    Every time special teams does something worthwhile something like this happens. Sigh.

    How is that Marciano's fault? Its the player's fault (brandon harris) and it was VERY OBVIOUS.

    Marciano is coaching them to push in the back to compensate for bad blocking.

    did you notice the 43 TDs and 5000+ yards he had last season? and the saints didnt make the playoffs. apparently, defense is also important.

    That's one thing that I still cant grasp...it's such a basic concept and it boggles my mind that people can be so dumb. I understand that sometimes things happen fast and reacting slowly can cause some penalties, but it just doesnt make sense on kick/punt returns.

    The block in the back is consistently on that first guy back, there has to be some serious flaws in what's being taught to counter gunners.

    It's his fault because we always get those penalties over and over. He's not disciplining/coaching them enough to not do it. He doesn't have a grip.

    Players should be fined $20,000 whenever they block (punt team) runners in the back. Dumb dumb dumb.

    Dont give me that.

    You are taught as a kid playing football that if you see his back, dont touch him.

    Nice run by Tate, was worried the defender chasing him would cause a fumble.

    Are you going to defend our dead last special teams ranking last season under Marciano?

    Look, Im ready for a new special teams coach as well.

    HOWEVER, bocks in the back are the fault of the players. Not the coach.

    And disciplining them enough? This is not college or high school, these are grown men.

    Bench them sure... Discipline them? Laughable.

    No, Marciano sucks, but a block in the back isnt his fault...Harris is a dumbass for that blatant penalty.
