During Saturday's practice, we focused primarily on special teams. We will need to identify a long snapper, kicker, punter, and kick/punt returners prior to the beginning of the season, in addition to the coverage and return units as a whole.
It is often said that special teams are 1/3 of the game. While it is easy for casual fans to neglect kickers, punters, and long-snappers on a football team, all you have to do is watch a few football games on Sundays and you will see special teams play a huge role in the outcome of the game. Whether it is coming down to a game-winning field goal, a bobbled snap by the holder, a snap that goes over the punter's head...there are countless special teams plays every season that can turn the tide in a game.
Monday will be primarily an offensive practice per our usual schedule. Games are right around the corner.
