Special teams

The Bills are drafting for special teams this day. They lost a TON of great ST players this year and they need that back.

agreed

Re: Special teams

That's why I am not upset with these picks. People look at the metrics and what they see on TV and they don't see the underlying capabilities of these players. It's the Kiperization of everything.

Re: Special teams

Let me clue you in on something. We've had the best ST for the past 3 or 4 years and please enlighten me on how many playoff appearances we have made? Oh, that's right...ZERO!!! This team places WAAAYYYYY too much emphasis on ST. How about trying to make your offense better, so that you can score more points and actually move the ball?

Re: Special teams

And how are fourth round picks going to do that?

They have their most prominent impact on special teams

There were players on the board who would have made much more sense. Also, I would be Ok with drafting offense...we need more players on that side of the ball, since we did nothing in FA to address it. Hell, I would have been happy for them to package picks to move up and get more starting caliber players in the 3rd round. Don't just sit there and draft to fill ST...that's moronic.

How many special teams players did we lose this offseason?

What made u have a 7-9 season. ST

We NEED depth at DE and LB.

If you can't win with the best ST, does it really matter? ST are a compliment to the offense and defense...they should not be the focus of a draft from the 4th round on. You should be looking for players to play...

Why do you think they call him Bobby APRIL?

Re: Special teams

If the mindset at this point really is drafting for ST's (and I don't agree that it is) then it's a big mistake. Draft for starters, draft for depth, and let the special teams squads sort themselves out during training camp.

I don't think signs at the Ralph propping for "April's Fools" would go over too well.

Re: Special teams

The ST was really bad last year. Even Moorman took a hit. The only one who did really well was Lindell.

Unfortunately, I don't see a long snapper in the bunch. Ryan Neill showed that he can't cut it at this point.
