The Bears lead the NFL

Indeed, a team's special teams can, for lack of a better word, truly make a team "special."

Or not.

In the case of the Chicago Bears, however, they've been far above average in special teams and can thank their coordinator, Dave Toub, for their many successes.

Toub, in his seventh season in Chicago, has led the new Chicago Bears jerseys to the No. 1 overall special teams ranking (according to the Dallas Morning News ranking system) two times and has appeared in the top-third for six straight seasons.

Toub has overseen four Chicago Bears' specialists as Pro Bowlers in Johnny Knox (2009), Brendon Ayanbadejo (2006 and 2007), Robbie Gould (2006) and Devin Hester (2006 and 2007).

Think about that for a second.

The Pro Bowl generally includes four specialists a year: a field goal kicker, punter, return man, and a "coverage man," if you will.

Toub has been responsible for six of those slots over the last six seasons, one-fourth of the total allotment of players chosen.

That's saying something right there, folks.

Yes, he can't be given full responsibility for their successes, of course.

Devin Hester is one of the NFL's best athletes, and part of me thinks that even I could guide him to two or three kick return touchdowns a season (I'd simply tell him, much like Forest Gump, to "run, dummy").
