Those are more important positions then gunners.

As long as they don't start giving up field position and/or TD's

Agreed.

Anyway, lousy special teams arguably cost us the Superbowl last year. We haven't given up anything on offense or defense to shore it up.
I'm glad we revamped our ST unit. We're not really carrying more than we used to, we just have better players this year.

We did not properly replace Costanzo and Colin Jones in 2012. This year Ventrone, Skuta, and Osgood have been doing a nice job.

Good call, man! Can't forget about everyone's favorite Niner, Craig Dahl.

He's done a good job and so has Reid. Reid has been the first one down to make a tackle on punts a couple times.

dont get me wrong, I value special teams but im saying i think we have more than enough..im sure these guys will be dropped when our other guys come back..

Ventrone wont, his deal is guaranteed. Osgood sticks as ST Ace. Stupar might when Moody is back IMO.

ST is more vauled over a 3rd string QB who has no chance of seeing the field. 30 other teams passed him. Seattle picked him up in spite of us. He wont see the field as a QB, maybe wildcat or reverses, STs.

Skelton is better than Daniels. I dont get the crying, Daniels is a project QB. Doesn't fit the system anymore. We wont run the pistol or read option much, too risky, why run Kap when everyone wants to kill him.

I said in other thread.

Dian, Tank, Crabs, Mario, Wright, Moody, Aldon are back for, TJE, Dobbs, K.Williams, Moore, Morris, Stupar, and Cunningham.

All you need is a kicker with a rocket leg and kick the ball out the back of the endzone every time. As far as punting goes just kick it either really high or kick it out of bounds. Wasting all these spots on special teams is stupid.
