I've never forgotten when he lost us that Patriots game in New England. My son and I (wearing my white #32) were in the stands....surrounded by Patriots fans. And he had us lined up in two little huddles near each sideline so the kicker could dribble it straight ahead of him where no Browns player could ever get to it.

Bu-Bye!

per beacon journal/nate ulrich.."Tabor required permission from browns to interview despite being under contract" getting weird if dorsey's ploting hues replacement now in 2 openings? ST/OC..that hue says HE's hiring..tic,tock

Good. STs were just horrible. We lost that part of the game nearly every game. That's unacceptable.

Tabor always had a great reputation, but this year was the nail in the coffin for me. A team like ours needs special teams to be a STRENGTH, not a weakness.

Special teams SUCKED the whole time this guy was here. Thank God he's gone!

True enough seems like he's been everybody's pal for many years. Could it be special teams sucked because of personnel just like the rest of the team?

Get Kirk in 2nd round for a real runback/punt returner. Peppers just is not very good at it. He'd (Kirk) also be a decent slot receiver. Hopefully he will still be there in the 2nd.

Edit: I think he's likely still there for our 3rd 2nd rounder.

That's demonstrably false. In fact, before the 2016 season our ST units were never ranked below 15th, and even finished 2nd in 2012.

He had a rough past few years in terms of rank, but our team has also been pathetic. Imagine trying to coach the largely back-ups of an 0-16 team-do you think you'd have an elite squad?

Tabor is a respected coach because he's good at what he does.

Clark W Griswold

The guy was responsible for the worst guys on the worst team in the history of professional football. What the hell would you expect?

We don't get that field goal blocked on the first driver versus Pittsburgh we win that game. And our kickers have blown games the last two years. Fuck this guy.

Gumby mentioned the amount of penalties, then there was the "kick six" against the Ravens. PD put that play as one of the top 10 worst of the decade.

This year? STs have pretty much been shite since Josh Cribbs left.
