We can chalk that up to a number of things, poor special teams coverage, horrible punting, a few big runs were ripped off and put the other team deep in our territority on numerous occasions. But I ,for one, don't think that this offense will change drastically and morph into 'Air Corryell' overnight. We'll be more effecient offensively, but I think the special teams, of all the units, absolutely must have a stellar year for us to have a chance.

We did get bad field position in the Seattle game but the O did nothing to move the ball. Our punter played great that game with the position he was put into for the first 1/4 or more of the game and the D keept them out of the end zone.
