Special Teams Report Card (Bucs game)

they looked fine in the preseason... i guess the cut the better ST players or something, but that ST play was BAD..

yeah it scared me several times... that was the Bucs only offense.

Poor coverage, but Tupa did well, Hall hit 3 of 4 (and crushed the one he missed), and the return game didn't make errors. Solid C.

C from me.

Nothing too impressive in the ST play, but I expect that to improve.

PS - I love John Hall. He's probably the most underrated pickup that Snyder has ever made.

I believe the PK is one of the most important players in the NFL. So many games come down to the wire and it's vital to have someone you can count on.

I shudder to think of the Conway days...

i gave a D. Hall missed the FG (even if it was long, he can hit the 50 yarder), the coverage units were bad, and the return game wasnt good either. Tupa saved them with his nice punts. its more ove a D+. mostly cuz i expected better from this coaching staff on the coverage.

C special teams did win it for us guys. and the return game was good enough for us to win as well. needs alot of improvment but it was enough to win that game. hall gave us a good game. remember how we scored 75% of that game.

I gave them a C on teams solely on the basis on the weak kick coverage. But, I know Coach Gibbs and his staff will work on that. I expect it to improve.

If I could quantify via a number, it would be a C-, or just under 2.0! Poor coverage amounts to a score which equals a lower grade. All parts of ST's have to work. KO's, Punts, KO returns, Opponnent KO returns, Punt coverages, EP's, FG's.

A C-, combined with an A- on "D", and a B+ on "O", equals = W (Win! Not Withdrawal) Bottom Line Grade: "W"!
