I think we can all see that the Hawks Special Teams is down this year (with possible exception of our specialists, Ryan / Hauschka)
Our coverage isn't as lights out as it was, and the biggest drop off is in our return game. My question is why and who? I know it's a function of lack of depth, but who specifically in your opinion? Farwell, Maragos? Who? What replacement player hasn't been cutting the mustard?
Obviously, having Tate or Harvin back there would help, but it looks to me like whether it's Richardson, Walters or Baldwin (who had looked good to my eye previously) they have no chance of doing anything.
Is there anything we can do in 2 weeks of preparation to try and sexy up our Special Teams?
So, now I'm looking for some knowledgeable football answers. Go!

) probably not. I think our best hope is to not allow the ST to lose the game for us, like nearly happened last week. Richarson was coming around, but he's gone. Baldwin is servicable, I guess. But we don't really have anybody who kills on returns. I'm kind of hoping it's a non-factor.
