NVRamsFan Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 https://mobile.twitter.com/LindseyThiry/status/1226927965403066369 Had the Lions at #8 ranked special teams when the Rams were 23rd last year. No idea why the Lions let him go but he has 16 years of ST coaching experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr LBC Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Totally superficial observations: - Epic surname! (which makes up for his real given name being Giovanni...) - He's a former Central Michigan head coach - Dude beat cancer. - He looks like a slightly heavier version of Hank from Breaking Bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BStanRamFan Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 In 13 seasons as a ST coach, he had two Top 10 units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same amount of time Bones only had 5. Yes it's more but hardly qualifies for the Sainthood he's given by Rams fans. Recent history though he's produced better with lesser talent than Bones did for the Rams so all we can do is move forward and hope for the best.

Sainthood for Bones is more than just a ST ranking though. Hekker has been top punter in the league for a while now, with the exception of the Arizona Week 17 game, Bones has been spot on with fake plays, and was given ability to draft in later rounds for special teams purposes. Plus the players loved him. Just pointing out that although last year Bonamego had recent success, it was more of an outlier comparatively speaking.

No argument here. McVay clearly wants more say so in all aspects of his team, which you love to see from your HC after 3 seasons. Everyone he's hired is YOUNG. He will have more say in special teams and defense then ever before. Let's see if his coaching tree continues to grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
