okay, just for discussion, are you referring to our kicker, our punter, our kick returns or our punt returns, or our kick coverage, or punt coverage, points scored against us, points scored by us, starting line of scrimmage on kicks , turnovers created or given, ??? is it better now? by how much?
Found this where you can choose ST ranking by year.
http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamst2010
I didn't look up all of them but since 2010 Texans ST rank was 7, 23, 13, 32, 29. where 29 was this 2014 year I believe.
Then Rick Gosselin of Dallas Morning news ranks special teams annually on 22 different criteria, for 2014 Texans were 15th on his list.

Looks like Gosslin had Texans 23rd in 2010 so quite a variation in two different ranking systems.
and in 2009, Texans were 22nd according to Gosselin.

and Outsiders had Texans ranked 17th.
Then Bleacher report had Texans special teams ranked 30th coming into the 2014 season as expectation based on 2013 in their view

So, that seems to say not consistently near the bottom, overall ST, depending what look at.
Then there are lots of special team categories ranked at this site

We aren't ranked near the top where we would like to be, agree with that .
