Look for Casillas to become an even bigger part of the special teams unit going forward. I think he'll become one of the core guys on the special teams unit during the rest of the season. Even if the Pats increase his defensive workload (like Akeem Ayers), I still see him being a factor in at least one (or more) of the "Big 4" special teams aspects that I mentioned above, which will be key for the Pats.
