The moral of this story is that this team will likely be very very good in a year or two. Two things must happen. The players must improve.

and...more importantly.... the coaches must improve. Maybe some half time adjustments, that would be good to see atleast once. Some better playcalling as well. Also fundamentals on D, teaching our players to tackle. And of course. The f'in special teams.

Not to start an argument, but I feel the need to point out that Rojas shanked a Rugby punt. To me, that is the big difference.

If we would let him kick all conventional style punts, I think we wouldn't be having this conversation. If we want a rugby punter, then the coaches should walk across campus and find one.

Before the game I saw Rojas warming up. He punted the ball from the North 45, and it landed in the construction site. It didn't bounce into the construction site, it landed in the construction site. The boy has a cannon, and he can put a tight spiral on the ball when he punts.....when we allow him to do a conventional punt.

Go Falcons!
