GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
The only players that truly made any kind of impact on the Rams special teams were kicker Jeff Wilkins and punter Matt Turk. Wilkins, who still remains one of the league's top kickers, with his 32 field goals on the year, is the second highest in his career and he tied the season for the lead with Robbie Gould of the Bears. Although he may be losing a little distance in his kickoffs, he still remains far above average in the league in that area.His counter part, punter Matt Turk, who ran into Scott Linehan before the season started, told the coach that if he needed a punter in St. Louis to just give him a call. That call came sooner than Matt expected and he easily won the punter's position with his leg strength and directional skills. Turk proved to be a godsend for the Rams with his punting abilities. Matt was seventh over all in net yardage and tied for 11th for punts within the 20 yard line with 26.
Both Wilkins and Turk are the good news for the Rams special teams, but that's where it ends and the bad news begins. The bad news is that the Rams kickoff coverage finished 28th, finished 26th in kickoff returns, and 25th in punt returns.
The Rams allowed three kickoff/punt returns for touchdowns, while scoring none themselves. More often than not the blocking on kickoff returns fell just shy of being hideously inept. Although there was an obvious effort on their part to try and improve the coverage unit, the same thing can't be said for their efforts to find a true return man that could actually make a difference.
Other than Wilkins and Turk this unit still remains a mess and will have to once again be addressed along with the defense.
