That lasted one punt. Skyy even returned a KO.

Butker did not practice. The game is Thursday. Will we have a S doubling as K? Maybe just on KO.

The bad--a rehash of the many mistakes that ST made against the Colts. If you play a lot of new people, this is one of the downsides.

Then there is the good. Tommy Townsend is having a fantastic year so far. They recognized it with the PotM award.

We knew in August that there would be issues with special teams. There was too much personnel turnover to avoid it. This article gives a thorough breakdown of each ST unit, noting where things have improved significantly from September into October--and where it hasn't. It should also be noted that recently acquired WR Kadarius Toney has college experience returning both punts and KOs.

Here is a film review of the ST, noting both good and bad. FBO ranks the ST unit as middle of the league. One note of interest is that Nazeeh Johnson has come on in the last few weeks. He is the last of the drafted rookies to make the 53 and looks to have a future on ST.

Here's an article on the rookies and their impact on ST. If you want to know what happened to Leo Chenal look no further. We have been good in coverage but not so good blocking returns.
