Special Teams

[Southieinnc]

Aside from Slater and Bethel, who makes the team and plays on special teams. - exclusively or in addition to other duties?

• Cameron McGrone, LB
• Joshua Bledsoe, S
• Tre Nixon, WR

All three are 2021 draft picks and should be able to play dual roles. Especially Nixon on returns.

Do you think McGrone is going to play this year?

"Around their precocious All-Pros the Patriots have again stacked veteran excellence, re-signing Pro Bowler Justin Bethel and kick coverage stud
Cody Davis to join forces with two-time All-Pro Matthew Slater. Longtime special-teamers Brandon King and Brandon Bolden are also back after missing the 2020 season, reinforcing an already strong coverage core."

Gunner Olszewski

Receiver and ST's but makes a bigger impact on ST's.

Don't forget. Gunner was named as an All-Pro returner in 2020.

With Punters Leading Way, Patriots Special Teams Have Been Awful

It's not a stretch to say that this season has seen the worst performance from a Patriots special teams unit in the Bill Belichick era.

The title is misleading.
Instead of stating "With the punter leading the way" It should say "Because of the punters"

FNG Schooler has been lights out all season.
Marcus Jones.
Slater.

That's all we have. Fire the rest, starting with the coach!

Thank you Matthew Slater for all you've done. So sad not seeing you out there on the field. Special Teams will be even worse without you!

Slater has not retired yet

Final grades for Patriots special teamers span from A to F

As a group, the Patriots special teams disappointed, but individually it was really a mixed bag.
