Jaguars special teams about average

The Jaguars coverage teams are strange….they cover the kick-off well (20.2 yard per return avg) but have problems against the punt, allowing 10.1 yards per punt and a TD.

Josh Scobee has a strong leg, but he’s not very accurate connecting on 9 of 12 FGs and all 13 XPTs.  Punter Chris Hanson is averaging 44.0 yards per punt, 36.0 yards net punt and has pinned 32% of his kicks inside the 20.

The return game is a little unsettled.  Alvin Pearman has returned 8 punts for 78 yards (9.8 avg) and Chad Owens has returned 7 punts for 51 yards (7.3 avg).  Maurice Drew has averaged 25.3 yards per kick-off return, which is great.  Hopefully the Jags don’t replace him due to his expanding role in the offense.
