Redskins Special Teams May Be the Worst Ever | The Tailgater

They probably aren't going to cost this roster a playoff berth, but I think independent of special teams, this is an 8-8 roster. It's a 5 or 6 win roster after factoring in having to overcome a huge weakness to start or end every drive.

It will take a year or two to get the special teams units on track again, but this does appear to be rock bottom. I don't think we'll have to worry about the problem getting worse next year.

Thanks for posting that...I too agree that the Special Teams are the biggest problem for the Redskins.

The Defense is the other major problem. Of course when the Offense goes into it shell, that does not help either.
