So I guess we’re sticking with Blackburn as ST Coordinator?

That was a total win on special teams. EE pinned them deep when needed, Karty didn't miss a kick, Ward with solid snaps, and X-man with the huge punt return (and credit the punt block team for walling off the 69ers legally). It's amazing what an actually good young kicker can do.

Yeah as only wish is I hope that Karty will somehow have kickoffs on his plate before the season ends. No offense to Ethan. As really Karty can also kick it in the back of the end zone too.
But still may for the time being, want to just have him focus on both extra points and field goals.
Still he injured his groin as despite reports saying he did so in the loss to the Cardinals but heard it was before that in preseason.
Still think that if they want to kick it out of the endzone, give it to Ethan. But hopefully Karty will be taking over kickoffs as really think he can kick them out of the endzone as well. Just saying.

if both are kicking it out of the end zone, why do you want Karty out there? If one kickoff gets returned I would rather have our punter trying to make a tackle vs Karty.

Yeah there's no need to change anything, don't try to fix what isn't broken.

It's just that at first I thought Karty would be handling kickoffs as maybe both McVay and Blackburn said so in preseason as maybe when Karty got injured in preseason that it made sense that Ethan was handling kickoffs until Joshua got well. Heard per Jordan Rodrigue as well.

Joshua handled all but two kickoffs in the preseason. Bear in mind.
I would rather have Ethan tackle than Karty lol

Amazing how much better our ST looks with a real kicker and a real punt returner again.
We haven't had both since Powell and Matt Gay were here.

I believe that was the plan because Karty placed the ball better, however, with the injury and the one kickoff in preseason that came up shot, the Rams went to Evans, who is just booting every kickoff out of the end zone, which in now the preferred option.

Ok but really for the time being may just want him to heal and focus on extra points and field goals
