Key Players

Jason Hanson

Ranked #14 kicker in the NFL. 10 of 25 kickoffs are touchbacks. 2 returned for TD.

Stefan Logan

Rated as the # 6 return man in the NFL. 5-124 KOR and 9-98 PR 4 Fair Catch.
Terrible on coverage. The kickoff return tds were partly his fault.

Jonte Green

Has really struggles. Two kickoff returns at him for touchdowns. Holding penalty as a jammer on the punt team, Gave up a TD at corner. When Leslie Frazier talked about obvious holes in the coverage team he was refering to Logan and Green.

Doug Hogue

Ineffective. Double teamed on the Harvin td. Blocked on the Sherels td. Roster spot should be in jeopardy.

Tahir Whitehead

Has made the best special teams play so far. A forced fumble on a kickoff vs. the 49ers. Little impact other than that.

Ashlee Palmer

Best overall coverage man. Had 4 tackles vs. the Titans. It would be worse without him.

Ronnell Lewis

I am worried about this one. Has showed little speed, one of last down on each kick. Limited production 1 or 2 tackles depending on our source.

Kassim Osgood

Another guy in trouble. Has had zero tackles and a huge missed tackle on the return by Sherels.
