Redskins interested in April | ProFootballTalk.com

who do you think snyder wants to be our defensive coordinator, offensive line coach, linebackers coach, etc.? i hope snyder assembles the best coaching staff possible and gives it to shanahan.

Based on this source (PFT) I think we might want to take Florio's "source" with a grain of salt. Sorry, not buying that Snyder is forcing coaches on Shanahan.

I don't get the deal with Rock...the best, absolute best you can say of him is that he is reliable in that you will start at the 20 and not fumble the ball. But don't we deserve more, even Cleveland has Cribbs. I would love to be, for a change, the team that puts the other team on its heels with a quick score wouldn't you guys?

That's why I'm so excited about Bobby April. If he can't do that for us, maybe no one can.

Kick returns for scores or blocked punts? In Bobby April's world, such things exist.

Kinda funny because when defending our horrible punt returns to the media, Zorn was quoted that we dont return well because we try to block kicks. How many punt blocks did we have this year?

I can't remember the last time that we blocked a punt.

Pardon the ignorance. Who is Bobby April?

Lotus · 01-07-2010, 04:57 PM

Bobby April was the special teams coordinator for Buffalo from 2004 until they cleaned house this week. He has also been special teams coordinator for the Saints, Steelers, and Rams. His Bills special teams especially have been quite good and he is considered to be one of the top special teams gurus out there.

Looks like he moves every 3 or so years. Wonder what that's about.

April left the Steelers to join his hometown Saints (he's from the N.O. suburb of Chalmette)
He left the Saints in the housecleaning when Ditka was removed
He was fired from the Rams
He was at Buffalo for a while, during which time he won NFL Special Teams Coordinator of the Year. He left Buffalo as part of their housecleaning.

Bobby April has been around with many teams, I believe his longest tenure was with the Falcons. Another good special teams coach is available, Al Everest who has also been around the block. The 49ers just fired him.

Ok I'm confused. Everest is supposed to be good but he just got hired by San Fran in 2007 and now is getting fired? If he's so good why would they fire him?

Thanks for that Video PennSkinsFan its nice to see a young O-Cood coming to the Skins with some new fresh ideas. The Texans had no problem scoring points thats for sure. He did say however its nice to have a franchise QB so I hope JC can be that in the near future with the Skins.

If it's the same video I watched I think he was refering to Schuab. Not JC. If anyone still see's JC as a frachise QB you need to get your head checked. Unless your refering to a franchise backup then yes. I think if we can shore up the OL and give JC all day to throw the ball and teach the receivers how to get wide open we should do well.

I heard someone saying guys like Shanny and BA acquire players with ST's in mind. Danny Smith might not be the problem.
