Special Teams: Our Glaring Weakness.

jupiterfinForum VeteranOPOur 2008 Dolphins are making me a very happy fan this year, with the exception of our Special Teams unit. We are giving up way too much yardage and giving our opponets great field position. Last week we let Denver start on our 5 and yesterday we were burned all day. If we want to make a serious run at the post season we must tighten up on Special Teams.

MIAMI GARDENS - Coach Tony Sparano is beginning to sound like a broken record when addressing the Dolphins' dismal special teams coverage unit.
The Seahawks picked up 147 yards on three punt returns and three kickoff returns, which all provided Seattle excellent field position during Sunday's 21-19 Dolphins win. Those returns included a 50-yarder by Josh Wilson on a kickoff return that led to an Olindo Mare field goal and a 29-yard punt return from rookie Justin Forsett, which also ended with a Mare field goal.
By far the biggest disappointment of this season.
