This ST unit has an opportunity to be the best in the biz this year. Seely is an extension of Mangini: Excellent tactician who demands concentration and preparation from his players.

Special teams units are critical in close games: Covering a kickoff/punt with the lead in the last two minutes, etc. I am confident the Browns will end up on the positive side of those exchanges and that could make the difference between a win and a loss.

With regards to the rule change on the 2-man wedge on kickoffs, I am wondering a few things: 1) How are they going to monitor that while watching for all the holding, etc., 2) If a team is flagged for having too many men forming the wedge, what kind of penalty is it? Unsportsmanlike, personal foul? & 3) Is it a spot foul like a block in the back, clip, etc.?

I can't find anything definitive, guess we'll have to wait till it's called.
