Wait, I'm confused, what did Danny Smith screw up this week?

Another botched hold/block field goal. it's ALWAYS something. Holding flags negating TDs, blocked field goals (2 in 2 weeks) and it's not just THIS game. It's been horrible for a couple years now.

The bad hold wasn't Danny Smith's fault. He wasn't out there holding. Rocca just choked and messed up the hold. It happens. But it shouldn't.

The penalties on kick/punt returns though has been a glaring problem for the past 2 seasons though. I feel like every time we get a good return.. which is already few and far between.. it gets called back.

Rocca...Jacks the ball. He gets a pass.

That's Smith's fault that Rocca fumbled the hold?

It's a trend? Another guy on ES actually did research on D. Smith's special teams and had the numbers/facts to prove his point about the special teams. Needless to say, it wasn't good.

Well if some guy on ES said it, then it must be true

Seriously though, what sort of trend is there that shows this is Smith's fault?

I didn't say because some guy on ES said it. I said the facts and numbers were posted in regards to special teams. It wasn't just a dude calling for D. Smith to be fired.

Why does any coach get fired for Smoot? It's called accountability. Why does a coach get fired when his team goes 1-15? Is he out there throwing the passes? Making the tackles? Kicking the field goals? It's not his fault so why is he fired? Because he's held responsible for the play of his team. By in far, our special teams have sucked the past couple years. To say otherwise is...well...having your head buried in the sand.

Well our punters, isolated from the rest of the special teams, have been awful over the last few years, but that's been a non-issue in the first three games.

The rest of the special teams have done just fine.

Smith dropped the snap?
