At this point I have a problem with Danny Smith's personell on the punts. He has a safety (reed doughty) in the middle responsible for picking up any defenders that get past the o-line over center. He has Doughty in there because of his ability to get down field, shed blocks and make tackles but he is not used to picking up blitzes. I would like to see an offensive back with that assignment at this poingt - a RB, FB, or TE. ANYONE with experience picking up blitzes.
