“You know, there are about five guys I’d let go before him, and that would be the five guys that have had mental errors and giving up blocked punts,” Turner said. “He’s not out there doing it. He gets them ready to play. I can put a tape on Friday of a guy doing it right, and then not doing it right on Sunday. That is not Steve Crosby. He does a great job getting these guys ready, and we’ve had some issues. It has been different guys. In two or three cases, it has been a guy that has been put into a new position because of an injury, and they haven’t handled it very well.”
The Chargers has had special teams issues all season including Sunday's fifth blocked punt of the season. Although, it officially goes down as a deflection because it traveled 1 yard, it was a blocked punt. There have only been five other blocked punts in the entire NFL this season.
Norv vowed that the issue will be fixed between now and the next game, Nov. 22 against Denver.
“Over the next five (practices), we are going to fix the issues we have in the punting game,” Norv said. “We will not have another punt blocked for the rest of this season.”
Those are some big words, Norv. Now, prove it.
