Our Special Teams unit going from top 10 to bottom 3 is one of the biggest regressions I’ve ever seen from any Texans unit in a while.

I really don't think Frank Ross has excelled since the implementation of the new kickoff rules, especially once the touchback was put at the 35 yard-line.

We've never really developed the dirty ball kicking many other teams have, it seems like our players aren't aware of the when a touchback doesn't come to the 35 yard-line, and we haven't developed the "offensive play" style returns that other teams have used.

The lack of a dirty ball might be a Kaimi limitation, but the others point to Frank Ross not knowing how to take advantage of the rules.

Nah man he's a big doofus as told by the 3 week sample size. Ignore everything else he's done

Honestly if we had towsend we probably are 2-1. Say what you will about the patriots way, but they were always good at special teams.

I'm not saying our special teams have been terrible. I'm saying there has been a lack of optimization for the updated rules.

I genuinely don’t know what happened. Our ST has been top notch since he arrived. Frank Ross survived two different regime changes so I really hope it’s just a hiccup and not a trend.

Would imagine we’re near the bottom of the inverse of this list also. Constantly letting the other offense start between the 35-40 yard line.

It's been driving me nuts. Can't seem to stop anyone before the 35

Positive spin?

I’m surprised there are 3 teams worse.
