I honestly don't recall but I think he was. Teams are going send the house up the middle until the problem is fixed.

What I saw on replay was that Perry Riley missed his block and did not hold his guy nearly long enough. Doughty could have come across the formation for the cleanup, perhaps, but didn't. To my eyes that blocked punt is on Riley.

Yes, another defensive player expected to perform an offensive duty.

you can blame the refs, but our D was disgustingly bad and the real reason for the loss. haslett called a horrible game.

how do you let a guy get 42,381 catches on you and not stop it.

Special teams are an offensive duty?

Blocking defenders is an offensive duty/task/______.

If you have two blocked punts in two games, it makes sense to find players who have experience handling blitzes/picking up defenders. Defensive players are not the best at it, offensive players are better. It is an urgent problem on our punt team and could be remedied by having someone that has experience performing the task there.

Except when it comes to special teams.

Golston is one of our better blockers on teams.

The goal is to decrease the amount of blocked kicks - bottom line. Offensive players block dozens of times a day their whole career. Defensive players only do it when they are on special teams or returning a pick. Its ok to have inexperienced protectors UNTIL you prove that you can't do it. At this point it is better to have experience there.

There are defensive players who can block (golston). There are offensive players who can tackle (paul). Of course there are exceptions but generally Offensive players block/pick up blitzes better than defensive players just like Defensive players generally tackle better than offensive players.

"- Tyler Polumbus allowed seven hurries, tying Jermon Bushrod for the second most allowed in Week 2."

Right Tackle is gonna be an issue all year, getting bad play there once again.

Interesting.


Bernie Bytes: Are Fisher's teams dirty? : Stltoday

The fastidious Sando, who keeps track of penalties, kindly shared this information:

• From 2001-2010, the Titans led the NFL in most personal foul penalties with 163. The second-highest teams on the list for most PFs were the NY Giants and Arizona Cardinals, with 137.

Here's the breakdown ...

* The Titans led the NFL in unnecessary roughness penalties, 67.

* The Titans led the NFL in roughing the passer penalties, 46.

* The Titans were fifth in other variations of personal fouls (32) and sixth in unsportsmanlike conduct penalties (18.)

Polumbus is basically garbage. I can't even think about it or the blood pressure gets out of hand. Why on earth we didn't upgrade RT is beyond me.

As Shanahan, and several other commentators, said there isn't a load of quality RT's sitting around doing nothin'. And most teams are complaining about their RT play. Polumbus isn't going to turn any heads, and if someone better comes available and we can afford him, then I am sure we will try to get them, but ultimately Line Play is about a cohesive unit, and I think our running and passing stats have shown some ability to account for less than stellar RT play.

the short answer is who did you want to replace him with?

I want to replace him with Silverblunt after we sign Ryan Clady
