Dallas Cowboys special teams coordinator John “Bones” Fassel did a bang up job in 2020. According to Rick Gosselin’s annual special teams rankings, Dallas went from being ranked 31st in 2019 to 11th in 2020. That’s a pretty big jump and could improve dramatically again this season.
Although it’s probably gone under the radar, John Fassel has already been hard at work strengthening his special teams units. The majority of Dallas’ offseason moves, both new additions and re-signings, look to have been done with special teams in mind.
Players like Tarell Basham, Jayron Kearse, and Jeremy Sprinkle all bring special teams value to the table.
