Jim Harbaugh was not happy with punter JK Scott's performance on touchdown return

One of the most exciting plays in Thursday night's preseason action was an 83-yard punt return touchdown from San Francisco's Jacob Cowing. Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh was not happy that punter JK Scott let that happen.

Asked what went wrong on the return, Harbaugh made clear that Scott didn't land the punt where he was supposed to. milkshakeslot.com

"The punt was short and in the middle, and then we got out-flanked," Harbaugh said.

Scott's attempt at tackling Cowing was so weak that Harbaugh was asked after the game if Scott had been instructed not to tackle, on the theory that maybe it's not worth a punter injuring himself in a preseason game. Harbaugh made clear that was not the case.

"No, he's got to have a plan when he's in that position to make the tackle. Something we need to work on, coach up," Harbaugh said.

Scott is the only punter on the Chargers' roster, so he doesn't appear to be in a competition to keep his job, but it's safe to assume Harbaugh is telling him he needs to be better.
