I wanted to do this because special teams stats are generally under-discussed and not kept track of all that thoroughly. And yet, several players carve out their spots on this team precisely because of what they bring to these units.
This year, I thought I'd update you all on how the coverage units are playing out after each quarter of the season. Obviously, stats like these don't always tell you who exactly has been the most effective stoppers on special teams, but they do show who has been the most active and who is in position to make the most stops.
I've also included the forced fumbles category because that is an identifiable skill that can be the turning point in any given game. I don't include fumble recoveries because those are random and statistically insignificant.
So without further ado, here's the first quarter special teams coverage stats:
| | Tkl | Ast | Comb | FF |
| Jason Allen | 5 | | 5 | |
| Charlie Anderson | 3 | | 3 | |
| Davone Bess | 1 | | 1 | |
| Dan Carpenter | 1 | | 1 | |
| Patrick Cobbs | 4 | 1 | 5 | |
| Casey Cramer | 2 | 2 | 4 | |
| Tyrone Culver | 2 | 2 | 4 | |
| John Denney | 1 | | 1 | |
| Boomer Grigsby | 1 | | 1 | |
| Nathan Jones | 1 | 1 | 2 | |
| Michael Lehan | 1 | | 1 | |
| Brandon London | 1 | | 1 | |
| David Martin | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
| Reggie Torbor | 1 | 1 | 2 | |
Patrick Cobbs and Jason Allen lead the team with 5 total tackles each.
Hey, at least Jason Allen is finding some area on this team to regularly contribute!
