onejayhawk Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I miss Football Outsiders. They had the best coverage of Special Teams. In 2024 there are major changes in KO rules. Many more returns are expected. The Chiefs add Xavier Worthy to Isiah Pacheco. It says little about coverage but the returns look interesting. XW is a good potential PR as well. Let us not forget where Tyreek Hill made his first impressions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakuvious Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Position battle at punter will, unironically, be one of the more contested spots on the roster this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was top 10 in college football three years running. Third last year. Just got over-shadowed a bit by Tory Taylor because nobody punts quite like Iowa does.

Guess the preseason games will see a lot of testing of different approaches .. aggressive, defensive .. And I guess the teams right now are running lots of simulations ... I'd probably have a High School team with a couple of ST coaches go at it to just get accustomed to the rules, and how to play with them ...

I highly doubt we see our starting RB on special teams. ST is more than speed, Make one/two guys miss and you’re free, that is something KT was made for. I’d like to keep Xavier away from KR’s personally, those guys can take a beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new rules, I expect two players deep and Pacheco is likely one of them. As good as Pop was, Clyde also made a mark. He's no longer the 1st-round icon but he's also a very solid RB. I think Pacheco is still KO return duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
