How much better can the coverage get?


I can remember some returns where we overran or struggled to get someone down, but those are pretty solid numbers and a big improvement over last year. Can’t complain about that.

It seems like hitting closer to 98% touchbacks, not returning kickoffs when they shouldn’t come out, and better punting should be the focus then.

I guessed on the 95%, it’s probably higher to be honest, but Saturday they were doing some weird short kick off stuff I didn’t understand.
For the most part the coverage has been pretty solid. Like someone mentioned, they didn’t lose us any games. And I don’t remember many short fields we gave up. Not that it mattered against this defense.

Bramlett averaged 42 yards a punt with a 0.5 return, and 7/21 inside the 20.

Not sure how much better we need to improve there either. Average longer punts means the offense is stalling in your own territory.

Sorry, just not seeing special teams being a concern at all.
