[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1047087, member: 7261"] I'm not much of an X and O's guy either, but here is how I view special teams and the challenges of coaching Special Teams. First, you are working with 6 distinct groups. Yes, some are kind of similar, but not fully. 1. Kickoff group 2. Kick return group 3. Punt group 4. Punt return group 5. FG/XP Group (offense) 6. FG/XP Group (defense) Second, for the most part, you are working with backups, not the stars of the team. You may not even know who is going to be on each unit, until after final cutdowns. Third, you are also working with a lot of moving and changing parts. Meaning, your available personnel changes often, due to injuries and promotions/demotions. The guy that was on the PS this week is now on the roster and you need to play him in 1-6 of your Special Teams groups. Lastly, practice time. How much practice time is devoted to these groups and when you do practice, do you have every piece practicing? We have seen a lot of penalties and mistakes by the Packers special teams this season. Coaching? Youth? Not really sure, but I know Rich Bisaccia is considered to be one of the better ST coaches, time for him to prove it. I would start by not returning ANY kick offs, unless they are forced to (kick is way short of EZ). Seems like when they do, they are starting well short of the 30. Either because of a short return or a penalty negating a decent return. [/QUOTE]
