The kicking game has lost us 2 games... McVay said this pretty much in his presser.

What is the answer to this... I know we are not special teams experts, but how do we stop this from happening?

Short yardage - we don't see dynamic enough on short yardage.

Kyren's fumbling - What is the answer to this recurring nightmare?

Weakness at cornerback - This group is susceptible.

Kicking: perhaps Kartys knuckleball kick off is affecting his field goal kicking. And there’s something wrong with the long snapper basically doing little to nothing in blocking anyone.

KW: if he wasn’t fumbling, he’d be right behind Nacua and Stafford as the offensive MVP. He’s gotta put two hands on the ball at the point of contact probably easier said than done, but he’s not strong enough to hold onto the ball when he takes a big hit.

Short Yardage: perhaps Whittington can get us one or 2 yards. If not, don’t count on our OL blowing up anybody for one or 2 yards in critical situation.

CB: Trade for someone asap. The seven dwarfs aren’t working out.
 
We need to come up with some craftier short yardage plays and different looks. Draw up something completely new.

Kyren: Whenever he's in the facility, anywhere, walking between two points, he carries a football. When he gets surrounded by people, is instructed to make sure two hands are on the ball. Tell others to try to knock it out. Lather, rinse, repeat, until ball protection is muscle memory.

Corum, re: his hands: Juggs machine, juggs machine, and more juggs machine. Then get him to run some routes off to the side in practice with Jimmy or Stetson throwing to him.

Kicking, I'm not sure. But there needs to be some serious coaching intervention and remedial work here.

McVay, gameplanning, not sure either. He and the entire staff need to take a hard look at themselves and learn to adjust faster when their initial plan isn't working. I wish I had more confidence that something would change in this area, but I've not seen much to make me think it will.

Pat McAfee brought up he fears that the knuckleball that Karty kicks off with is messing with his FG kicking.

Short Yardage I quite frankly just don't think we have the strength up front to get those tough yards.. didn't help we have a backup LG/RT playcalling and a questionable C in Shelton. Kyren and Corum CAN get tough yards, but the OL hasn't helped them much in that situation.

Kyrens fumbling? He is who he is at this point. A fumbler. My fear is he's going to get too into his head about it and have it happen again.

At CB.. needs to be a trade. We absolutely cannot expect to win a playoff game with this group. I wanted Akhello at #2 and a bonafide #1 this off-season. Dwill/Durant/Forbes are OK 3/4/5 guys but absolutely cannot be 1/2 guys.

Personally, I'm not too worried. We'll figure it out.
