Two games into the season, we ran a poll asking which personnel group concerned you the most. The offensive line won by a landslide bringing in 63% of the vote (punting was second with 22% of the vote.) The offensive line has made great strides since the early part of the season and now I think we're all on the same page about being more concerned about various special teams units. Our return game (for punts and kickoffs) is going pretty well, but there are some serious concerns elsewhere. We can't get a kickoff into the endzone and Cade Foster is having to make way too many tackles. Field goal kicking (both short and long) is a concern. Jeremy Shelley is mostly accurate (except for missing an extra point last week), but doesn't have a strong leg and Foster is pretty erratic on long field goal attempts. Cody Mandell rarely punts long, though thankfully he can punt high. With all of that in mind, what special teams unit concerns you most going forward?
