Special teams players

Hall, Groom, Brown, and Albright, naturally.

Also, Carlos Rogers, Molinaro, Sellers, Kozlowski, Thrash, Khary Campbell, Jimoh, Walt Harris, Cartwright, Stoutmire, Prioleau, Ryan Clark, Royal, Keasey, and probably Broughton.

I don't know what special teams positions look like but I imagine that for punt coverage, the gunners are likely Jimoh and Thrash. Albright snaps to Groom so that's a total of four. Then there are three men on each side flanking Albright and the upback.

The following is complete speculation: Molinaro, Sellers, Kozlowski, Royal, Campbell, and Keasey are candidates to man the line. A typical scenario may have Molinaro, Sellers, Kozlowski, and Campbell along the line, along with faster guys like Clark, Stoutmire, and/or Prioleau manning the edges. Then Broughton is probably the upback.

KO coverage probably removes Molinaro and Albright from the equation and replaces Groom with Hall. The S and LBs probably run down to cover kickoffs to lay good hits as well as Rogers, Jimoh, and Thrash for speed. Keasey and Cartwright have made tackles on KO coverage.
