Special Teams Improvement

[#26-MEAST]

Last year I was very surprised with the tenacity of our coverage units. With the addition of Blue, McCord, Kirby, Jenkins, Howard , Bush, Duke and so on, I can't help but think that not only will coverage be that much better but IMO we better get ready for the return game to surprise. If there is any part of a team where freshman can excell immediately it's special teams. Not saying experience on those units are unnecessary, it's just a smaller role that is easier to master in a shorter period of time. Hopefully we don't need walkons (not that they can't make plays) but I'd rather have a more skilled player in those spots.

Am I the only one who is not a big fan of the fact that the last line of Defense on the punt team was 3 Offensive lineman and a punter!

Seems like they could put some more athletic people back there protecting the punter!
