I thought it might be useful to have a place to talk about the Pats special teams as they progress over the course of the season. Much like we did pre-season, but now the games count, and the players are known and fully involved.
I was a bit surprised that Folk took over kicking duties for Nordin. Will he hold onto it all season?
I was also very shocked to see Brandon Bolden returning Kickoffs. Gunner got one, but I think that might have been a miskick by the Phins Kicker. But I think I woudl rather see Gunner back there than Bolden. But I would really prefer to see JJ Taylor dressed and back there. OTOH, I'm surprised that any returner ever takes the ball out of the end zone on a return.
