I guess that's why we carry two fullbacks. Hall is a beast on special teams...

Other than the Cobb return in week one the special teams have played very well.
Thanks for the article. Good stuff by Mike Triplett. |

They seem to be getting down the field alot faster, last week in Jacksonville the first time we kicked it to them I think the returner was about 4 yards deep and as he brought it out to his 5 yard line 2-3 players were already in his face, thats the kind of hustle we need - and to just wrap the ball carrier up, dont worry about big hits
