Keys to Success in 2009: Number Five, Special Teams Play
This post begins a series on what I see as the five keys to success for the 2009 Gamecocks. Today we look at special teams. While special teams don't always get much attention from the press, they're absolutely critical to a team's success. Good special teams play results not just in points in the...
Post-Spring Preview: NC State, Cont.
This column continues my recent comparison of the two teams' offenses. I would say that our offenses look fairly similar--both have potential but have some questions to answer. On defense, though, I'd say we have a distinct advantage that should play to our favor in the game. Defensive Line State's...
The more new Colts special teams coordinator Ray Rychleski talks, the more I like him
Colts special teams, circa 2002-2008 Photo: www.shipmentoffail.com We're all friends here, and I think we can all agree that one of the positives (and there were very few) of Tony Dungy retiring was seeing longtime special teams coordinator Russ Purnell kicked to the curb. I miss Dungy...
Colts hold press conferences introducing Larry Coyer, Ray Rychleski, and others
Colts.com (which just recently got a horrible site update, making the front page confused and clunky) just posted the audio for today's press conferences introducing Larry Coyer as the defensive coordinator, Ray Rychleski as the special teams coach, Frank Reich as the QB coach, and Clyde...
Ray Rychleski to the Colts; Shane Beamer to Take Over Special Teams
In a long-awaited move, special teams coach Ray Rychleski has left South Carolina to take the same position with the Indianapolis Colts. While we can't blame Coach Ray for leaving for a position at a succesful NFL franchise under his old colleague and new Colts coach Jim Caldwell, his departure is...
Rating Steve Spurrier's Assistant Coach Hires
News out of Columbia today is that Coach Spurrier has hired former Arkansas secondary coach Lorenzo Ward to fill the same spot at Carolina; Ward replaces Ron Cooper, who departed for LSU. Spurrier has now filled his four vacancies, with Ward replacing Cooper in the secondary, G. A. Mangus replacing...
Reviewing Vanderbilt...
C&F hit the major points. Horrible special teams play, poor pass protection late in the game and horrendous run blocking throughout the game, Munnerlyn losing his head when he most needed it: these are the things that led to another loss to Vandy. The protection problems I expected to some...
Three Reasons Why We Will Beat NC State
Time to tame some wolves (this allusion would be more appropriate if we were bulldogs, but whatever). Like most people not from Raleigh, I believe that we will beat NC State. Why, you ask? Below are three reasons. (1) While our offense will not blow anyone's mind, we will protect the ball....
One Last Position Battle
I'll have to admit that this report out of Greenville makes me a little uncomfortable. After last year's Clemson game, I'd prefer to go into this season completely confident in our punting unit. Not something we want to see this year.
TARGET FILE: vs. Georgia [09.13.08]
The one C&F was least looking forward to. Let's go ahead and get it out there, because there shouldn't be much suspense: I see no way the Gamecocks will win this game. Not in the "all-hope-is-lost, mail-it-in" sense. Of course there are ways that South Carolina can win. But to say I'm...
