Special Teams

[ColumbusCounty]

I gotta say our ST deserves some kudos. Tracy Smith has put together a nice lil squad. I was watching this video earlier and it's noted how we've been attacking teams. Gotta love that effort and conditioning. 

Right around the 5 min mark after Vrabel says he studied our "dirty kick" for about two hours last night while getting ready for Sunday's game. 

Ransom, Bam Martin, Tremayne, Incoom,Dalevon Campbell, etc have all looked impressive on coverage at times this season. It's early but Fitzgerald was also great pickup for Dan, especially being a UDFA rookie. Kudos to Martin and JJ as well. 

All we're missing is a reliable returner with speed. Hopefully Etienne/Dowdle/Horn will turn into our version of Ginn this season.

Side note: Give the assistant ST coach a permanent seat on our sideline..we need Darren Bates with that type energy.

Kick off's have gotten some folks attention.

Through three weeks, Carolina has limited their opponents to the lowest average starting field position. And that's a testament to the work of Fitzgerald, special teams coordinator Tracy Smith and the speedy coverage unit.

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel admitted earlier this week that he spent two hours of his Tuesday night watching just the Panthers' kickoffs. We'll see if they can keep Vrabel up for even longer after Sunday.

When you're preparing for Bryce Young at QB it provides the opportunity to spend two hours looking at a kickoff.

I mean really, double McMillan, stop the run and watch Bryce turn the ball over or go 3 and out repeatedly.

Defense is getting better, ST is getting much better, offense is slowest but getting better. Just wanna see continuous progress throughout the year and us continuing to build the roster with young guys.
