Goutes18 No. 4 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Love the approach. Sounds like a big improvement. Special teams hurt the Ducks in the first Utah game a lot - and it was coaching. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special teams was an after thought in the Cristobal era. I'm not trying to defend Bobby Williams but at the same time if special teams is not a priority how good can any coach make them? So many times special teams in the past few years has under performed but the practice reports and all information about the program at the time really made it sound like special teams were often on their own. I know the kickers and long snappers really just spent practice back then on their own unless they were being called forward for a particular scinario in practice. This staff is embracing special teams in a completely different way by incorporating it into practice in a meaningful way rather than just doing a few drills to check a box. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
