Coaches Corner: The Special Teams, Part 4


Special Teams:

Field Goals:
Some one has to step and kick field goals even if it is the true freshmen taking the job. B. Wright is scholarship kicker, and new guy coming in, one has to do the job.

Punting:
Game should be strength of team just like it was this year. Mesko could easily have been the MVP of this team this year and that is no joke.

Kick offs:
Need to find somebody that can drive the ball deep and at least get it to the goal line while still getting enough airtime for the players rushing down the field to stop the return inside the twenty.

Return Games:
This needs to be addressed in the spring and find a couple of players that can be deadly returning the ball, but also reliable enough that everybody does not worry each time the ball is either kicked off or punted. We need to win the return game and make this a weapon and not just be safe and put a guy like Mathews back there. Who is a good punt return player, but he will never frighten opposing teams with his moves.
