I read a few comments about Special Teams and it sounds like that unit should be improved this year. The new special teams coordinator thinks JK Scott is going to come into his own this season. Honestly, I'm hoping he isn't used much. Have you heard much about special teams this training camp?

I also think it depends on whom the ST coaches have to work with, like usually backup CBs play on STs... but Jackson and Hollman were healthy scratches last year due to their lack of ST play. And the Packers have mainly gone for the large WRs which aren't the best for STs normally.
Which is one reason I like the CB we drafted in the mid-rounds. I believe he played on all his college ST units, even as a starter CB. And obviously WR Rodgers can return the ball and has a RB like build and I expect him and Cobb to be used for sweeps on offense.
Also do they keep 5 ILBers? For defense they don't need to (And I'm sorta against the idea) but it might be what's best for STs.
