cody Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I do believe Special Teams is 1/3 of the game. ST's score either by (FG's, TD's on kick & punt returns) or setting up the offense in good field position. If we didn't have such a good ST, imagine what our record would look like? Probably 3-13 or worse. Look at the 2000 Ravens, they won because of dominating defense & special teams. Both units were doing the majority of the scoring. I would trade a top Special Teams for a top Offense or Defense any day. Special Teams is more like 1/5 of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I would rather have a Top Offense or Defense. But if you have a terrible special teams, you risk getting burned like in the Music City Nightmare (good job Bruce DeHaven ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Friends Call Me Tebucky Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 april is great, but a big part of our success is we draft and sign guys just for ST. that's why we have no depth at the lines, guys who would otherwise be decent backups are just ST demons, but are not ready to step up (wendling has been on the team for a couple years, no snaps at safety even tho we have had many injuries). frankly i'd rather be top 5 or 10 instead of No 1 at ST and have better depth for O/D. I agree completely with this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
