Danny Smith

When you see TJ and Cam out on the kick block team, and JPJ blocking on punt return, you know he's using everyone everywhere.
Oh, and that call on Minkah was BS.

 

Danny Smith always has our ST's in good positions to make big plays. That dumb penalty on the extra point should be a challenge opportunity. If points are directly affected on an obvious bad call then the red flag should come into play.

 

I remember a time when our special teams were truly special

 

Steeler Hats off to Danny" Bubble Yum" Smith.

Side Note: Smith must have a good dentist.

 

My son in law was watching the game with us and said. My god how much gum is that guy chewing? lol

 

Not only the blocked kicks. I don’t recall any penalties on kick returns, and the coverage on kicks has been good. And, of course, Boz is great, and the punting has been good enough. The whole unit is impressive.

 

The Special team units has been awesome this year best one I think the Steelers ever have.

Multiple blocked FG's and kicks, I think one punt.

Calvin almost took one to the house, and when they do kick it short they get down there and tackle well.

Corliss Waitman has been punting well, and Boswell has been complete money.


Special teams is important it costed Cleveland against the Bengals yesterday.

Kicker missed a FG and an extra point, and they gave up a kickoff return for a TD.

In a game they lost by 7.

 

Probably not enough is being said about how good the Special teams have been this year

 

This is also fun to see the steelers with a good punter!

 

That penalty on Fitz needs to be refunded.

 

Has Danny gotten a sponsorship as a Bubble Yum social media influencer yet?

 

Is this the same Danny Smith some wanted fired at times last year?

 

Only because there's no where else to post this, and it's special teams related:
Waitman vs. Kuntz, punter vs long snapper.

 

I remember they sucked 2-3 years ago

Why did they get special this year

 

Same one I wanted fired

If he’s so special why did he wait until now

 

To be honest,I wanted Danny Smith to be fired since his first year with us back in 2013!

 

Didn't have the right players?

Players weren't doing the right thing?

His body was taken over by an alien special teams guru?

 

It only take 12 years to Danny Smith to put good special team with the steelers!

Of course the punter problem in the last few years was not his fault but it was not the only problem of this unit in the past

 

I don't think you're alone on that. I don't know about wanting him fired but I do know at times I haven't loved his coverage or return teams. Give up big plays with very few of our own.

He can get some dudes to block the hell outta some kicks though!

 

Maybe

That’s his fault

Possibly

 

And why was the punter not his problem

Teach him or cut him

 

He can teach them, but He can't fire them. That would have to go through.....Tomlin, the GM, and the owner.

 

Sure but you make that sound difficult

If a player isn’t good and a coordinator or position coach recommends letting him go why would Tomlin object

I doubt the owner would ever say no way Jose
