Broncos coach Vance Joseph is going with experience this time
Authentic Joe Mixon Jersey , hiring Tom McMahon to replace Brock Olivo as his special teams coordinator.
Joseph gave Olivo his first shot at coaching special teams last season, but Dave Toub’s longtime assistant in Kansas City oversaw one of the worst special
teams in the league and was among six assistants Joseph fired last week.
Rookie punt returner Isaiah McKenzie fumbled six times but kept his job for most of the season, a sore spot with several veterans who felt there was a sense
of privilege among the members of the 2017 draft class.
Olivo’s units had trouble getting the right personnel onto the field, twice telegraphing trick plays because of it

Denver’s special teams gaffes led to 24 points by the Patriots in New England’s 41-16 win in Denver on Nov. 12 and Joseph drew criticism the next day
for sticking with Olivo .
However, Olivo was one of six assistants fired after a hugely disappointing 5-11 season when Joseph said he needed to ”change the culture” on offense and
special teams.
McMahon is a 26-year coaching veteran who has coached NFL special teams for the last 11 seasons, including the last five in Indianapolis, Kansas City in
2012 and St. Louis from 2009-11.
The Colts featured one of the league’s most consistently solid special teams units during McMahon’s five seasons in Indianapolis. He became available after
the Colts fired head coach Chuck Pagano last week.
Joseph praised McMahon’s ”direct teaching style that emphasizes fundamentals

important phase of our team.”
Joseph also promoted Chris Strausser to coach the offensive tackles and hired ex-Colts assistant Greg Williams to coach defensive backs and ex-Bears assistant
Zach Azzanni to coach wide receivers.
Strausser, who was an assistant offensive line coach under Jeff Davidson last year, will coach the tackles with Sean Kugler coaching the guards and centers in
a new setup along the O-line, which has been the Broncos’ bugaboo going back to
Peyton Manning’s time in Denver.
Last year’s first-round draft pick

allowed an early mistake to affect him and the team adversely the rest of the
game.

Authorities say Aldon Smith is being transferred to an inpatient substance abuse treatment center as he awaits his next court date.
The former Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers linebacker was booked into jail a week ago for violating a condition of his electric monitoring while out
on bail. According to court testimony, Smith had a 0.40 blood-alcohol level when
he showed up at the sheriff's department.
Alex Bastian, a spokesman for the San Francisco district attorney's office
Authentic Da'Ron Payne Jersey , said Friday that the order for Smith to remain in custody in rehab has no end date. Smith's next court date is May
3.
Smith pleaded not guilty last month to domestic violence and other charges stemming from an incident in early March. A judge issued a protective order
prohibiting him from contacting the victim. He later surrendered to police on
charges he violated the restraining order.
The Raiders released Smith after his arrest on the domestic violence charges.
