The San Francisco 49ers have missed the play of Blake Costanzo on special teams.

Costanzo signed with the Chicago Bears in the offseason.

“We do miss Blake,” fullback Bruce Miller said. “He was a heck of a special teams player. He had a great feel for whatever team it was, he had a good feel for what was going on. He played for (special teams coach) Brad Seely for years.”

The 49ers rank 30th in punt coverage and 31st in kickoffs.

“There is no replacing a guy like Blake Costanzo, he's in a league of his own,” linebacker Larry Grant said. “Everybody misses Blake -- fans, players on this team, coaches. But unfortunately, he's not here. We got a find a way to get back as a team. We just got to play better; we got to move forward.”
