You know this is a good point; position coaches should be reviewed as much as talent...

This thread Confused the crap out of me. The title is about Special teams, BUT the Poll is about Line Backers? Line Backers are now Special Teams? What is this thread about?

Special teams has a flaw in it. I look at the saints as a team in need of adding better depth across the board in order to improve the special teams play across the board. The back ups are key to special teams. S, CB and LB make up a bulk of your coverage team.

Crap!!! I voted D cause for some reason I thought it said "Linebacker depth"!!!! I would have voted C for our ST depth. It's not even close to being the worst in the league, but I think it could be coached up a little more lol!

that is because teams are very afraid of reggie.

as they should be.

we could line up the entire saints team on one side of the field...
and line reggie all by himself on the other... and the opposing team
would likely triple team him.

they damn well better.

bring the wood.

Besides our coverage unit, who I haven't liked in a very long time, our specialist are all pretty good. I really wanted us to bring back Bobby April when he was let go by Buffalo... oh well. We'll manage to be just fine.
