Optimism about our Special Teams

I love your optimism, but it has yet to translate on the field. Kickoff returns are rarely beyond the 20 yd line and often consider holding more often than not. At this point, I'd rather take the touchback. As far as punt returns go... Pittsburgh handed us our lunch with multiple returns that looked easy. And Joe Adams has yet to prove he can hold onto the ball.

Yes, I see the potential, but I haven't seen the results. Let's hope you're right and our special teams become "special" this year.

Sorry OP. Not buying.

Captain is good for getting down the field fast and overrunning the play. You also mention Senn. He has been one of our most penalized players on ST's.

The jury is out on the guy from San Fran, but we already brought in 4 FA's this offseason, all lauded for their ST abilities. We've all seen the results this preseason.

Like others, I don't think it's the players. I think it's the scheme and how they are being coached. Unless there is a big turnaround, Rivera needs to find a new coordinator this offseason, if not before.

      This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one.

      I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
