    Truly Special Teams

    for all the crap they took this year. its time they get their own attaboy thread.

    for all the talk this week about how the bears were going to have the advantage in field position due bears superior special teams. the packers were clearly better in all aspects of special teams yesterday.

    masthey 5 punts inside the 20 with a long of 65

    Hester with only 13 punt return yards on 3 returns.

    Coverage was great. if i remember right there were 2 or 3 downed inside the 10. (the last touchback was a bs call, what do you have to do to reestablish your feet?)

    Maynard sucked ass. it looked like he shanked every other punt.

    KUDOS Special teams!!

    Yes. That 65 yard punt was a monster and nicely along the sideline.

    How much effect did having Korey Hall have since he was finally active for this game? He was right there on the big punt and forced Hester into someone else's arms if memory serves.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    I am not willing to bet Slocum comes back, but I would bet Korey Hall does.

    Is his contract up? If so, maybe but if some team wants to promote Slocum, I'd be ok with that.

    No. There's still one more game to be played. He can still fuck up the entire season. Let's not put the cart before the horse...

    Since MM called out Masthay in a press conference around mid-season, Masthay has been extremely good. I hope he is the answer for years to come.

    Yes, I got the subtext. But I just used to post to jump in again that we may have seen one reason why Korey Hall is considered a special teams ace and kept around despite being the 3rd FB sometimes.

    Once the injuries settled down, the special teams got better. Perhaps this wasn't all Slocum's fault after all?

    I rarely disagree with you - it's really a comfort around here!

    Maybe the injuries were a part of it, but I thought I remember reading something about how the units were constantly changing (meaning they kept changing the players around). I guess towards the middle of the season they finally had some continuity. Although I haven't been overly impressed, I think they've been adequate. I just wish they could find a KR that gets them past the 20.

    Peter King pointed out today that all of Masthay's punts hit inside the 20. One was the touchback because Bush couldn't re-establish in the field of play, and the others were all returned past the 20. Pretty impressive day.

    I would pay for adequate. Seriously, if adequate is achieved through some consistent lineups, health and injury luck, then that would be enough.

    Unbelievable job by the punt/special teams overall. When you can take away a game changer like Hester you've done a great job.

    We actually had two punters playing yesterday.

    I wonder how many "former" TT players were on the field yesterday?

    Even the punter that GB cut got his team to the superbowl. Kapinos came up with that huge running into the kicker penalty to extend a late Pittsburgh drive.
