Any truth the reason two 3’s is because the special teams “coach” never updated his depth chart?

    According to de la Torre on another site the reason two 3’s were out there on punt return is because the special teams “coach” never updated his roster. He still had Wilson as 21. Can anyone confirm this?

    If it’s true, that’s an easy fix. Get a new copy of the roster lol

    I'd call it the result of the special teams being under an analyst instead of a coach.

    In my head--- UF
    Heard something else, that Marshall is on the punt, safe team as opposed to the punt block team and was mistakenly sent out

    As with any system, there are critical systems and redumbant checks and balances.
    Apparently we had the wrong plugs in the cylinders.

    Yep, get a new special teams coach. I mean let's wait and see if he's any good or not first. He got his one egregious mistake (becasue of the value/cost of the mistake) and now it's sink or swim for him.

    While he's at it, maybe he can have a field goal chip making contest too. I wonder if Smack can hit a 31 yarder?

    The only #21 on the roster is Desmond Watson.

    I can see the confusion. He and Wilson look like identical twins

    Serious question: Do we have more than 99 players suited up? Why do we have multiple players with the same number?

    It's a double secret deception scheme used to trick the other team . . . except when it doesn't.

    I count 117 players on the roster and 31 sets of double numbers. I’m drinking though, took me several times to count, my figures might be off. :D

    Most teams have duplicate numbers.
