I am not sure if you are being sarcastic in response to other posters, but this has legitimately been Toub's worst season as the Chiefs STC.
Just because Tyreek made a good return, and Butker made the kick to send it to OT, doesn't wipe out all the holding penalties, illegal blocks, and running almost every kickoff back, from the entire season.
At one point, in one game, we ran 4 kickoffs back in a row, that were fielded 5 yards deep in the end zone, just to get tackled between the 10-15 yard lines, with holding penalties on 3 of the 4 returns, making our starting field position inside our own 10 yard line.
When all we had to do was nothing, and we would have started those drives at our 25 instead.
Maybe the players Toub was given by Reid and Veach were just not very good compared to previous years, but Special Teams never felt like a strength at any point this season.
