This is for you whiny bastards who say we never talk football. Hopefully you have something to offer in these type of threads for once. This is also for Scott Eklund because I know he reads this board, and he's a fucking idiot. Give it up Scott. You are reaching Kim territory and you don't know shit about football. It's okay. You can take Sark's dick out of your mouth.
A few days ago I read a thread on the other site that was about Van Winkle saying he likes actually having a coach that watches film with him. Even for Sark, I am surprised no coach watched film with the kickers. You would think they would watch film of the opponents return men to help the kicker see why they wanted to kick the ball to a specific location. Maybe they see the front line of the on the receiving team bailing too fast and notice that they may be able to get a surprise onside kick. After the onside kick to open the second half of the Super Bowl, Sean Payton said, "We noticed there might be an opportunity for that play on film." You would also think they would watch film of where teams came with pressure to try and block kicks and who were the guys to pay special attention too. Sark is a lazy fucking bastard and so was his staff because he didn't hold them accountable.
Most doogs agreed that special teams should be improved, and were surprised no coach watched film with the kickers. It's already evident between Van Winkle's comments and Petersen coaching the returners that special teams are getting the close attention they deserve. The special teams were really bad under Sark and without a doubt cost us the Stanford game last year unless you believe it was actually Van Winkle's injury.
Of course, Kimmy and Ektard came to Sark's defense. When a poster mentioned Petersen's Boise teams had undefeated seasons ruined by missed kicks, Ektard said he ended the whole thread. Those missed kicks mean Boise State didn't have very good special teams. Really? I remember the Nevada and TCU games, but Ektard is really fucking stupid (wiw). When I think of well coached special teams, I think of good return units and blocked kicks. I think of good kick coverage teams, no bad snaps, and very few to no blocked field goals. Whether the kicker makes the kick or not is basically on his ability. Other than showing him some technique stuff, I don't know what the coach can do about missed field goals.
I did some research. From 2009-2013 BSU went 73/97 on FG's, a 75.2% clip. UW went 66 of 87, 75.9%. Pretty much the exact same. Nobody complained about our FG unit. Both Folk and Coons were pretty good kickers. It was the kick offs and return games on both side that were the problem. No big returns until Sark left, and the kick coverage units were always terrible. That shit won't happen under Petersen. You are such a useless dipshit Scott. FG teams aren't the only part of special teams.
