    Don't get me wrong, I'm giddy with the win today. I honestly don't know how any quarterback was able to throw a halfway accurate pass in that wind. I also don't know how Bironas made it look easy.

    With that being said, there are some major concerns with our special teams especially when it comes to defending kickoff and punt returns.

    How many times is Hentrich going to have to make the tackle? How many times can we rely on our defense to make up for the other team starting on our end of the field? I think we've been lucky so far that we haven't had more points scored against our special teams this year.

    This is an area that needs to be addressed and Alan Lowry needs to have our special teams spending overtime to try and improve.

    Yes this is a huge concern. If we played a high scoring team we'd be talking about this the most.

    Watching the highlights, Hentrich did a brilliant job on the hold for the Field Goal.

    I'm worried about punt coverage.

    The punt coverage is a little disconcerting.

    Special teams seemed better last year, but a huge setback so far this season. Especially kick coverage. They don't seem to know where they should be, or how to tackle. They have no Rocky Boiman types....frustrating...

    Donnie Nickey showing off again. All he does is make plays on special teams

    It's a serious concern, and a HUGE dropoff from last season. I don't know what happened, and I'm tempted to blame paul williams, even though it seems that NO ONE has it together on our coverage units.

    I'm also kind of worried about kick returns. Carr had a nice one yesterday but nothing the first game.
