    I agree with the rekick, but we need to get much better at the blocking scheme on returns. Ross needs to trust others are going to execute their jobs (or just kill the fucking opponents) to eliminate the indecision. On the last return he looked like Cyler Miles does at QB.

    I havent seen anyone criticize the rekick here?

    that being said I agreed with the rekick at the time. The chances of us scoring on defense or special teams > chance of scoring on offense

    Seems that many that agree with me on this didn't 24 hours ago.

    I played some golf today to get some perspective on this decision.

    This was covered yesterday. Dimone is correct.

    looks like most folks think the re kick was FS. I disagree. Given that the huskies couldn't do shit on offense, 3 and out at the 35 was just as likely as Ross getting a decent run back. I'll take Ross getting the ball at the goal line with a chance to make something happen over the offense at the 35. Also, there is a great chance he returns it close to the 35 anyway. That said, Ross's return looked weird. He started slow and was waiting. He usually turns it on and gets up field quickly. Irregardless, the odds were they were going to get at least out the the 25 with a shot for a big play. I'd take that over letting the clown show start at the 35.

    Good day!

    That's what I told my dad before and after the re-kick. It was the smart thing to do, given how badly our offense was struggling.

    I had no problem with the re-kick. If I was Shaw, I'd be more worried about JRIII taking it to the house than any chance of a 10 play drive lead by Miley. The two 4th down conversions/fake punt malarkey was disheartening, however. I have nothing today that makes me feel better about those choices outside of oxycontin.

    Thanks for the perspective on the rekick, Damone. I'd be ok if he did it again with an anemic offense.

    The rekick was a no brainer. It went to commercial and I was muttering to my dog about how they were stupid to take the penalty as it appeared they were doing. I was relieved when it came back and they were lined up for another kickoff. Only chance we had of getting past the 50 was Ross on the KOR.
