Three of the League's best Special Teams coaches...

[Mr. Scot]

Del Rio isn't going to try and retain April

 

Bobby April gets permission to shop around

[Mr. Scot]

One down...

Aaron Wilson reports the Broncos have hired ST Coach Joe DeCamillis.

[Mr. Scot]

Turns out there was a prior connection there.

Per PFT, DeCamillis was a Quality Control Coach in Denver back when Elway and Kubiak were playing.

[Mr. Scot]

Brad Seely now off the market too.

Alex Marvez reports he's been hired by the Raiders (replacing Bobby April, ironically enough).

Tomorrow I'll probably read how the Falcons have hired Bobby April, after which I'll likely go somewhere and sulk.

[Mr. Scot]

And the Jets have hired Bobby April as their ST Coach.

So that's it.

Only other option right now would be to promote Bruce DeHaven, but I'm not expecting it.

We could still keep Rivera's buddy as an assistant and sign one of these guys to run this poo...

 

Rodgers is staying though. Both Rivera and Gettleman have defended Rodgers

[Camp Fodder]

The Vikings game by itself should have gotten him fired. Two blocked punts doesn't even happen in high school

[mc52beast]

But...But...But... we already have Rodgers, and Ron has already publicly defended him and blamed all the ST issues on players.being hurt

[Mr. Scot]

Adding insult to ineptitude...

 

Chancellor on airborne tactic: Two weeks after the Seahawks beat Carolina in the divisional round, Seattle strong safety Kam Chancellor explained how he twice was able to vault Panthers’ blockers during a field goal sequence at the end of the first half.

Chancellor said the Seahawks picked up on a pre-snap routine by holder Brad Nortman, allowing Chancellor to time up his leap over the line in an attempt to block Graham Gano’s kicks.

“The week before the special teams coach told me once the holder’s head comes around, just take off. We did it two times in practice back-to-back, and it was perfect,” Chancellor said. “We got to the game, called the number and it worked. Unfortunately, I missed the first one. The second one I would’ve gotten if he didn’t shank it on purpose.”

Gano made his first attempt from 35 yards, but the Panthers were whistled for a false start. After Chancellor was called for running into the kicker on the second try, Gano made the third attempt as Chancellor did not attempt another jump.

Shocking, right?

Time for gettleman and riverboat to get to work.

[Ivan The Awesome]

So many good options. Too bad NOTHING will happen. It's frustrating.

[Paa Langfart]

Seems like I heard Steve Logan say just a week or so ago that no team has ever won the super bowl without outstanding special teams play.  If we dont upgrade our special teams coach that alone is reason enough to get rid of Rivera.

[Cam's New Arm]

So basically, Nort did shank that last on intentionally.. Not a bad heads up play.

[KillerKat]

nobody is getting fired.
