Arrellious Benn might just be the best ST gunner we've had here since Montell Owense & Kassim Osgood (honorable mention to Chad Nkang, only around for a year or two but was a nightmare on ST coverage, shame he only lasted a year)

I can't say enough about how much the ST has improved with the return of Joe DeCamillis. I LOVE the lane discipline and sound tackling, in 1 preseason week they already look better than any point in the last half decade under Mularkey and Bradley. Back when this team was good in the mid 2000's ST's was a HUGE reason why, from coverage stars in Owens and Osgood, to clutch kicking by Scobee, and having MJD and a few others add a dangerous element to returns. We stole quite a few games off the back of this unit. I'm glad to see an emphasis being placed on it again since it was maddening to see us squander leads because of a lack of focus on ST's.. it's cliche but they really are on the field more than you would think, and all it takes is one bounce on ANY play to blow the game open.
