| Special Teams Reactions January 6th 2003 By Bryan Hersh of 49ers Paradise THIS CONTENT IS COPYWRITED, REDISTRIBUTION OF IT (including copy/pasting it to a message board, forum or bbs) IS PROHIBITED AND COULD RESULT IN LEGAL ACTIONS - feel free to quote up to 1 paragraph providing a source link to http://www.49ersparadise.cjb.net is included Despite injuring his ankle in the pre-game warm up kicker Jeff Chandler was money on extra points and his one field goal. His kickoffs with the exception of one, were also quite decent. Punter Bill LaFleur was the highlight of the unit though, averaging 46.7 yards on his three punts. Cederick Wilson miffed big time on a fumbled punt which gave the Giants the ball inside the 49ers five yard line. It was the first turning point of the game that gave the Giants the upper hand for the rest of the second quarter and most of the third. The return units were not anything special either. They consistently failed to give the 49ers any great field position. Similarly the coverage units did a poor job of pinning the Giants deep. Still they didn’t give up any big plays wish was a nice change of pace.
Each week there seems to be troubles with the special teams. With all the injuries it’s no surprise. That this week was no different, was also - no surprise.
