Blocked kicks and constant mental screw ups that cost them big.
The only bright spots I saw were Crosby and Micah Hyde on special teams.

If he can get and remain healthy.
He was good at Wisconsin, but seemed to be injury prone.
I hope it's behind him now.

I still can't believe Rockmolder said special teams was "mostly good" this year.

I agree with the F grade.

We need a new special teams coordinator. Not saying it's unequivocally Slocum's fault, but it's his job to fix problems. And the special teams protection was a joke this year.

To his credit though, the return coverage (on kickoffs and punts) has DRAMATICALLY improved the last couple years (especially this year). Remember when it was basically every game that there was a 40+ yard return? Now it's rare to see a 30 yard return and we seem to stick people behind the 20.
