jahnyc Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 TD definitely deserves credit for finding/assembling a talented group of speical teams players. We have execellent returners for kick-offs and punts. McGee is unreal and Jonathan Smith and Clements have looked good on punt returns. Our coverage units have been strong. In years past, I would wait for a big return against our kick-off and punt units. It always seemed inevitable. Not now. It is interesting how TD has done well finding cb talent, but not offensive line and dt talent. I believe scouts cover specific areas and schools, not specific positions. If so, I wonder what makes the difference between a good pick and a bad pick (i.e., who has input in the decision). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv felt ST was important but Wade forgot about that being a key part of the game. Bobby April has proven he knows what he is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Our ST ends up top 3 when all is said and done. McGee is just so damn explosive and elusive. I wish you could use him & Nate more but if they got injured you're boned on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnyc Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 Yes, there has been much improvement since the Phillips and Jones show. April has really elevated their play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
