[Posey] How Brant Boyer has turned the 49ers special teams around, leading them to being #1 in this key metric

1. I love me some Skyy Moore. Thx Chiefs.

2. So weird when special teams is a positive week to week

3. Kick and punt coverage and returns have been a liability since Harbaugh or even earlier really. It’s really nice to see that change this season so far

4. It’s been forever since we’ve had a kick return TD and we’ve gotten so close multiple times this year. It’s gonna happen, I can feel it.

5. I wonder how chiefs fans feel about this now considering they called him a bust, do they not have good special teams over there?

6. Special teams has always held us back and Shanny even quoted as not valuing it. I hope that this year (and it would appear so) he finally changed on that.

7. 49ers #1 in “hidden points” which measures things like return yards, avg starting field position, and punts that aren’t returnable. Saved you a click.

8. Moody was the culprit

9. It was rough at first but glad they have turned it around. O and ST need to play great for our defense to shine a little.

10. So, [per DVOA,](https://ftnfantasy.com/stats/nfl/team-total-dvoa) SF has the 12th ranked ST unit.

    Dallas is right behind the 49ers, and the Cowboys’ ST Coordinator is [this guy,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Sorensen) which is basically today’s TIL.

11. Blank check this Mf

12. Last year special team was a disaster
