SIAP, But I've Seen Enough of Our KO Coverage

[Boca Vol]

Isn't there anyone on campus that kick the ball out of the endzone? I cringe every time I see a returnable KO.

Palardy's first KO of the season went to the back of the end zone.

Why he does not do it consistently is frustrating.

I wish he would do it every time.

I wish we could cover kicks and punts yesterday was ugly coverage.

Apparently not. Its the Wilson ball.

I'm not sure if wind or direction was a factor. I can say that Palardy's kicks were going much longer than oregon's kicker.

Palardy has done a bang up job of kicking ball where you usually want it save one yesterday, the problem isn't with the kicker....the problem is with the piss poor tackling by coverage, and leaving lanes open.

Over 90% of his HS kickoffs were touch backs. Effective this year, kickoffs were moved back up to the 35, instead of the 30 like the past few years. There is no excuse for him not kicking the ball through the end zone, when he did it consistently in HS, unless he is being coached to kick it shorter and higher. MAKES 0 sense.

That's my point...just kick it out of the endzone.

Palardy needs to do more squats

Only way to get better at coverage is to do it.

Kick out of bounds everytime from here out.

I agree, but our coverage teams have sucked for years. It doesn't seem to matter who the coaches are in that regard.

Just punt it OB (hopefully at least 35 yards downfield) and kick it off out of the endzone.

I get what you are saying, and not to sound defeatist....but this being the year it will be, might as well get the practice in....we may need a coverage team that works in a year or two.

I don't know about Florida but Arkansas high schools kick off from the 40 yard line and once the ball goes across the goal line it is automatically a touchback.

I just wished we would have kicked off more than 3 times yesterday!
