Good write up, no disagreements, just a couple of additions which jumped off the page at me. J. Phillips missing way too many tackles. He misses a few because he goes chest high at smaller guys who go under him. Also, any time I pay close attention to him, a tackle is standing him straight up for 3 seconds. Need better or find better.
One other observation about our punter. Forget the butt punt they just need to practice that situation. Not only is he booming them regularly, that punt AFTER the safety sent the returner back towards his own 5... those are expected to be caught closer to the 25. That was HUGE, give the amount of time left in the game. Even a 10 yard difference there and we likely lose, plus it would have taken less time on the play. That was an underrated moment IMO.
