Do not kick to Devon Hester. If special teams blows a winnable game, my head will explode. I do not trust them to contain anyone at this point. Let them go the field instead of the quick score. Hester my not be the best anymore, but he is still good enough to blow this squad up.

Atlanta's advantage in this game starts with special teams. (Actually, it starts with home field, then special teams.) Carolina has the worst special teams in the league this year according to FO ratings. The worst part of the unit, by far, is punting. It's not just the two blocked punts by Minnesota; the Panthers have also allowed 17 returns of over 10 yards, more than any team except Oakland. The Falcons have two strengths on special teams this year. One is field goals, where Matt Bryant has been excellent and ranks third in the league. The other is some dude named Devin Hester. Perhaps you have heard of him? He returns punts. Brad Nortman may have had his best game of the year in Week 11, keeping Hester from making a return with four punts that were downed and two that Hester fair caught. It's going to be hard to keep Hester from any returns a second time.
