Paul Johnson on Special Teams

"They’re just nonchalant," Johnson said. "The coaches got to do a better job. They just stand there and roll the snap back, everybody just kinds of walks around, the kickers know there’s no rush so ... every time they miss they put their head down and walk to the side. We’ll quit kicking. They can go sit in the student section if they’re going to do that."

Love the comment...

Johnson may have inherited some good players at the skill positions, etc…but he was handed nothing in the kicking game but one guy. He is starting from scratch there…

Agreed

The kicking game was definitely less than impressive last year, and I think Blair is a great talented kid. But to be fair, the guy is trying to follow one of the best kicker/punter combos of the last decade or so in Bell and Brooks. That’s not easy to do with two individuals, much less by yourself.

But, from the sound of things, we might have found a replacement in the punting game.
