with the improvements on D and a steady offense, let's hear your suggestions for upgrades on special teams.

nugent, yes. but who's a kick returner to fear?

don't remember their names right now but one is a WR that runs a 4.33 in the 40 and the other is a CB that runs a 4.29 in the 40

the NUGE...i really need to stop with this topic i think i'm saying his name in every thread i enter regardless of the topic.

kick returner...we should've made a run at tim dwight...i dont think he costed much but, any who he's off the market. if i had it my way (id find a way to get an extra second rounder) and draf roscoe parrish...this kid is the next dante hall...

Nugent is a must, but also we must look deeply out our punting sitation. We need to win the game of field postion, and having a stud punter would help. We lost alot of close ones last year, and special teams was the reason. If we could possibly try to get Todd Saubraun(He is in trouble again, the Kats could be sick of him, he would greatly assist us.).
Roscoe Parish would be very nice too....a true kick returning threat would be great to have.

and what happened to darren bennett this year, the punter? he came in with great expectations, but was stale from the very beginning and never got better.

what the hell, we've upgraded everything else, we might as well look at doing something special there too?

hey i might be wrong but i was watching like sports wrap in like week 10 and bennett admitted he was kicking like crap...and said they found it was problem with his release of the ball and that they remedied that..

...and wouldn't you know it from that week on on thought he really did a great job punting so i think the vikes will be more than happy to keep him.

Still, the time is right to make a move on Saubraun...the Panthers are getting sick of his antics, and he is getting sick of the Panthers...but yeah....unfortunatly we cant give up on bennett just yet Crying or Very sad

.....It would be so much easier to, but we cant just yet.

Antonio Perkins. Solid CB and Special Teamer, and THE best Return Man in College football. Could be had in the 3rd round.

I think Mewelde Moore did a good job returning kicks last season, especially towards the end.

Apparently Tennese has a really good punter coming out, I can't remember his name.
