HOW IS GREG MCMAHON STILL EMPLOYED?

My God... its a good thing you can count on the Bengals to screw themselves because against any halfway decent team, letting them start on your side of the field for half the game = blowout loss.

The 12 men on the field is a fireable offense. Under no circumstances outside of the preseason should that ever happen, much less in a playoff push.

Taking it too far?

He's fine now though and boomed a touchback a few weeks ago when Hartley got hurt.

I think it's time to put him back out there.

Indeed- I was under the impression that he would likely be unable to kick off until next season, or at least that would be the team's policy. He was an obvious upgrade over Hartley (and many other NFL kickers) in that regard.

One improvement might be to make all kick offs out of bounds that way the opponent starts at the THEIR 40 !!!!!!

Special teams have not been special for a while. Returns by our team are not impressive and returns by the other team are usually special. Not giving up the all the way returns, but giving up way tooo much starting field position!!!

[St.Fury]

I'd just like to see us not giving up so many yards on returns!!

Kris

And not kick the ball out of bounds on kick-offs.

First: Morestead needs to re-assume kickoff duties immediately.

 

[lvsaintsfan57]

I agree with returning the kick off duties to Morestead full time. Also think it's time to look at another ST coach.

 

[Blue]

Wouldn't Morstead kicking off solve this problem?

He was awesome on kickoffs, what's up with this? Why Hartley?

 

[Blue]

Hire Fred McAffee(sp?) to coach them...... he couldn't do worse. Maybe he could but it'd only be marginally worse, lol........

 

[GoldRush26]

blame that one on Triplette.

Oh right, Evans leading the league in holding is Triplette's fault.

 

[Patty Ice]

McMahon is an Eastern Illinois buddy. He isn't going anywhere I'm afraid.

Tulane's Special teams (errrr, kids) were soooo bad this year that just having to touch the same turf they were on, has somehow osmotically absorbed into the Saints players.

Now that Tulane's season is over, the effects should be dissapating. Unfortunately, they have been so bad for so many years that the half-life has become extended. I believe the worst is over.

Fast Freddy is on the not so special team coaching staff

Not a big fan of our special teams coach.
