Are these our SPECIAL TEAMS coaches for the field goal unit?

If you look back, the wing on the right side of the line of scrimmage completely whiffed (twice) trying to block on XP. He needed more depth (instead of lining up too close behind the line). As the edge widens further and further, the wing needs to either widen or drop back to have a better angle at trying to block.
Crazy no adjustment was made.

Definitely beyond crazy! Just no excuse.
Maybe just a simple line up instead of dancing before the kick? Quit playing "look I'm here, now I'm there' games and set up so you know what the heck you're doing before the kick.
#44 was missing blocks like it was his job.
Obama was also #44 and whiffed on everything he was responsible for. Makes sense
I don't understand what they achieve shifting the line before an extra point. Probably for some future trick play.
Then they positioned the blocker wider and had a DB run through the gap he left open and block the 3rd kick. Boomer was forced to shorten his approach to the ball to get the final extra point kick off.
It's really common and completely stupid. OK let's assume you're going to pass. The holder has to get up from his knees and then figure out where he's going to throw, meanwhile, there's 4-5 D-linemen with no one blocking them rushing like hell. Gee what do you think will happen?
God, Obama…the good old days of politics. George Bush even sounds nice these days.
Outside of that first missed FG, kicking it too low, none of the other blocks were on Boomer. Feel bad for the dude, already going through it with the mentals…#44 sheesh, so bad. Let’s make it easier on Boomer not harder.
Blocking was an issue but I still think Boomer is the issue ..he is launching too low
I thought we would have to play pretty much perfect special teams to win that game on the road. Insane to have three make-able kicks blocked and win. Fix it.
Yeah, the trick play idea, which fools nobody (except maybe in the future) may actually be messing us up. Real brainchild there!
Good Try. Obama was busy fixing the terrible economy Bush left him. Then Trump took credit for the economy Obama helped rebuild.
A muddle huddle (the line shifting on XP) is not really a trick play. It’s just an old-school coaching tactic to try and get an edge. No coach likes to give up extra points. So when you go through the motions and put the formation in film, it kind of forces the coaches in the following weeks ahead to at least waste/burn a few minutes of practice preparing for it (thus taking time away from much more important things).
Hey man everyone is on edge with the election right now. I think I forgot how to laugh.
Boomers long FG attempt was kicked far too low...wasn't the blocking fault.
The 2nd blocked kick....#44 got beat wide.
3rd blocked kick...#44 favored slightly wide and was easily beat on the inside.
I just hope we don’t lose a game before making a decision on Boomer. He hasn’t looked the same in over a calendar year
Worst thing is Boomer's pysche...is dealing with the worst sound in a kickers game...which he heard 3 times on Sat night: Thud-Thud.
You saw his backup? He had a not so good kickoff a couple games ago and looks like he can’t put fork down. Not sure if we have a better option. I haven’t seen him kick FGs though.
