All Field Goals made except one bad snap, punting average over 42 yards with one shank, Punt returns no muffs but not much yardage, Kickoff returns only 3 with 25 plus yard average. So, my criticism has been basically negated yet 5 games in and no big returns. I was hoping Keelan Marion would be as advertised but he hasn’t been the punt returner and with only 3 KO returns hadn't had enough opportunities. I wonder why he isn't the punt returner? Toney has been probably because he has such sure hands. Ray Ray has had a shot and looked good.

Even our coverage on kicks has been adequate, I don’t remember any big returns against us.
Is it asking too much with an exceptional offense and defense to want Special teams to be special returning the ball? Our history is Devin Hester, Santana Moss., Travis Benjamin, etc. It seems our philosophy is to have sure handed returners over explosive specialist.

Great one, if you dig you will find some examples of some poor snaps happening a lot more often than you may realize. In terms of FG's and Extra Points.
 
I'll take the kicker surprising me over the lack luster returns. Some games come down to FG's. Dude has a heck of a leg. The long snapper to holder situation and mechanics still freak me TF out though. Get those guys more practice time or some ****.
