Just Wondering about the Special Teams.

We had two things going for us last year, Offense and Special teams. So far in the preseason it looks promising that Offense and defense will show up every week (except BYE week). Do you think our special teams will be the same as last year or even better this year? Even if they are same as last year, I think we can make it deep into the playoffs. Let me have your input.

hmmm from what I understand our ST sucked last year.

- Poor tackeling
- Poor field position
which includes poor punting, blocking, our return guy wasnt bad but IMO I would like better

It was a High focus that Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson would focus on ST this year and so far they have done that. Dont know how many times I have heard the words special teams this offseason.

Coverage should work better. More LBers on the team should help the performance. Return team is going to be tough. Remember that rules change have taken the wedge away, so I think it will be harder for all teams to get as many big returns.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

If we can improve on return punts and kickoffs. That could be a major improvement, and talking about punting oh boy that is yet to be found out.

blackman and nelson are good in punt returns , after that i think we need much improvement, our kr has been bad for years, and we gave up way too many big returns !!

I believe our Special Teams would do fine. Kapinos officially got the punting job and I couldn't be any happier. I'm rooting for him to be a consistent player and do well for us.

And there was something good that came out of Crosby missing on a lot of his kicks during the Atlanta game. It had McCarthy make a surprising admission that he should have had Flynn suit up as the holder. I think the holder was the main reason why Crosby did as poorly as he did that night. We're fortunate to have Flynn doing that for us though because he's really good at it, practically being the holder all his years in college except for his last year playing QB.
