Special Teams

The Dude · 10-03-2011, 10:14 PM

I have not heard much about them on the boards this year. It looks like they have improved tremendously over the past few seasons. Figured I would give some props where they are due. Still need some work, but they are on the improve. Even if it would be hard to do any worse than they did last year.

One more thing to thank Darren Sproles for.

Sproles took a lot of pressure off McMahon. So has the new kick off rule and having a punter as good as ours.

Better then last year.

Coverage and return blocking both look a little better this year. I'm happy with what we're doing on special teams.
