We have a good crop of linebackers and have plenty of athletes at the wide out position. How do you all feel about our punt and kick coverage teams next year?

New kicker could be worth a win in a tight defensive battle assuming we can get him into range.

Thoughts?

I expect improvement now that we have a special teams coach. Kicking can only go up.

It would be nice to have a healthy number of cornerbacks to put on special teams.

We have enough safeties to make up for the lack of CBs on special teams.

Hopefully the transfer kicker is the answer at that spot - his accuracy alone (I don't care what level you are on) should improve it.

The walk on kicker LSU is expecting to get will be a big help if he can consistently kick the ball in the endzone. That way you don't have to defend the kickoff as much.

Punting should be fine with both returning.

Punt returns will have to improve, Kelvin Joseph did it in high school. Our kick return game was pretty much non existent anyway as Helaire didn't have many to return to begin with.
