It's been 2 games. LOL

Kidding. There definitely is a refocus under Schneider. Maybe he asked him to stop with all the specialty punts and more on location?

Funny how some are giving Wish credit for the muffed punt. Now he does get credit for the 7 points from the blocked FG. Atrocious tackling!

Tackling was not the issue. Wish wasn't fast enough to catch that ball carrier. Wish is fast for a punter, but the ball carrier might be a 4.4 guy, who knows.

Weren't all his fanboys touting his speed and tackling as a game changer when he was drafted?

Man, you REALLY hate this guy. LOL

It was good point, regardless of what came after. He's done well so far this season.

Dude. He is a punter. You have to put that into perspective. He can be the fastest punter in the NFL but not fast enough to catch a 4.45 guy. I cannot believe I have to explain this to you.

Honestly lmao talking about a punters speed and tackling

So far so good.

By volume another season of leading the NFL in return rate and pinning inside the 20.

Good call.

The hang time on the fumbled punt was outstanding.

Good coaching can really make a difference.

That was the idea of him focusing on the punts-which means all this time he was mis-coached/used, I mean understand why they did it (to save Gould for just field goals and PATs and because he is a better tackler due to his rugby background-which we saw why in the preseason when Gould had to make saving tackle).

ST does seem after two games to be better. Even the awareness yesterday of shoving the gunner into Lockett(?).

You caught that!

And Moore is now down there waiting to catch punts inside the 10 with his back to the EZ.

They are still letting the other teams gunner get down first but if they clean that up and FG protection, game on! Ray-Ray can be a real weapon. Punt coverage was much better the game.

Siposs from the Eagles was able to catch and tackle his blocked kick and helped by his (non rugby - same as Mitch) Aussie Rules form of tackling and came through the same academy. Aaron is 1 year younger than Mitch but I don't think the player Aron was chasing was as fast as the Seahawks player.

I'm still waiting to see the grubber (aka worm burner) where WISH runs a little bit to the Right and then kicks a ball that goes end over end along the ground, and then somewhere in there, it bounces 15 feet straight up. Can't wait to see that one. But he has been great inside the 20, and has had a couple nice ones OOB (out of bounds) inside the 10-15.

yeah...Mitch has a 84 speed rating in Madden... dude is considered fast.

if you watch the guy who picked up the blocked FG... as soon as he picked it up, he put his head down and got in some sprint form and it took every step of his for him to slip away from Mitch lol.

he got up to 22.03mph on that.

Are we really talking about Mitch's speed based on Madden ratings? Wow
