]]> From Wednesday to Sunday of this snooze-inducing bye week, we’re evaluating the performances of several Ravens thus far in the season to determine our “EbonyBird.com Midseason Awards” winners. Today, the Special Teams MVP.

Special teams is the most underrated aspect of any sport, in my humble opinion. “Football is a game of inches”. You’ve probably heard it thousands of times in your football-watching career, and don’t expect for it to stop being said, because it’s absolutely true. Inches away from a first down, from a touchdown, from making a field goal. What better way to get those inches, or prevent your opponent from getting them, then special teams? It could be a punt return, a long kickoff preventing a return, whatever. Special teams is extremely important, and I haven’t even mentioned the big-play factor. A return for a touchdown is a dagger into an opponent’s heart, as is a blocked field goal or a big hit that forces a fumble during an opponent’s return.

Award winner after the jump.
