Huge improvement over last year. Our kickoff returns have been amazing. Tate and the blocking are on fire!

Ghost is better than 90% of kickers in the league as usual.

Zoltan, has hang time, accuracy, pinbacks, and a big leg. So far, a tad inconsistent, but still a rookie. Even so, still a plus.

Chung was touted as a block specialist when drafted, and proved it today. If he and the unit can keep this up, watch out.

Overall ST coverage has been solid. Youth, speed and no dead weight.

The negatives... Punt returns could use a boost. Average at best so far. And our long snapper Ingram has been erratic but luckily hasn't cost us much yet.

Judging so far, I'd say we are +2 or +2.5 points better than the average team per game on special teams. That alone will win us a every now and then by itself.
 
ST has had some great moments, but I'm still on the fence about Ghost and the Zohan. ST coverage has been inconsistent, but better than last year. Otherwise, I'm pleased.
 
Zoltan has the talent, he just needs more practice. Ghost scares me more.


That said our returning game is undoubtedly better.
