Pretty good ST article. I put in some of the highlights.

Ron Zook is willing to acknowledge just one thing about the job his units have done this season: It's just six games.

Zook said... "The thing about special teams is you can go here (high) to here (low) in one play. You don't get second down. You don't get third down. You have to play every play like it's the last play.

Asked if he was at least satisfied that his units had limited big plays, Zook said no.

"I don't know that you ever get satisfied," he said. "You always know that you're one play away so you're continually looking and you evaluate yourself as to how other people are looking at you.

Statistically, the Packers rank among the best teams in the NFL if you take into account 12 special teams measures and average where the Packers rank in each one.... If you average all 12 of the rankings the Packers stand fifth in the NFL.

So they haven't given up the big dumb play. However, they must be near the top in terms of penalties. It seems almost every return we are flagged for something. Hard to say that doesn't hurt as we are constantly 10 yards deeper starting off than where we should be.

8th best average starting field position on offense and 7th best average starting field position on defense. They've been doing something right.
