Redskins: Special teams an issue after loss of Ben Kotwica

When the Washington Redskins take on the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3 of the NFL preseason, a familiar face will be roaming the sidelines in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. He will be coaching special teams, as he has since 2009 in the NFL. And since 2013, he has been a special teams coordinator.

That man is Ben Kotwica.

From 2014-2018, Kotwica led the charge for special teams with the Redskins. And last season, he found immense success. Tress Way was one of the best punters in the NFL, pinning teams inside the 20 a league-high 41 times without allowing a single touchback.
