I dunno what it is about Bones; special teams unit that consistently comes up with Block Punts, more than any special teams unit than i can remember in Cowboys history. .

Not even since late Joe Avezzano, have i've experienced this.
I wonder if Bones unit actually leads the league in blocked punts the last couple of years.

- What is he doing in formation and scheme that makes that unit so successful ?
And it doesn’t matter about the players Armstrong. Gifford, Clements, etc. etc.
– Bones unit simply gets blocked Punts !

If an Armstrong comes up with a blocked FG, that’s just extra mustard to the recipe. (last FG blocked was 2015, I believe ?)

Bones has made a huge difference
kudos for the FG kicking situation with Brett Maurer, Turpin, (hope the new long snapper works out ) Anger has surprising two bad punts but i trust him to get back on track,
BTW, kelvin Joseph is showing up on punt coverages,
I believe we have the best Special teams in the NFL.

Being this is Bones' last contract year, I would really like to see Cowboys re-sign and retain Bones Fassel, as he is now,.as special teams coach.

I love it, if it is 4th and longer than 5 yards Cowboys will tend to come after it. So running into the kicker which is called vast majority of the time as opposed to roughing the kicker still makes it 4th down.
