Bears ST coach Dave Toub

Is he that good or was it more of having a returner like Hester?

Hester certainly helps, but Toub's schemes for blocking and trickery are phenomenal. Remember the punt return trickery from the 1st Bears-Packers game where Hester acted like he was catching the punt to 1 side with all of the blockers moving that way while Knox fielded it on the other side and took it to the house (nullified by a garbage holding call)? That was pure genius.

edwards had a chance this year to show some worth. it was nominal. there really isn't a need for him. i think he has talent, but you have to invent jobs for him. he's got no true role. he isn't suited as a returner.

just not worth the roster spot, imo.

yeah, that play was pretty amazing. also, the return game without hester has done very well. not as good as hester obviously but still very good. i'd definitely give come credit to coaching there

lol at some of you morons "Durrr it's not the coach it's the players Hurrr"

The Bears could stick our shitty players on that Special Teams unit as still be possibly middle of the pack in rankings.

If he's out there, Hurney can make amends for his recent stint of shitty hirings and grab this guy.

He's definitely worth it.

He hasn't always had Hester, and yeah there's more to it than just returns.
