Special teams play is very difficult to quantify, but my eyes don't lie....The Patriots are kicking ass on several units. They are winning field position battles, providing turning points in games, and contributing points on the board.
FG Unit:
FGs 7-10... longest 43 yds
XPs 19-19
Total Points = 40.... Rank 18th in points
Note: 16 kickers have made FGs over 50 yds. Ghosts' longest of 43 yds ranks 28th. Game winner vs Balt.
Kickoffs:
69.9 yd ave....rank 2nd
TBs 2.6/game...rank 1st
Return yds 24.9 ... rank 20th
Note: Could not find info on average starting field position which is most relevent.
Kick Returns:
Tate 32.6 yd ave...rank 2nd
2 TDs....rank 1st (tie)
Note: Again no info of starting field position
Punting:
Gross ave 44.2 yds...rank 13th
Net ave 41.6...rank 3rd
3.2 punts per game
Punt returns:
9 returns including 2 FCs (net of 7)
Edelman 10.5 ave
Welker 6.7 ave with 2 FCs (13.5 yds on returnable punts)
0 TDs
Miscellaneous:
1 blocked punt/ 1 blocked FG........ resulting in one direct TD
