'I probably shouldn't have said that': Jets' special teams coordinator slips up, reveals scouting secret

The Jets have undergone a special teams renaissance this season under coordinator Brant Boyer.

After several years of futility - and without a single return touchdown - the Jets have finally broken out and started making that unit a strength.

In fact, through six games, the Jets rank second in special-teams efficiency, per FootballOutsiders.

Boyer has said repeatedly that the team's renewed focus on special teams, desire to keep players on the roster for special-teams purposes and willingness to use starters on those plays has made a big difference.

But some solid scouting has helped, too.
