OT: Seahawks Special Teams

HillsboroDuck said:

Love watching these guys fly around, even it's just preseason.

ST is basically three things. In order: coaching, desire and athleticism. The 'Hawks clearly have all three.

When was the last time the Huskies had a good special teams, let alone great?

I've said before on here I view ST as a sign of coaching. The Seahawks have had good special teams since Carroll has arrived while under Holmgren they were decent but never good.

With the Huskies? When was the last time we had a kick off return go for a TD? How about a punt? Last punt that was blocked? Last FG that was blocked vs a real team(Portland State doesn't count) ?

When was the last time UW won a close game where we looked back and said we won cause of special teams as we had better field position all game?

I honestly don't remember the answer to those questions.

As for our last good special teams? I remember them being good in the Slick Rick era but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

2011 Special Teams Rankings - Pac-12

Kick Off Return - #3
Kick Off Coverage - #10
Net Punting - #2
Punt Return - #6

Not exactly great being the #10 Kick off coverage team, but the rest was respectable. How hard is it to find a guy that can kick the ball into the endzone?

2012 was a particularly crappy Special Teams performance, all around. 2010 Stats are currently not available on Pac-12 site.

Looks like a mixed bag.

Thanks for disagreeing with us then providing stats to back up our point. I see your shitty posting style from Dawgboard hasn't changed at all.

Where did I disagree or agree with anyone?

I just posted the rankings from two years ago and stated 3 of the 4 categories were respectable.

Then stated 2012 was crappy.

Still looking for where I disagreed with anyone...................

You are pressing really bad. Take a deep breath.

Perhaps you voting down both my statements is a sign of disagreement, also saying "it's been a mix bag" when it's actually been pretty fucking shitty as sven pointed out.

Only 2011 was a "mixed bag" and that year had some glaring bad as in kickoff coverage.

Since I was discussing the 2011 season and stated two were respectable and one was not great. I assumed you would know that stating it was a mixed bag was discussing the 2011 season.

The top of the page headline states 2011 Special Teams Rankings.

"2012 was a particularly crappy Special Teams performance, all around. 2010 Stats are currently not available on Pac-12 site.

Too bad you used the mixed bag statement after talking about 2012 and 2010 as well on top of your 2011.

Nice try.
