I'd say we are thinnest at corner, but at least Tankersley is returning.
At some point, improvement on special teams would be a nice surprise but I'm not holding my breath. Our return/coverage units have been bad for years. Why would that change all of a sudden?

Special teams needs to improve and CB. Tootie is good but I don't see Carter or Baker being too good. Hopefully Fields will step up. Saftey we are good and kicker we are golden!

Better weather, players to not collapse on one side of

The field on kickoffs by attacking the ball way too early (what they're coached to do) and smarter fans. Like ones that understand punt return TDs and kick off TDs aren't a common occurence. Someo for our fans genuinely get mad at punt returners waving for a fair catch even when there's nothing there. I swear some still think we have CJ Spiller and the coaches just won't play him.
My request fell on deaf ears last year. Apparently I'm the only one that wants to have a dunk tank wheeled out during halftime containing the belligerently drunk fans that get thrown out of games.

Think it would be easier for people to understand if they weren't watching our opponents doing it.

absolutely no threat in the return game. Stop making excuses for the worst-coached unit on the team.
Tommy Bowden's not coming back...

TDs did we give up this year? How many punt return TDs were there that weren't by a Christian McCafferey? I swear some of our fans are borderline retarded if they truly cannot comprehend why fair catches and touchbacks are so common in today's game. I never said our special teams was great or even very good, I'm just saying it is not bad as some think. Especially when it comes to who we have returning punts. There are 2 areas that need work on special teams. The blocking on kick & punt returns and players have to stop going off on their own when covering kickoffs. That's it. Having a kicker capable of kicking it out of the back of the endzone would be fantastic but literally every team in the country needs that.
Also why do some of you obsess over Tommy Bowden? Tf is that about? Get over the guy, he's been irrelevant for years.

People are mad at the nonexistent blocking on both return teams

Just a guy who can kick it long and high.
Doesn't even have to kick it straight ... just kick it 70+ yards and keep it within a 50 yard wide window.
