    Do Special Teams Need Our Attention (Matt Araiza aka Punt God)

    It is one third so I say make whatever move it takes to improve whenever possible.

    I obviously want to give Matt Araiza another look .... honestly I want to sign him.

    He is a weapon and our punt coverage has been letting us down.

    Thoughts?

      Love this with Thurman ...... definitely worth a listen.

      Offensive Coordinator is briefly mentioned but they really go at Special Teams !!

      They get right to it!!

        We've covered this punter thing no? We can't cut Martin right now if we wanted to, too big a cap hit. Bring this back up after the season if you like

          Araiza isn't getting much looks from other teams,, we need to worry about better coverages rather someone who might get off a 70 yard punt once in a while.

            I actually feel Martin’s punting has been a real problem for a few weeks. I’m wondering if he’s nursing an injury.

            His hang time is terrible and he’s driving the ball more, so it give returners way too much time to find a lane before the coverage can get there.

            He doesn’t look right.

              If it were possible i'd definitely bring the punt god in. But we don't have a lot of money right now. And i'm sure Araiza is bitter. Even though he ought to know that we had no choice in the matter with the bad press.

                Hell no. That door has closed. Martin had a bad game Monday night, but most of the team did.

                    He still has a civil trial pending (amazingly, since she has no case). No team will sign him at least until that's resolved one way or another.

                      They do, but like everything else on this team they need discipline. A bad punt or two isn't the issue. Discipline and practice are. So many flags on punt and kickoff return and we lost the opener and last week because of special teams stupidity. Come on you have timeouts and you still have 12 men on the field? If you can't count to 12 you should be sent back to Kindergarten. This team is not as crisp due to injury and its okay to say that. However, the problem is not injury. Good coaching can coach up talent and minimize mental errors. So its not the punter, its yet again the coaching.

                        I'm sure there's plenty of interest ..... I see it the same gotta resolve it.

                          I agree in large part ..... however if I can upgrade to a dude that can flip the field when the offense sputters I make that change. Respecting all other opinions as well ..... I just believe he's special.

                            Araiza will be in some teams camp next year. I doubt it will be here. McClappy has to protect that culture you know!

                              Our front office should have already reached out and expressed our interest ..... hell he was the punter until this story threw everything for a loop .... question is are we forward thinking enough

                              Of course the case has to totally be resolved 1st but let them (him) know of our interest to resign him .... we drafted him and we were more than happy with his performance until .........
