The mail’s here! It is time once again for the Big Blue View Mailbag. So, let’s open it up and see what New York Giants’ questions we can answer. Donald Poucher asks: My question is on special teams; we know three as the K, P, LS are set, but what about the rest? Do you have a prediction for PR, KR, gunner, and other primarily ST players? They are often unsung but “essential” parts of the team. Ed says: Donald, special teams are always fluid.
