Seems to me the problems on special temas are personel related. The reason special teams don't get much time(and they really don't get much time for the Redskins either. The may get more attention than with other teams but it is not the much time) is that it is not rocket science. We're not talking about a bunch wildly different systems and approaches. Basically everyone does the same stuff. It comes down to who you have on your teams, How hard they play and some luck. The only thing the ST coach has control over is who is on the team(which he basically chooses from who ever the head coach will let him have) and how mentally prepared they are to hold their lanes. Seems to me they just aren't always focused. They are either 100% dialed in or they off in neverland. One other thing that is important is the kicking. Our punting coverage has been very good all year since Tupa has been pro bowl level. The kicking on the other hand has been weak with Hall either hurting or out and Kimrin in.
