Blaine Bishop and Zach Lyons take a deep dive into the Tennessee Titans' mounting special teams issues and the high-risk strategy behind the NFL's new kickoff rules. The guys break down comments from special teams coordinator Bones Fassel, head coach Robert Saleh, and kicker Joey Slye regarding the team's intentional use of "dirty ball" kicks designed to create chaotic bounces inside the landing zone. With missed kicks and touchbacks routinely spotting opponents starting field position at the 35-yard line, Blaine and Zach debate whether the coaching staff is overthinking the scheme, examine how Philadelphia utilized a 12th-man holder to gain an edge, and question if it's time to abandon the cute tricks for straightforward coverage execution.
