The Splash Zone 3/9/23: Improving the Dolphins special teams unit

For the past two seasons, the Miami Dolphins special teams unit has been pretty lackluster. Kicker Jason Sanders improved from his disastrous 2021 season and punter Thomas Morstead was a great free agent find. Morstead will be a free agent and has expressed interest in returning to the team. He shouldn’t cost the team much. But where the Dolphins need to improve is in every aspect of returning kicks/punts and defending returns. Last season was odd, because key special team players were being forced to contribute more time on the defensive side of the ball due to injuries.
