Daisher: Rocca Needs To Be More Consistent

After what can generously called a sub-par performance by the Eagles' special teams in the 48-22 loss to the New Orleans Saints, special teams' coordinator was very blunt in his assessment of the special teams moving forward.

"Any time you have a game like that and you're a coordinator, whether it's offense, defense, or special teams, you have a responsibility to the team," Daisher said. "We are going to make sure that we get the things corrected that we need to get corrected and play better next week."

Daisher said that the key to fixing the problems that occurred last Sunday is to get it right during the week.

"Everybody has their own way of going about coaching," Daisher said. "I try to get as much done as I can during the week, because if I have to coach something on Sunday it's too late. Sunday is to try to give them a little bit of information on the sideline, make sure everybody is doing the things they should be doing, those types of things on Sunday. If you're coaching on Sunday a lot, you've got trouble."

Daisher also analyzed the performance and future of punter Sav Rocca.

"He's getting better," Daisher said. "He is improving directionally punting. He needs to be more consistent.

"He has very good potential, he has great leg strength. He needs to become more consistent. As you look at him from week to week, he has over a 41-yard net in that game, 41.6. That would lead the National Football League at the end of the year. Now, he had two punts in that game that we'd like to have back, that he could do over again. But, it's no different than a player at every other position. Every play is not going to be perfect. Every punt is not going to be perfect. You try to look at the body of work and if he could do 41.6 at the end of the year, he would lead the National Football League in net punts. So, that part of it is positive, but he can't have the inconsistency."
