It could be so much worse.

I agree i think Moore is actually pretty decent

He f**ked up one of the fundamental rules for PR

You plant your feet at the 10 yard line and NEVER go back to catch a ball

It led directly to a safety that could have lost us the game

I was laughing at the announcers giving him credit for letting the last punt go into the end zone...thats basic football s**t. Might as well cheer for him having his uniform on correctly.

I like his actual returns so far. He has good vision there and usually squeezes out extra yardage we never would have in the past. That being said his fair catch at the end was horrible, just let it go.

ya fair catch at the end was bad but not something to get too concerned about it happens

Have to see where he started at before i judge it. Its not that easy if you start at say the 20 and then try to track the ball while also trying to keep in mind how far back you actually are.

My expectations are so low i'm just happy when we don't fumble the punt.
Still the worst coverage unit in the league

Wrong thread.

Basically, the Rams kicker has been having a lot of success on the new kickoff by doing a low hanging knuckle ball kick. Hopefully our ST coach is paying attention.
Special Teams yet again not good in covering kicks. Can't have that but it's been a recurring theme with this team.
Special teams still sucks. Every year.

Keep rolling out poor ST play year after year and you can only overcome it so much game in and game out. In today's NFL with so much parity & so little margin for error, you just cannot keep losing the ST battle.

This many years of poor ST play is on the HC.

Injuries = bad ST roster, because Kyle does not care. It may cost him one day....

In today's NFL especially, you have to be consistently even at least or winning each game in the ST phase. Besides what happened today to the Niners, look at what's happening around the league...all the blocked punts, blocked field goals, etc., that are determining outcomes of games.

If the Niners today were just solid (not spectacular) at ST, today's game would have been much different. But too often they're not solid and just poor, especially on kick coverage. And, as you mentioned, an occasional boost with a kick return or punt return for a TD would be incredible for this team, especially in tight games and/or when you're down key guys w/ injuries.
