That will be the key. For too long, STs have been an afterthought for Shanahan. "Just don't lose the game" guarantees that some games will be lost due to a lack of quality players. Boyer will need better depth in linebackers, safeties, and TEs if he is to work some magic and make STs respectable. It wasn't all Schneider's fault in the past.

It is such an easy way to give you an advantage in the game.

The positions you listed kind of go hand in hand with roster quality. We need some better players at the positions you listed. We were hurting at LB and Safety

I like it, he was under Saleh in NY. They know each other, which should help Saleh.
Looks like a great resume to me:

During his Jets tenure (2016-24), Boyer led a special teams unit that ranked tied-for-second in total touchdowns (nine), second in blocked punts (eight) and tied-for-fifth in special teams points scored (63) and opponent kickoff return average (21.8). Under Boyer's guidance, two players (WR Braxton Berrios - 2022 & WR Andre Roberts - 2018) earned Associated Press First-Team All-Pro honors as returners, while three players (CB Justin Hardee - 2023, Roberts - 2019 and K Jason Myers - 2019) made Pro Bowl appearances.

Rick Gosselin had the Jets special teams #1 in 2018, #8 in 2019, #9 in 2022 and #3 in 2023.

Boyer survived through like three or four different HCs with the Jets. Supposedly Saleh was looking to bring in his own STC when he was hired with the Jets but then he went back, looked at the film and was like "this dude real good."
It's Monday-I'm braindead-

I'm confused. He was Jets STC. Now 9ers STC

Was he fired or why is he available?

So it's not Brandon Staley as DC and Nick Sorensen as ST coach as some people predicted?
Damn, what a surprise!

Much to the dismay of some Webzone posters

Those folks will now vanish until there's another potential calamity that they can doompost about.

When half the team is on IR, there goes your ST depth. When your ST guys are now starters, Shanny isn't going to risk playing them in both positions, so the practice squad guy has to try to make a name for himself on ST.
