Exactly what I was talking about. All he had to do was get a shove on him to knock him off his path to the ball.

1. Gano...come on man, stop biting on them jedi mind tricks
2. Reed...because its fun
3. Joey Galloway...dude right through the hands
A ball moving right over top of the helmet is the hardest catch in football to make. I cannot fault Galloway for that.

tough catch for sure...but like that my other two i criticized, Gano and Reed, the plays were there to be made, but we couldnt make'm. All these were plays which could have sealed victory.....any of the 3 would have done.
0 for 3 on make-able plays were fail. so we are 1-1, but at crunch time good teams make at least one of them. We need to continue to improve the roster.

I think most special teams coaches would tell you that they don't block the outside guy, though on this play, Pollard was pretty flat in his pursuit of the kick.
I thought the alignment looked a bit odd before the kick, though anytime (including this one) that the outside guy blocks the kick, the kicker's timing HAS to be at fault. He shouldn't get there quick enough.

yeah he just missed his punch
someone mentioned that Pollard has had a history of being effective on the rush against the FG

The blocked FG isn't an issue if Haslett knew what he was doing.
