Depth Chart Review--Special Teams

So, finally, in our look ahead, we have special teams.  As I covered in stupefying detail, the special teams this year were below average at both until the end of the year, where things came around.  This year, the team is losing its KO returner, Roger Williams, the punter and holder, Nick Iovenelli, and the field goal kicker for most of the year, Matt Norsic.

My guess is that we can probably find someone to be a respectable kickoff returner, but the team is going to have to find someone who can punt.  Iovenelli was pretty serviceable over the course of the year.  At kicker, Phillips is back and he did some of the placekicking, but there is another walk-on lurking around and the possibility that more could be recruited.

So, much as with the other parts of our game, we have some work to do to fill holes on special teams.
