Special teams are often the black sheep of any football team. Nobody would argue that special teams have as much of an impact as offense or defense, but there’s still a huge part in each game for those players to play.
Last season, Arizona’s special teams could best be described as mediocre. Lucas Havrisik was a pretty good kickoffs guy, J.J. Taylor scored a touchdown on a kickoff, and everything else was pretty bland.
Havrisik and Josh Pollack could never quite figure out place kicking, combining to miss eight of 27 field goals.
