Special teams

The Cardinals have seen both punter Ryan Quigley and kicker Chandler Catanzaro struggle at times. Both have had their good moments too.

I know a lot of people are asking for them to be cut and bring someone else in but who are you bringing in their place? They might try some guys out but there is a reason why the guys on the street are without a team right now.

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side but you sure have to take a look at the options. One of those options might be a change at special teams coaching.

Not much has gone right on special teams this season from kickoff returns, to long-snapping, to punting, to field goal attempts. Something must change there. I just know if at this point you can replace the players they have?

The Cardinals also need to do something about their kickoff return team. You can’t be bringing the ball out of the end zone and costing your team 10-15 yards of field position.
