Special Teams

Guys I am overwhelmed with emotion after this win..............however the Boys must figure out this special teams debacle.....Is Cricket that much of an impact?

Well, it's a mixed bag, unfortunately...The punting is strong, the coverage is spotty, at best...Yet, it was special teams that gave the victory life with a terrific onside kick...That was perfect execution...But another return for a TD against?

I would also like to see the team finally get a returned that can do more than hit the pile on kickoffs....I can't even remember when the Cowboys had a dangerous return man?...Deion?...Williams?

Deion, Kevin Williams, and Woody Danzler lol.

They need a returner and also better coverage.

Tyson Thompson has been underwhelming so far on kick-offs. He is much worse than last year, so far. We cannot continue to give up KO returns for touchdowns. How can they not correct after last week? Also, we came close to getting another FG blocked tonight and guys are getting too close to McBriar on punts (even if the refs aren't calling it when he gets hit).

On the positive side: FOLK is money (he'll eventually miss one, but they all do), McBriar is great and LaDouceur is solid. The execution on the onside kick was priceless.

It'll be all good when Keith Davis comes back, after all we did shut down Devin Hester. I'd say it's just bad luck.

Part of it is definitely luck but part of it poor tackling too...On the other side of special teams, again, it sure would be nice to see some returners for Dallas that can do more than hit the pile

He is much worse than last year and tonight was terrible. I was screaming for them to let Austin return kicks all night.

Kieth Davis is the glue for the ST. He is the leader that is missing.
