Special Teams: Really? Another missed FG, a blocked punt...

Every week we have at least a couple of big special teams mistakes. It's downright inexcusable. Under Gibbs, teams was very solid. We've plummeted in one short season. Why??

I'll use my Florida Gators as an example- they put a HUGE premium on special teams, to the point that Urban Meyer is actually the special teams coach. ST guys get first in line at team meals. Team captains play on ST. Starters beg to be on coverage units. Urban is maniacal is his approach to teams. And the result? Top to bottom maybe the best overall units in the country.

I'm not suggesting Zorn take over special teams, but shit's gotta change.
