The Best Part of the Offense

Is the defense.

You see fellas. You see what turnovers and some field position can do? No more last in the league in takeaways. Takeaways = points. Shorter field = less room or error.

BTW, Moorman deserves mucho props. 71 yard punt? 64 yards?

What, 56 yard avg.!

Indeed!

Punt coverage and return units can still use some work though.

The O does not have to shoulder the load. It also looks like gilbride did something right I am not saying he wont screw up but he showed improvement.

If our D can score a little that will take a lot of pressure off Drew and Kevin. I think points will be even easier than last year.

Moorman is off to a good start...could be Honolulu waiting for him

Agreed. Antonio Brown was looking too indecisive out there...hopefully another few games of seasoning will have him looking like a pro.
As for coverage, part of that will improve when Moorman gets more hang time on his punts. Chris Mohr was underrated as far as doing his job. People put too much emphasis into his stats as far as distance (which makes me really wonder how good a thing it is that Moorman hits 'em so long...outkicking the coverage). Hangtime is where it's at. Without the hangtime needed to allow your coverage to get downfield, distance means exactly squat.
I remember one game back in 96 or 97 in which Chris Mohr had 2 punts downed at the 1...thanks to having enough hangtime to allow Ken Irvin and Marlon Kerner to get into position.

Mooreman outkicks the return man too, him back tailing and running is a strong thing, if we just hitch them to one side a touch, we can really own the kicking game.

No...I'm not sure who that was...I'm certainly not huge.
