Is it just me or is our coverage units on special teams giving up bigger plays this year? last year it seemed we were lights out, but this year not so much. Do we miss Lewis, the guy was a hard hitting, sure tackler, plus wasn't he a special teams captian last year? Not to say if he were here we wouldn't have gave up that TD last week, and i under that we need to develop younger players with more upside, but does one player really make that much difference?

we got a lot of rookies and 2nd yr. players on the special teams i believe. al everest will get the most out of the players he's given. it'll all come in time. special teams is not what we have to worry about

Is he in the league anymore? I know he was cut by Arizona but don't know if anyone picked him up.

Are u thinking that having keith Lewis on the team what've stopped Percy Harvin's TD return? I highly highly doubt it.

Coaching is the issue...guys are giving up on their gaps way to frequently

Not really -- he whiffed on a lot of special teams tackle last year that could have been big plays -- this is likely why he did not return.

He's still on the street since getting cut by the Cards . . . if the team thought they needed him.
