How many ST only guys should we carry?

[Carne Asada]

I vote 3. K, P, LS and that's it.

I think Munson is functional at LB, that's why he's 4, same goes for Carter plus we're about to use the FB a lot more. I list Carter as 5 behind Munson because there's cheaper and younger options like Lovett.

Fej is 6 because he's a long TD waiting to happen if ever insterted at either safety spot. He's the oldest, most expensive and least functional from scrimmage out of the 3.

I can agree with that. we know Fej played some D snaps. It's not a scenario I want to see, but all ST guys need the ability to play an O or D position

Munson is the first guy that I cut.

Do you think he's a worse ILB than Fej is at S?

 

[djphinfan]

I think you can keep an ace if he’s that good, like slater for New England

As many as the coach wants or thinks is mission critical.

Outside of K, P, and your LS. Every player on specials better be a functional member of your team (specific backup) or someone you see in a specific role in the future.

I'm sorry to say Carter, Fej nor Munsonis are not good backups and shouldn't be on this team day one.

Here are the leaders for special teams snap counts: second number is regular snaps.

Fejedelem 396, 16
Eguavoen 281, 181
Van Ginkle 277, 801
Hollins 277, 340
Scarlett 270, 166
Carter 268, 52
Riley 260, 227
Smythe 238, 716

Everyone else was under 200...

So... Hollins is gone. Van Ginkle and Smythe are major players on their side of the ball. Riley is our only backup coverage linebacker... Scarlett has to beat rookie Goode out of a spot. Eguavoen is likely toast to Tindall.

As usual, it comes down to Carter and Fejedelem... I think Carter is likely cut and Fejedelem sticks and is named special teams captain.

This is where I’m at as well.

Good thread. Not too many fans pay attention to ST, but that affects games.

Concur. Maybe Sherfield or Cracraft is that guy.

 

[Trucanes99]

Maybe we should consult Mike Westhoff?

Agree. Carter stays if McD keeps 5 TE's.

I can't help but wonder if Ingold might contribute on ST. Specifically, the hands team for onside kicks?

Crossen is probably the best STs player on the Dolphins.
