    We have to lead the league, right? McKnight had the yips, Cromartie being Cromartie...Usually it's a total stunner when your guy drops a kick, but I'm bracing for it every time now. Don't know if they keep team stats for that though.

    yeah i agree. at this point, you have got to have reliable hands back there. at all times. esp knowing that turnovers have been a major factor in our losses in games that were tight until those turnovers,

    The Jets surehands guys all left in the off-season except for Leonhard. Everybody they've put back there this year except for Leonhard has been a disaster in the making. In the case of Cromartie and McKnight they're spectacular disasters but disasters none the less.

    I feel the same exact way as Penny.


    I knew Cromartie was going to do what he did. In fact when he muffed the kick I started laughing. The next playi started laughing again when brad smith tipped the ball to himself and walked into the end zone. Typical.

    I don't understand why Cromartie was returning a punt. Were Kerley, Leonhard, McKnight, everyone else on the team injured? Cro is the last person I want returning.

    Westhoff needs to give another "discouragement" speech.

    I don't always love Cromartie on defense. I certainly don't want him on special teams.

    At this point were probably better off not having anyone field the punts, let the other team down it wherever it lands

    We've got two home run hitters in Cro and McKnight who are prone to bone-headed plays; and a guy who'll fair-catch the ball efficiently in Jim Leonhard. Our coaching staff is aggressive.

    Or a big play. Our special teams have won us a few games over the past two years, certainly more than they've lost.

    I've been bracing for it every time since about 1981!

    Returning punts is dangerous. Tanny obviously hopes Cro get injured so he can cut him.

    According to tweets Leonhard was winded from an earlier defensive play which is why Cro was there.
