Buffalo ST: Rangers, SEALS, Delta Force
ORCHARD PARK — Bobby April is a military buff, and as a show of his appreciation for the jobs our service men and women perform, each of the special teams platoons he coaches for the Buffalo Bills are named after specific armed forces units.
For instance, the punt return team is the Rangers because their credo is "No man gets left behind"; the kickoff return is Navy Seals because they must not only complete their mission, but also sometimes they have to find it to complete it; and punt coverage is Delta Force because it demands versatility.
"It's about special missions," April said.

Interesting. Well, as long as they do their jobs, have a little fun doing it.
Get the Bills back to the big game!

Rangers: “No man gets left behind…except former NFL players who gave up everything to join us.”
Seriously, and speaking as a nine-year Army vet, after what happened to Tillman the Rangers have lost a lot of their credibility.
