Returning for duty with Bills - Jeff Burris

1

I always liked that guy as a Bill, I'm glad he's getting a chance to get some experience as a coach with us now, too. Interesting that it sounds like some of the innovative ST's drills we've heard about were apparently his ideas. But Burris has worked with the return men in creative ways. He has had punt returners toss a ball up as a punt is coming to them, field the punt and then try to catch the ball they originally were holding. He has tossed them six balls in succession to see if they could catch all six. He has lined them up with their back to the punter, forcing them to wait until the ball is in mid-air before they turn around.
