At some point they will realize you only need to be in base defense on a punt if you don't have a chance at a return.
Maybe seven years from now.
Either way, it wouldn't have mattered because we would have lost to other teams along the way anyway.
You cannot count on the defense. They gutted it, and the rest is injured.
Special teams won some games last year, I guess they are focused on giving it back.

This is absolutely right. How you even risk on losing from fake punt to a team that's pulled off fakes a couple of times recently blows my mind.
It reeks of absolute incompetence and a lack of awareness. "OH! OH! We stopped them on 3rd down! We get the ball back!"

Don't know how they let them get away with that crap year after year, haha.
Hell, they got duped bad TWICE that game. Silly.

How in the world do we come out of a timeout without coaches in EVERY GUY'S FACE repeating like an enlightenment-attaining mantra: WATCH THE FAKE! WATCH THE FAKE! WATCH THE FAKE!

To be fair Jeff Fisher's only called 27 fake punts in his coaching career

Guess this coaching staff needs to always compete. These mistakes have been here all through Pete's tenure.

Seriously, I said after the last fake: I'm surprised the Rams don't call a trick play on every Special Teams play. They would convert it every single time.
