The re-kick

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!
 
Kick returns generally take one good block for a guy to break free. Miles was scary bad and taking way too many deep sacks. I agree with Pete on that kick.
 
The re-kick decision was fine. The risk/reward profile for that was good.

Still doesn't make up for the two fucking stupid decisions to go for it on fourth down though.

Well, no shit on the 4th downs. But I'm referring to the re-kick, which I see a lot of people lumping into the 4th down decisions as FS. It wasn't.

I agree that the risk reward isn't good in normal situations, but knowing that 3 and out was likely, you have to give Ross the shot.

Well, plus the rekick was from 5 yards back due to an off sides. They simply declined the oob penalty.

The fucking planet must be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay fucking out of whack- I agree with Mick Dabone.

Not hating Pete on the rekick.

Ross looked FS on the return but no way Pete knows that will happen.
 
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
 
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.

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.
