How do we fix Special Teams?

[Daseal]

I believe we need some core pieces to our ST, primarily a punter. That said, I believe the biggest direct impact of our cap penalty showed at the special teams level. When you lack that much money you're going to cut your depth over starters. Typically your backup LBs, TEs, etc are your ST studs. We haven't had the money available to have a lot of mid-range players in backup roles. I think we see a natural improvement to our ST simply due to the quality of backup we have on our team. That and coaching. We should have re-hired Burns again just to re-fire him.
