San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 The Dallas Morning News usually comes out with their rankings of NFL special teams units in late January, early February. I'd be curious to see how the Bills and the Titans were this year. Last year he had the Titans as the league's 5th ranked unit and the Bills at #11. DeHaven has come under a lot of criticism here. I'd like to see what an in-depth analysis shows. Here's last year's rankings: http://www.dallasnews.com/newsletters/nfl/20120123-gosselin-49ers-patriots-prove-what-a-focus-on-special-teams-can-do2.ece
Mr. WEO Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I'd laugh if they hire Bruce DeHaven... Did you laugh when the Bills re-hired him?
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 edit: When I say "in-depth," Gosselin ranks the special teams in 22 different categories.
boyst Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Did you laugh when the Bills re-hired him? No, not the rehire. I did laugh when we fired him as the scapegoat.
BuffaloFan68 Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I think DeHaven could be a lot better with a young HC that would push him to be more aggressive. I assume that Chan always directed him to stick with the safe and higher percentage stuff.
MaineMoxie Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Would it be a bitter pill if the Bills hired this guy? Link Did anybody ready the some of the comments? Apparently Titans fans think about as highly about their franchise as Bills fans do.
Captain Caveman Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I think DeHaven could be a lot better with a young HC that would push him to be more aggressive. I assume that Chan always directed him to stick with the safe and higher percentage stuff. is there anything at all which supports this assumption?
Bob in STL Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 DeHaven is a solid ST coach. The Music City miracle tarnishes an otherwise excellent career. Ok, maybe kicking it straight away was a better call in hindsight but every player on that kick coverage team will tell you that Dehaven tells them to "stay in their lanes" on EVERY SINGLE kickoff. Had he called a normal kickoff and the Titans returned it he would have been questioned for not squibbing the kick. The players and the refs blew that play.
nobody Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I think this is what was needed for the Bills to finally break the curse. They will now reach the playoffs once again.
Marv's Neighbor Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Would it be a bitter pill if the Bills hired this guy? Link We hired Gregggg and he still owned an oil painting of that play! One bitter pill is enough for this lifetime!
JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 If his ST squad is still ranked in the top 5 for the league, I would be glad to hire him on. Nothing salves a bitter loss from years ago like winning in the postseason.
Thirdborn Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Always a good sign when the universe corrects itself Titans fire Music city miracle coach
BUFFALOKIE Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Will the Flutie curse end? 13 seasons later? I guess we'll know the answer to that if Houston wins it all? GO TEXANS!?
BuffaloWings Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 We'll know the worm will have turned when the Bills get away with a forward lateral in a playoff game.
Helpmenow Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 And ronnie jones is still working. Looks the same
Garion Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 I laugh about the comments about Jerry Gray their DC who was ours under Williams as I recall.
cale Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Lowry will probably end up in St Louis with Fisher. Short drive from here. Gray is a fraud.
ChevyVanMiller Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Dehaven had the best quote ever about that play when he was asked if, in hindsight, he regretted not kicking it out of bounds. "I wish we'd of done just about anything other than what we did."
