Ravens Positional Review – Special Teams

When John Harbaugh was hired as head coach before the 2008 season, his expertise was special teams. Naturally, Baltimore Ravens fans expected extremely good special teams play from the home team. In 2009, special teams play was solid, not special. Part of the reason for just solid special teams were injuries and a transition and place kicker. Matt Stover's contract expired at the end of the 2008 and the Ravens went younger and cheaper. There will be improvement in 2010 and I don't think Ravens fans would expect any less.
