Editor’s note: Last of a series looking at the position groups for the Broncos heading into training camp. Today: special teams.
When Tom McMahon accepted the role as Broncos special teams coordinator in January, the longtime NFL assistant coach inherited some less-than-impressive Denver game film from last season.
Eight missed Brandon McManus field goals (two blocked). Six Isaiah McKenzie muffed punts (two lost). Return touchdowns by the Chargers (punt) and Patriots (kickoff). Two Riley Dixon punts blocked. The list goes on and on.
So, why did it all go so wrong?
“I’m not going to go back and try and say what somebody should have done,” McMahon told reporters during organized team activities.
