okay, we get it, you're not worried. now how about some football info as to why you think two inexperienced young guys in key special teams positions will be just as good as the veteran guys you just lost.

Jay Williams has a solid hang time and distance average on his punts. PJ was a good punter, but IMO not a great punter. Williams, however, is 6'4 220lbs and is an athlete. A little tackling practice and he'll be a fine replacement.

Cade on the other hand, has one hell of a leg. His accuracy isn't bad, and can't be much worse than Tiffin's was his first year kicking for the Tide. Difference is, like Jay Williams, Cade is an athlete and has the ability to contribute in other ways. Not only was he his team's kicker, but he was the MLB and leading tackler for the 5A Texas powerhouse Southlake Carroll two years in a row. His junior year they were state champs I believe. He routinely booms the ball out of the back of the endzone. Obviously they bump it back another 10 yards in college, but his kicks are soaring out of the endzone by more than 10 yards.

That all being said, you'll have to excuse me if I'm more excited than worried.
