weird thing is our horrible teams just pads Rourke’s stats because he always has long fields to work

We keep giving them the handicap yards every time. Special teams are lucky the rest of the team positions are gold right now.

Flintoff and might have to kick it higher and sacrifice some distance just so we don't end up giving a return TD

Is it the depth of the kick or inability to get downfield in time to stop a return from setting up?
I feel like it's the kick. I've noticed the kickoffs are like line drives which doesn't give th coverage enough time to get downfield. I could be wrong though
No I think you are seeing it right, doesn't seem to be a lot of hang time
I concur
Go Lions!

Did I miss another penalty on a kick return. How are we starting so deep again?

Unnecessary roughness following an 8 yard return. Half the distance to the goal line from the 22.

No, he is dressed. I like the use of Pipkin to save hits on Rourke’s body on short yardage.

Can you imagine how good the Leos would be if we had better special teams?

Now that was a better kick by Flintoft. Good hang time to allow guys to get downfield.
