It stands to reason he's the reason that Ryland sucks. And even Baringer has been less than expected.
Had he returned to the team originally as just a special teams coordinator (an area he excelled in), I think he might have been fine. But I think he soured a lot of people last year - based on what came out after the season - and likely couldn't come back from that, even if he was put into this assistant role he's in now. I don't know how well the message is getting across and I'm curious to know how much of their issues really fall on Achord, or how much Judge has been involved.With one game left on his NYG contract, it's time to acknowledge Joe's contributions to this team. I don't care what terrible things others have said about you on this board. You'll be an addition by subtraction next year for the Pats and that's alright by me!
I see Pats ST ranked #31 in DVOA. I guess we're not the worse.I see us last on one site ... ESPN for one has us 31st .... hasta la vista Joe.
Changes need to be made ... Cam Achord also .... Matthew Slater you interested?
Fat Matt should definitely get one.Hope he gets his own subforum.
We have 1 more game to try harder.I see Pats ST ranked #31 in DVOA. I guess we're not the worse.

I think there is an issue with the fact that Achord is "in charge" but then Judge is somehow also involved without being the actual "guy" running special teams. Probably leads to execution issues or just confusing leadership.
Now that Judge's NYG contract is over, he will be able to hold a true coordinator position without voiding his HC contract, so I would not be surprised to see Achord fired and Judge become the actual ST Coordinator in title and fully running the show, assuming Bill stays. If Bill does leave, don't be surprised to see Judge as his ST Coordinator wherever he goes.
IMO - Special Teams still hasn't been good this year but it was an improvement over 2022. Went from absolutely horrible to just below-average. At least trending in the right direction if you want to be glass-half-full?
