We still need to get some punt returners that can get out past the twenty- I know the new rules
cause most kicks to go into the back of the end zone. But it hasn't been since the excitement of Domenick Hixon that we've had a "Devon Hester" type returner. I'm sure their first law from the coaches is to hang on to the ball, but it's so much easier starting a drive from the 40..

Need more kickoffs into end zone. Punting okay, for the most part but you held your breath on kickoff and punt coverages. Not much in the way of a return game. No opponents scared of a big-time return.

I think SPT was Giants waekness, no shock there. As Mark said Weatherford was great and Tynes was OK but I would like the return game stepping up big time!
I havent seen the stats for the returns but it has to be low... there for I picked D! A good return game give good field position, good field position makes it a whole lot esier to win games as you all know :P

A+ punter. Weatherford was rediculous. How did we ever get him. Tynes was consistant. You need that in a kicker. I wish he had a bigger foot though. In the year of the touchback, he allowed a lot of returns. That always scares me. The Giants have been shacky on kick coverage for many years now, so anytime the is a return, I have to hold my breath. That being said, special teams coverage was about the best I have seen on this team in a long time. Keep improving guys. Nice job.

Special teams came through when they had to - hence my "A"
