Why in that scenario were our guys not standing on the 1/2 yardline? How are player standing on the 10 yardline going to down a punt that lands within those 10 yards of the endzone?. Everyone not on the offensive staff needs to go. Saleh and his full staff, Hightower and his full staff.
There is ZERO coaching from this guy. On a punt expected inside the 10, a whole line of players running down stop and watch the returner and none of them even watch the ball. The first guy down, if he's down there early should be covering the goal line. Unreal.
The dude is down to a broken-back Trent Taylor to field punts. Pathetic.

Matt Barr is back to take a look at how the special teams for the 49ers is in flux and how much it will affect the team.

Why would you have the best wr chance being injured returning punts. Leave that up to the scrubs to take that punishment.

Meh...lots of teams best/better DB's, WR's and RB's double as dynamic returners. There's absolutely no reason Pettis shouldn't be returning punts. He's dynamic. And if not him, Reed who was 2nd in the nation behind Pettis. Instead Hightower puts busted-back Taylor out there for his safe hands.
That's not a unit that's looking to win games.

To be fair AB returned punts for a while. But we already have a quality returner in richie James.

I don't think I've ever seen a kicker recover his own onside kick. WTF

It's pretty rare for sure.
