Good article at Sports on Earth yesterday, trying to put context around how bad the Redskins Special Teams actually are.
Redskins Special Teams May Be the Worst Ever | The Tailgater (http://miketanier.sportsonearthblog.com/redskins-special-teams-may-be-the-worst-ever/)
They probably aren't going to cost this roster a playoff berth, but I think independent of special teams, this is an 8-8 roster. It's a 5 or 6 win roster after factoring in having to overcome a huge weakness to start or end every drive.
It will take a year or two to get the special teams units on track again, but this does appear to be rock bottom. I don't think we'll have to worry about the problem getting worse next year.

There are no shining beacons of hope...but the defense has played a really, really tough schedule. No, the Vikings aren't a tough opponent. They just crapped the bed last Thursday.
8-8 isn't where we want or need to be, but it's at least where we would be if the Special Teams units weren't collapsing under their own weight.

After watching Sav shank a 15yd punt, I realized it can only get better for the team next year.
I think it is time to make plans for 2014 FAgency.
Rak, Baker, moss, Riley, doughty, Jackson are guys I hope can resign cheap or walk b/c we have upgraded.
I feel like the $36 million in cap will be spent fast with all the needs we have. WR, RT, G, DE, MLB, CB, FS, SS.
I've sort of lost confidence in Shanny's drafts but perhaps Thomas will come back strong next year. For the love of god, get LeRibeus on the subway diet or something.

Thanks for posting that...I too agree that the Special Teams are the biggest problem for the Redskins.
The Defense is the other major problem. Of course when the Offense goes into it shell, that does not help either.
