DeCamillis - Bronco Special Teams

[Mingo]

DeCamillis delivers on promise as special teams coach 

I did not know that DeCamillis was Dan Reeves' son-in-law. Good job on the special teams to date.

I remember during the preseason we were all bemoaning that special teams would undermine this team this year. They have been solid though.

If this offense can get to respectable, not even top-10 but respectable, this team will be unstoppable.

I thought, and pretty sure I expressed it, that DeCamillis would be the most important hire as far as upgrading coaches that we made this past offseason. Obviously I was wrong as Wade has made that a moot argument. Since I've only seen 50% of the games so far I can't comment on the ST play - but what I have seen they are very solid. And I don't think we could have said that the past couple of years.

ST has always been a "hold your breath and hope for the best" proposition the last few years. Weather punting or receiving a punt, I'm always unsure of what's going to happen. I still hold my breath when receiving a punt, but for the most part ST play is much easier to watch this season than it has been in a LONG time.

It has been a very solid unit. We don't have much in the area of big returns but they have been very sure handed and probably more importantly our coverage units have been very good so far. I would also say that both Colquitt and McManus have surprised me with how consistent they have been. Colquitt was a guy I was hoping wouldn't make the team because of how bad he had been doing especially compared to his contract but he has really stepped up his game again this year.

Should we try Talib as the punt returner ?

Should we try Talib as the punt returner ?

I think we'd be tempting fate there.

Ahh he is special I get that but he would be hell on wheels returning punts you can tell.
