The coverage and return units should be much improved since we have added quite a bit of team speed and depth. If our kicker and punter can come anywhere close to what Palardy did last year then we'll be improved as a whole in the kicking game. If they struggle, then it will be the opposite of last year. Bad kicking with good coverage/returns. Last year was great kicking with poor coverage/returns.
I just hope we have a return threat this season. It's been a long time since we had anybody as a consistent threat to take punts & kicks to the house. I can't even remember how far back that's been.
Dale Carter comes to mind right off but I'm sure we've had somebody else as a threat since but surely doesn't pop right into the head. Who has been a consistent threat in the past 10-15 years? I just can't think of any player right now. Would be nice to have a player that could give us a few return TD's this season.

Who's supposed to the faster player we have on the team? Is it Michael Williams as a track star or somebody else? You can't teach pure speed & we just haven't had that type threat in a long time in Knoxville.
2012 Cordarelle Patterson. He took both a punt and a kickoff back for TDs. He was mostly punted away from but on kickoffs he averaged 28 yards per return
Dontie stalworth was a good one
