I was looking at our roster; 6 place kickers listed!!
2 punters listed....both are bad real bad!
I have never seen us so bad in the kicking game....and the kick coverage game ever!
Thomas is very good and even DJ has done well when he was in there....but our kick and punt coverage, kicking FG XP are ....a mystery....poor and there is no excuse!
Lets hope for better!

BC All-Time Points Per Game Leaders
Pretty nice play...surprised we got the call....The one to Wiggins the announcer said should have been caught...no way too far behind him.
Nice drive if we can do that consistently we will be ok...the D got punched in the face...they must play better...step up guys!
Execution Aggression important....that motion call is so common for us...think guys!
The blocking is not good....any qb would have problems. now we need a quick stop...cannot allow anther TD...If I am BC I run it right at that D. 40 degrees, cold for us...run them big backs 4 quarters make us tackle...are we up to it? I would find out if i am BC.
they are much improved...I remember when they were not so good.
I am not a fan of any Boston area team; that being said they are all tough and competitive.
Pats, Celts, Red Sox, BC....tough customers that i respect very much!
I like their approach to offense...hard tough but quick...like it!
I do it that way...sigh...always wanted us to do it that way...we used to run it use TE...power at you....what the heck went wrong guys?
Clappy Randy AlPa CMR...thats what went wrong....soft passive nice guy approach to a tough game...got to go after people....initiate contact in all 3 phases
Their running what we z
Should be running a true pro style. Problem my is it's hard to find zma QB any more who plays under center.
The Herb mentioned last week that the Dee is due for a bad half, well it's here.
Richt is done! He should not have taken this job - it’s clear he’s not even as motivated or good as he was at Georgia, and he wasn’t a world beater there either.
Bad job by Blake James and most of us knew this.
As in business- cut your losses! Do it! Make Diaz the interim and then hire whoever - someone who will hire qualified coordinators and not their relatives
That back is tough...keeps moving...churning....and we back off too cold hes to big we are not into it....there are no excuses for that kind of tackling.
First!!
