Special Teams Report

What is so special about special teams this year? Well the Hawks have some options as far as the return game is concerned. If Justin Forsett makes the final cuts I would look for him to return some punts while Burleson fills up the much needed 2nd or 3rd receiver spot. I would like to see some guys back there with some speed as well. Will the real Josh Wilson please stand up. That is if you can muster up the athletic ability to make this team this year. With Hobbs and Babs in the mix for the backup corner spots or the Nickel back spot, that leaves little room for a guy who has great speed to make the defensive squad. Where would he fit in the roster. Well, we all have seen what Josh can do in the return game, so why not make him a special teams guy? That is where his talent lies anyway. Save Burleson some decision making at that position and let Wilson return kicks and punts. That way Nate can focus on the task at hand: running great routes and catching balls from Matt. I tend to think a little more on the conscientious side and play it safe when it comes to this type of subject but I don't make decisions on the team. I would however, like to see the common sense that we all know Holmgren possesses to take a back seat to some spontaneity in certain situations. I.E. 4th and 1, short yardage red zone situations or maybe even a fake filed goal or two. Whether that will happen or not still remains to be seen. For now you can ponder this question. What is it that the Seahawks possess that is of great value to the fans of Seattle?...END.
