There is offense and defense but just as important is special teams. It's huge for your back-up players to be starters and stars on special teams. Yes the punter drafted, but he may get competition from the punter who replaced Huber. These Kick Returners drafted but they will get competition from the kick-returners and special teams players from last year. So even though Bengals have went to Super Bowl and AFC Championship back to back years, there will still be great competition and players fighting for jobs in practices, training camps, preseason games. That keeps the fire of competition and winning burning, with players not slacking off in training, and chasing the ultimate goal of a Super Bowl WIN that has been in Bengals reach last 2 years.
Hopefully Robbins can help us win some field position battles and deliver some coffin corner kicks to make the other team struggle to get away from their goal line and bury them deep, as well as force them to go a long way to score.
Special teams could play a big part in deciding some games (more so than usual), so I'm pumped that it will be a strength!
