Special teams had improved so much over the course of the season, but they took three huge steps backwards today.

Crisp, did you hear B-Mitch talking about Tupa in the Comcast post game show today? He was talking about how Tupa has just been punting darts right down the field with no hang time at all. Basically said the same thing you're saying. Better to have a short directional punt with hang time then a bullet right down the middle.
