Lockette sure got down there under that punt quickly. That was an awesome special teams play.

I think our ST will be a feared force that opponents will have to seriously game-plan for.
Coverage looks good. Dawson "has" to be better. Cox looked better than James (seems more explosive) but don't feel like we have that reliable stud back there who can take it to the house every time he touches the ball.

On coverage, yes, no doubt...a couple times D. Morris was the first down the field but couldn't wrap up (sound familiar)? Fortunately, we had others make the tackles but we certainly have some serious speed with Lockette, Morris, Osgood, Moore, Dixon, etc. I hope Cox continues to develop b/c he did actually look explosive somewhat on returns. But the team really wants Jamesto contribute there and his fumbles scare me and he doesn't look very explosive (he is decisive though and is showing more confidence).
Originally posted by Rascal:Cox looked far more like a returner than James. I was never a fan of having James returning kicks. I want to see more of Cox in the next few games and see how he does. That is a huge gaping hole that we have failed to fill for quite a while now. Thre are just too many teams out there with personnel who can take it all the way to the house.

team would be better off having no one back to return punts
Chad Hall lol dude had 12 yards of room and calls a fair catch
next punt has a dude in his grill and tries to return

Ted Ginn ? He tried, he had some raw speed, but also made some mistakes. Frankly, I have never liked anyone we fielded for this position, be it Ginn, Williams or James. But, to be fair, it really takes a special breed to be able to return kicks and to do it well. Unless Cox can become that guy, as it stands we just don't have that guy who can take it all the way to the house. Do you remember when was the last time we had a kick return TD ? I honestly cannot remember.

The last time a 49er returned a kick was ironically ted ginn jr. He returned a punt and a kick in the same game against the seahawks in 2011.
