Durant Brooks Venting Thread

[MTK]

The punt coverage really was the main problem on the Bush return. I think it may have been the ballhawk Horton that I noticed got sealed off inside and didn't stick with his lane.

I don't know Matt...I had a nice view of that punt from good old section 419and it was very low...a total line drive. The coverage didn't have a chance to get down the field by the time Bush had the ball. But when i watch the TV copy later I will take a look at Horton on that play.

Anyway, I already said earlier in the thread that I wanted Brooks to get the job so I am not bailing on him. He will eventually improve. And the fans at the game need to stop booing that kid...it is not helping him get better.

The TV angle is pretty good, there was simply no outside contain and Bush bounced to the outside and took advantage of it.

I saw that there was no outside contain...but when the punt comes out that low it f's everything up. I guess we can agree that there was plenty of screwing up to go around on that play!

The punt was a line drive to Bush. They had no chance to even get down the field. Reggie was able to field the punt and had enough time and distance to find holes. They weren't at fault on a shanked punt.
