Re: 2024 NFL Coaching Hire Tracker
Special teams are no longer as important as they were a few years ago. Most kick offs are not returned. Punts are rarely returned. Maybe once a weekend one punt may be returned more than 15-20 yards. The biggest job of special teams is blocking by the offensive line during punts, FG's and extra points.

Re: 2024 NFL Coaching Hire Tracker
Fans get pretty jaded only watching their own team. If you have good enough specialists the difference between teams becomes pretty negligible anymore.GreatTimes wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 9:16 pm Special teams are no longer as important as they were a few years ago.

The AFC East was quite literally decided by a huge specials teams play.
Most hated man in America.

Re: 2024 NFL Coaching Hire Tracker
I’m not sure which play you’re referring to.
I’m not saying huge plays on special teams never happen, because they do, but I don’t know that there’s some distinct coaching advantage that somehow creates them.
Piling on Armstrong after he retires seems like beating a dead horse.
If we want to play better on special teams we should make it more of a focus during the later rounds of the draft.

Re: 2024 NFL Coaching Hire Tracker
The play he is referring to is that punt return for a TD in the Buffalo/Miami game on Sunday night that put Buffalo up for good. Miami had the number one seed in the AFC East on lockdown and in the last two weeks, blew two winnable games and didn't even win their division. They collapsed like that before back in 2002 and guess who their special teams coach was then?? That's right, KEITH ARMSTRONG!!! That guy is a piece of shit coach and his special teams are always anything but special everywhere he goes. He needs to be given his walking papers.Grahamburn wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 8:20 amI’m not sure which play you’re referring to.

Dan Quinn gets the Commanders’ job and now all HC positions are filled.

He was also our teams coach for our most recent Super Bowl. :shrug:

Re: 2024 NFL Coaching Hire Tracker
And again, the special teams were nothing special during that time. With the exception that the kicking game was more stable than at any other time in Licht's tenure.... but that's more on Licht for finally finding the right guy.Grahamburn wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 11:50 amHe retired.

I'm glad Armstrong retired. That guy needs to be put out to pasture.

Re: 2024 NFL Coaching Hire Tracker
Fair enough. Just don't be surprised if you don't notice any significant improvement in our special teams next season.BuccaNOLEer wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 1:38 pmAnd again, the special teams were nothing special during that time.

12 TDs last year on kickoff/punt returns begs to differ with youGreatTimes wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 9:16 pm Special teams are no longer as important as they were a few years ago.

Doesn't seem like much of a focal point to worry about to me.Only 0.6% of NFL kickoffs (6 out of 1,013) and 0.3% of punts (3 out of 952) were returned for touchdowns during the 2022 regular season.
Don't tread on me
