Special teams player weights?

I've looked through the forums a bit searching for an idea on how to set player weights for special teams.
I've found @Setherick 's recommended weights for everything else. Thank you, btw, Mr. Setherick, Sir.
I guess I could try to make my own using his formula, but I'm being lazy and I'm just wondering if someone out there more knowledgeable than me has done this already.

There's one position that you can't set weights for ... the lowly punter. :(

What position? The Gunner has varied responsibility under the default roster depth. Overrides have specific more defined set of weights.

Either would be fine. I'd like to know who to put at each position, but a general overall would be okay too. In my depth chart, all of my ST players are rated in the 40s and I know it's off, but I'm not sure by how much.

I use LB and DB as gunners while some also use WR or all backups. Special teams rushers are all my DL and LB and ST blockers are all my OL minus long snapper. For kick holding and long snapping, I use that rating on the player card. I like to have my Punter hold if none of my QB's are any good at it. Long snapping can be done by some TE/FB types, just put a "1" in the long snapping section of the weights to see it on the card.
