Special teams is one-third of the game.
Special teams get the shaft when most people talk football. Unless a kicker's bombing a game-winner or a return man is going the distance, that important third of the game is all but forgotten.
Football is one-third offense, one-third defense, and one-third special teams.
I think there's a lot of different ways to score points and win football games and be efficient offensively, just like there is on defense and special teams. That's what makes this great game so special.
I've been able to speak with most of the special teams coaches and special teams scouts.
One-third of your plays are special teams, so to block a punt and get good field position out of it and score was big.
I think the thing that makes Indiana basketball special is that they have incredible teams, both college teams and pro teams, and they're all about grit.
That's where I began was special teams and it's probably where I'm going to end up is special teams. I try to embrace that and try to do the best I can at it.
Good third-down teams are teams that usually have success in this league.
There's three parts to football: offense, defense, and special teams. You'd no more ignore special teams than you would offense or defense.
Anytime you give up two special-teams touchdowns, I can't imagine the numbers are too good in regards to winning that game.
The most sheer fun I ever had in sports was playing volleyball, a game I commend highly. I understand that an effort is under way to establish a national league of professional volleyball teams, and if you have ever seen the great women's teams of Japan and Russia or the equally good men's teams of Cuba and East Germany, you know how exciting this playground game, which requires so little equipment, can be.
It's the difference between watching a football game between two teams you don't care about, and watching a game where you have some kind of personal identity with one of the teams, if only a huge bet.
I had a toothache during the first game. In the second game I had a headache. In the third game it was an attack of rheumatism. In the fourth game, I wasn't feeling well. And in the fifth game? Well, must one have to win every game?
I'm sure there have been guys who didn't realize they had a concussion and just kept playing. It's a violent game. The head injuries are the most dangerous to play with. We're trained to play no matter what. If you can run, and you're able to focus and know your responsibilities, you're usually out there playing. You wouldn't have enough players if no one played hurt. Especially if you're, like, on special teams, you're going to do everything you can to stay in the game.
I've been on some really good teams, but we weren't able to get over the hump. It's offense, defense and special teams, and then the ball has to go your way.
In every game, there's three teams out there. There's the two basketball teams and the team of officials. If the two teams are evenly matched, it can come down to number of possessions. If one out-of-bounds call goes the wrong way, that can be the difference.
