    NO--he read my thread and like most serious football analists looks at Field Goal kickers -- we have excellent kicker so we have best special teams as I have been ridiculed about. Diference of 4 yards on Kickoff or punting just does not win or lose games ( exception was R Allen). 66 points from a kicker does win games. It has always drove me nuts how we seem to ridicule special teams when we excel at what counts--scoring points and in Coach H style, develop players --give them real game experience on special teams .. this foolishness of being 113 or something on coverage when #50 gives up 6 yards less--- again, Barnes won a few games for us --those long field goals were momentum changers and that is what defines your special teams -- sure, we gave up 2 kickoff TDs to teams we blew out--AS and Southern but for each of those we stopped those 2 teams the other 12 times we kicked off to them ( remember how often we scored against both)--

    thanks for posting-- I remember his article last year -- also read his thread about special teams -- my favorite line was basically what difference does kickoff stats matter as long as you keep opponent inside 30 yard line-- then he pointed out we gave up 3 tds on kickoffs ( 2 in blowout game )
