Small fixable point amidst the bigger issues

[eastbaycat99]

One small thing that made me crazy yesterday amidst the turnovers, LB’s inability to make plays, bad passes and abysmal punt protection were the punts that Navarro failed to field and consequently bounced for 10 to 20 yards for a brutal loss of field position. Not risking a return by fair catching is one thing; not risking a fair catch and giving up long bounces is just bad football. To me, this is very correctable; fix three or few small things and you start winning close games instead of losing them.

That’s been an issue for years. If Fitz wanted to fix it, it would have been fixed long ago

Lees caught those consistently his last two years fielding punts.

It's the Lees we can do

It's an interesting problem to consider...easy to blame Genyk who hasn't shown us much of anything as ST coach over the past few years, but nothing's happening on ST that Fitz isn't approving.
