– Coach Fickell is very happy with the special teams play so far and says it is a real strength of this team.
– He feels Braxton did a great job in his first start and he protected the ball well. He has progressed nicely in practice this week as well.
– Doesn’t look like either Philly Brown or Nate Williams will play this week.
– Fickell said Christian Bryant brings a certain confidence and IT factor they need at the safety position.
– Jordan Whiting is out for this weeks game with an undisclosed injury.
– Ryan Shazier is part of the 4-man rotation at LB and will get increased playing time as the season goes on.
– Kenny Guiton may get some time on special teams on the kick off coverage and return teams.
Seems like a bad idea putting Guiton on special teams unless he’s the holder for PATs and FGs.
