It is often noted that there are three phases to a football game: offense, defense, and special teams. The final element there, special teams, was a thorn in the Cowboys’ side last season. Dallas had one of the worst special teams groups in the NFL in 2019 and are hoping to rebound with John Fassel taking the reins at coordinator.
Players on special teams are vital, even if what they do doesn’t always show up in the box score. The Cowboys are clearly aware of that as they are bringing back one of their special teams standouts from last season.
