How Special are Special Teams?

[gibbsisgod]

Next your going to say the tooth fairy is a myth also?

Now that you have completely ruined my day I will get back on topic:

Special teams to me is so much more than just feild position. I think STs can set the tone of a whole game by being very physical. The tone of a game can change with one huge hit on a kickoff or punt. A team can send a very clear message on the opening kickoff of every game by smacking the shit out of an opponent. I truly believe the most physical team will win the majority of the time and it all starts on STs. Feild position is can be a very good advantage but as noted by the article taf posted, it doesn't nessecarily translate into wins.
