The Buffalo Bills jumped from the bottom of Rick Gosselin’s special teams rankings to 12th last year following the hiring of special teams coordinator Heath Farwell.
While the Bills clearly made strides in the “third phase” of the game, the team is also obviously committed to improving in all phases of the game. Last offseason, they concentrated on fortifying the coverage units as well as the return game, signing free agents like Senorise Perry (replaced by Taiwan Jones this offseason) and Andre Roberts. The next step seems to be replacing the more visible specialists—namely, the kicker and the punter.
