The greatest kicker Payton has ever seen (1 Viewer)

[Da Living Saint]

Cant kick the ball into the air. How many blocked kicks is that for him this season?

 

[rickyjones]

The protection is horrible. Not the kickers fault.

 

[cajundave]

Kick was low

 

[Brees2Graham4Six!]

Completely unnecessary thread this is like the 5th special teams sucks thread started now.

 

[StayBreezy]

He kicked low and no one blocked? Either way Lutz doesn’t know how to kick high and McMahon is plain cancer

 

[LonghornSaintsFan]

How can you blame the kicker when it's the protections fault.

 

[daybreaker]

special teams has been terrible for 10 years, but its been Lutz's fault the whole time

 

[hookedsaint]

Payton has to ******* fire McMahon by the end of this damn game! This is ******* ridiculous man! Idgas if it's the kickers fault the special teams "coach" should not be allowed on the god damn plane back home...this is ******* getting stupid now man!

Blame our ST coach he's been horrible all year and it's showing....

 

[Infamous504]

We tried different kickers but not a different ST coach. I noticed a pattern.

It's not just the kicking.
Our guys on ST have been doing dumb stuff all year.
It's embarrassing, and there is no way I would stand for this incompetence as a boss.

If Sean can't pull the trigger and fire this slouch, then he deserves to fired himself. You are losing games because of this.

That's just common sense.

Definitely on McMahon.

Did anybody else notice the entire right side of the line just get decimated? It was like the Saints didn't even know the ball was hiked. It's beyond embarrassing now. I sit here watching the game saying "this will be blocked" and BAM. How many passes does he get.

Not this time. That kick was crazy low. As a matter of fact most of them are and game film shows it. I mean it's still the coaches fault for going with a kid who kicks from that low but it is what it is now.

Look, it's both.

McMahon is beyond mediocre, but we never had this many blocks in the past. It's the low trajectory combined with the fact that they can't adjust the blocking scheme to protect the low kicks.

All of this leads back to the same decision maker.

I feel like ultimately it comes down to Payton. Maybe just my opinion, but don't think we will be a contender until we get a new head coach. Being a head coach is a lot more than being a good playcaller. It's making tough decisions and it seems like it's not working right now(or the last couple of years). Ugh
