"To cut down on long punt returns surrendered, the Vikings are asking Chris Kluwe to emphasize hang time over distance."

Nooo shit sherlocks! has it taken you 1.5 years to figure that out?

Some yutz on here has been saying that "Hang Time" over "Distance" would solve our ST's woes.

Of course there are some on here who will contend we are better cause one LB is back........(6 whole tackles).

Marr I don't think u are the only one who knows Kluwe needs some work

And multiply 3 a game times 16 games

Very respectable ST's numbers

Kluwe, for the most part, has always given us some solid play.
Sure he's had a bad game here and there, but he does fine more than he messes up. If I compair him to the rest of the punters in the NFL, he's probably just a little above the middle of the lot of them......Not Great, but not Bad either, just solid and gets his job done well most the time.

I think the new ST's staff (Promoted Coord and 2 coaches brought in) will be key to our success this year.
I was originally pretty skeptical but during pre-season, I started to warm up to the new staff.

On a side note, anyone else see that we are using alot of starters in certain situations again? Kindof interesting.

Sure we have, but I don't recall them using them this early in the season.

yes we have.. I remember last year Ced n Winny first few weeks

Farwell has 6 tackles in 2 games.. He is on pace for about 50 ST's tackles.. That is simply amazing

Has double what our next ST'er has.. And if he isn't getting the tackle i've seen him chew up 2 blockers and still be near the ball

He even has more then some of our starters who play many snaps a game

So he is single handily improving our special teams.. Like some of us said he would
