The Broncos had won their first preseason game of 2015, but Joe DeCamillis returned from Seattle disappointed. Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett had burned the Broncos’ special-teams squad for 204 yards on one punt return and four kick returns, including a 103-yard runback for a touchdown.

Luckily it was just the first game; there would be plenty of time to correct errors, and eventually the roster would be whittled down to make for a less variable special-teams unit.

Criticism came from multiple directions after the miscues in Seattle — even from his own home.

“The great thing about it is, when you go home, you have such support from your wife,” DeCamillis joked. “No, not so much. She's the worst critic. She's like, 'We're not even going out. You played pitiful. I don't want to be around you.' She just wants accountability just like I do.”

In all fairness, the past few seasons set the bar pretty low, which is pathetic given how many backups made the team primarily (or SOLELY) because they were "special teams studs." All that said, there's been a marked improvement covering returns; now if we could just start MAKING some decent returns we'd be set.
