Did he really make that big of an impact last year?

There were several new variables added to the special teams units this past year...

Was it this coach or that one? Did the personnel changes improve the units that much? Did firing the old coach get everyone's attention?

Well, at this point, it was working last year, so - don't mess with what's working...

They interviewed Westoff on NFL Radio the day the new kickoff rules were announced. He said that he has at least one more year with the Saints.

Yea because our special teams have been stellar as of late.

Somewhat disturbing seeing Kamara on returns. Great results but hope somebody else can fill that role. Would like to hear Westhoff's thoughts on inserting our best RB in there last year.

Highly unlikely we see AK covering kick offs in 2018. And you are right, someone else will fill that void.
