Special Teams?
Is it the coaching, do we need an Izzo replacement, or do we need more competition for spots?
We supposedly had indispensable special teams only specialists, yet Kyle Arrington outdid just about everyone in half a season.
Maybe we need to give practice squad and other hungry players like Arrington a chance to knock off draft picks and veteran specialists who can't really play the position they're listed at..
Thoughts?
Rick "Goose" Gosselin -- does as good a job as anyone of doing it. In fact, I'm pretty sure every team in the league takes a good, long look at his special teams rankings.
And this year, he's got Seely's "Teams" in Cleveland at the top of the list.
But if you want another way of looking at Seely's importance, there's this ... In 2009, Goose had the Patriots 16th in his special teams rankings, a bit of slip from seventh in 2008 and ninth in 2007.
