The right guy to make the Saints special teams excel

Rugby Saint II · 01-11-2017, 12:22 PM

Clemson's special teams were truly special.......every play was perfectly drawn up and executed brilliantly. I would love to see our special teams run like that. However, O'Dea really improved Lutz's kicking when he came in and fixed his technique. I know he's a kicking specialist but is that his only expertise? Do we also need a return specialist?

Unfortunately we didnt see any improvement in kick coverage w O'dea on board, but maybe because he was only brought in to work w Lutz.

I thought the same myself. He's a kicking specialist. That doesn't mean he's a special teams guru.
