Chargers: Fix Your Special Teams

Rule # 1) for the kickoff team: STAY IN YOUR LANE. Do not get behind a player who has the same color jersey as yours. Rule # 2) When a kickoff returner returns a kickoff for a 101 yards and a touchdown; do not kick it to him again so that he can return it 98 yards for a touchdown. Squib kicks are usually successful. They are not handled by the best runners. They usually leave the defense with pretty good field position. Special teams execution is divided into two general parts: 1) Inspiration, motivation, intensity, and focus. 2) Strategy, skill, preparation, and execution. With these two parts working together at their highest level: success is imminent. Also, when the opposing team runs back a touchdown for 100 yards, It is a cheap touchdown. It is also a nightmare. When your team runs it back for 100 yards; it is a masterpiece, a thing of beauty, a dream come true.
