Special Teams
Will special teams put the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl? Andy Reid has put allot of energy into improving the special teams. Draft choice punt returner DeSean Jackson looks to be a big improvement over Reno Mahe. It's great to have a safe catch but it better to go fast up field. The Philadelphia Eagles made trades for position players who have a special team's rep: LB Rocky Boiman, TE Kris Wilson, FB Luke Lawton, bowling ball DT Dan Klecko. These guys bring speed, heart and allot of hit to the special teams. I got to give it to Andy Reid he adds depth to the squad and is always looking for ways to tweak the roster to get a better football team for less money. A player who was a disappointment to me last season was punter Sav Rocca. He had plenty of Australian rules football hype but we didn't see a consistent big boot. I thought he cost the Eagles a couple of games with his shank punts. I hope his rookie jitters are behind him and he buries the opposing team deep in their own territory. Sav also needs to improve in the holding the football for one of my favorite Philadelphia Eagles, David Akers. Here is a player who consistently good every season. Akers always put points on the board. Yes, special teams are going to win some games for the Eagles this year and maybe put them in the big game.
