Who is on the Mt. Rushmore of Bills Special Teams

[BearNorth]

As far as kickers, its a close call, and obviously Christie kicked in more meaningful games, but Rian Lindell had a higher FG% and XP% than Christie, and his kickoff average was slightly longer as well. Lindell missed 1 XP in 10 seasons.

Is my memory failing me?  Wasn't McGee the CB who would blanket receivers but let them catch the ball anyway?

I dont recall that at all, I remember Mckelvin being this way, but my memory is not the best either

Terrance McGee is the Bills’ all-time leader in kickoff returns (207), yards (5,450), and TDs (5)

And you can't forget maybe the best kick return in history, that ended up nothing when he tripped over his own teammate at the 3 yd line as time expired in the half!

I think I remember this being the Katrina game played in San Antonio?

Thank you. Great player was McGee.

Butch Byrd was a great cornerback,  and still not on the wall.  He was also a very fine punt returner.

Except by doing it this way nearly every kicker in a more modern era would be better. Same with QB’s. The FG% has just gone up at a faster rate league wide. Relative to era they’re about identical. Christie gets the nod for clutch/important kicks and following Norwood, which can’t be easy.

I think it’s time Scott Norwood won something

You're going to have the old timers show their chops and pick Keith Moody.  I'd go Tasker, Moorman, Christie, and McGee.  Runner up - Pike and Parrish.

Mark Pike is the Bills all-time leader in special teams tackles He led the Bills in special teams tackles 7 of his last eight years and yes, this was during Takers run. Tasker got the glory and was great in his own right, but Mark Pike was the true Bills ST Goat!

Mark Pike has gone from underrated to overrated on these boards.  I just view gunners, return guys, kickers, and punters as more vital to Special Teams.
