Manny's response to a question regarding the depth chart for special teams was fascinating and hasn't really been discussed here, even though it (the response and special teams) is so important.
Diaz was asked whether there would be starters on special teams. "oh yeah, there will be starters all over special teams. . . .we'll rest a guy on first down if we have to. There's a lot better chance to score on kickoff and punt return then there is to score on first down and ten. That's just the nature of the game. There is a lot of space and lot of grass available to get the ball and guys like you know whether there's Jeff's or KJ's or DJ's hand with all that grass. I know Dan Enos would love to play with all that grass and that separation between him and the defense so that's what happens every time someone kicks the ball to us."
