*OFFICIAL* NFL 2025 season Thread (teams other than our Bucs)

Devin Lloyd should be a top FA target for us this next off-season. Dude is a baller.

Kansas City looks back.

Kansas City looks back.

Kinda. Getting Worthy back definitely distorted the coverage which helped out both the underneath passing game and the run game. Is concerning for KC that in spite of the fact that the BAL DL is decimated, they couldn't generate any big runs on them (not one rush over 10 yds), but KC doesn't have any actual RB1 level runningbacks, so it is what it is.

That was never a staple for who they were. Their run game today was efficient and they stuck with it.

But Mahomes, the passing game and especially the defense, this looks like the KC team that was in the SB. And now with the added element of Worthy coming into his own and Rice returning in 3 weeks, they're getting back to their winning formula.

Feels anecdotal, but it seems like kicking is far from a sure thing anymore. Seeing more blocked FGs, etc.

Seems like its either a 60 yard kick or a kick getting blocked. Hardly any in between.

[Bootz]

My God. Never thought Jerry Jones ego could get any bigger.

[Sooner06]

Somebody ran a bad route, but maybe keep that play in the book?

[Bootz]

Jordan Love had 2 WRs open in the same area. I've never seen that before.

[Bootz]

Right lol. Increase your odds.

[Sooner06]

[Sooner06]

Don't be stupid, just run it again right up the middle

[Bootz]

Great throw by Love.

[Sooner06]

'Twas.

[Bootz]

Another. Blocked. Kick.

[Sooner06]

WTH IS GOING ON IWTH ALL THE BLOCKED KICKS/PUNTS THIS YEAR?

[Bootz]

Golden got popped! But it was a good, clean hit and he got right up.

Good football.

[Backside]

Have defenses figured something out regarding getting through the initial blocks on kicks this year? A rule change we’re not aware of? Teams are getting to these kicks at a rate I’ve never seen.

Honestly it could just be a matter of ST units being comfortable for all of these years and taking their kicks for granted. Kicks & punts were basically seen as formalities and routine. Now teams have something else to worry about. I love it. It makes all downs truly matter.

Watching the packers cowpaddys game- having to insert my own “cat and mouse” analogy since Brady isn’t here to do it

I was saying this earlier. I feel like ST coordinators have found some way to exploit blocking schemes on kicks. There have been too many blocked kicks this this to be a coincidence. Looking forward to someone breaking down what’s happening.

CBS Sports spoke with nine special teams coaches and players, and the majority pointed to one factor in particular as the biggest in so many blocks this early in the season.

"There's not enough time in a day," said one NFC special teams coach. "Folks are turning their attention and emphasis to the kickoff and kickoff return phases and lacking on the punt and field goal protection.

"The dynamic kickoff is so new and it's an actual, every down play. In previous years you could kind of not spend as much time because you know the opponent is hitting touchbacks every time, so you don't have to be as detailed in your prep and can delegate your time in other phases."

"I think the average distance of the field goal attempts, as they've gone up, create a slightly improved opportunity to block kicks because you're getting more lower trajectory balls," said one special teams player.

The average field goal distance this season is 41.5 yards, the highest in league history. Through the first three weeks of 2015, the average was 37.6.

Live-speed field goal block and protection are almost never practiced in the NFL. The potential for injury is too high for teams to regularly practice it in training camp, and the preseason games don't usually have your Week 1 starting unit on the field.

"I think it's from just overall lack of continuity with the players out there playing on special teams," a third NFC special teams coach said. "If you are not playing starters on offense and defense in the preseason, then your starting special teams guys who start on offense and defense are not getting live reps until the season starts."

A fourth special teams coach, this one from an AFC team, agreed that most blocks happen early in the season due to a lack of practice time. But he took it a step further as it relates to personnel.

Guys are getting beat early in the season because the league has fewer practices and joint practices and the offseason is limited in what you can do, so younger guys aren't developing as quickly," he said. "And there are also so many new specialists that are kicking the ball low on field goals and taking all day on punts. The old guys know how to speed up the process and get the kicks and punts off quicker."

He must be watching our games. So it’s this new generation of punting specialists who are going slow regardless of situation.
