The Cowboy's special teams seem to have really improved over last year and not just on punt returns. The coverage units have been doing a really good job of limiting kick off and punt returns. Some guys that I have noticed that always seem to be in on tackles are Sam Hurd, Victor Butler, and Pat Watkins. I think we will see how much they have really improved this week when they play the Eagles.

Joe D special teams coach has done a fantastic job! and drafting Behler did not hurt on Kickoff

May have been the Cowboys best off-season move

Went from maybe the worst special teams units last year to some of the best

Did anyone notice Behler was playing on punt returns too....that really getting ur moneys worth out of a kicker...I think in training camp he had a better 40 time then one of the recievers.....

Beuhler (or however you spell his name) is a danged good football player. That was a steal in the draft. I think I heard that he used to bug the coaches at USC to let him play linebacker. He would make a pretty good outside LB IMO.

Hiring Coach DeCamillis was flat out the best move of the offseason on the coaching staff.

The best draft pick was Beuhler. His kickoff ability plus his coverage skills make him the best kickoff specialist in the league. I love to see him down the field making a tackle on the kickoff returner. He is almost always in or around the tackle.

I thought Jerry Jones had lost his mind when they drafted a kicker but this has turned out to be an awesome decision.

It is amazing how much the special teams unit has improved. Great coaching by Coach D and players buying into his philosophy.

DeCamillis was a highly sought after ST coach with a good reputation. I guess it's a good thing Phillips went after him and they had a good history together.
