sdrawkcab321 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 A nice change from the worst 2 ST coaches in the league the past couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Congrats to him. I think the Browns could make the playoffs next season, be interesting to see if this hire helps with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y*so*blu Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Well, er ... I wish the Browns luck with him, but suffice it to say Vikings fans are not sorry to see this guy go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I think Amos was statistically the worst ST coach in the entire NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozizaki Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The Browns were having trouble with kicker so they brought in the guy who made Blair Walsh and Daniel Carlson the players they are today. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Browns havent had a kick or punt return longer than 30 yards that wasnt called back for a penalty in 6 years since Josh Cribbs played. As long as the ST gets less than 40 combined penalties this year Ill take that as an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, if he is the 30th ranked ST’s coach he is light years better than what we have had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense. Special teams coaches aren't supposed to make your kicker not poop down their leg in games. They scheme up returns and kick coverage plays. You pray your GM hands you a quality kicker. It's not like those kickers were ruined because of a ST coach. That logic is hilariously flawed. Coaches can't improve kickers that fold under pressure. That's a trait that doesn't get trained out of these guys. Kickers are who they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches can't improve kickers that fold under pressure. That's a trait that doesn't get trained out of these guys. Kickers are who they are. They don't seem to understand we had a special teams coach who seemed to have more penalties and blocked punts than total return yards. We got called for illegal formation on a punt like 3 weeks in a row. Amos Jones should never coach in the league again, it simply appeared he wasn't trying. Don't know anything about Minnesota's ST coach, the stats make it seem as if he's average and we are all estatic with that. Your special teams coach has nothing to do with missing kicks or we will go ahead and blame Amos for that too. He did use the same cadence so much that Pittsburgh blocked a game-winning kick so I guess they can hurt it. Before Amos we had Chris Tabor for for like 3 different head coaches and even he was a notable upgrade. They really haven't had proficient special teams since Josh Cribbs was on the team.

Kickers are who they are. other than Prierfer worked out the college kickers prior to the draft and recommended they be drafted. he bears responsibility.
