Bears coordinator Toub says Tillman is team’s best in special-teams role
(MCT) — Curious outsiders wondered why Bears starting cornerback Charles Tillman was on the punt-return unit when he got kicked in the shin Sunday. Special teams coordinator Dave Toub said it was a no-brainer.
“We have approximately seven starters that play at least one phase: punt, punt return, kickoff, kickoff return,” Toub said. “We’ve got to have him on the field because he’s the best guy that we’ve got. He can shut down a gunner single-handedly. There are not many guys that can do that.”
