Brother's NFL TDs have Denney dreaming of possibilities
BYU defensive end Brett Denney isn't on the Cougars' PAT team, but don't be surprised if he starts lobbying coaches to put him there.
Denney's brother, Ryan, a defensive end for the Buffalo Bills, caught a 25-yard touchdown pass from punter Brian Moorman on a fake field goal play in Sunday's 27-7 loss to the New Orleans Saints. It was the second-straight season in which Ryan Denney, who played for the Cougars from 1998-2001, has caught a TD pass on a fake field from Moorman, the holder.
Brett Denney said after practice Tuesday that he talked to his brother about the Moorman-to-Mormon TD, but that Ryan Denney wasn't "too excited" about the play because the Bills lost.
"It is fun for him, but when your defensive end is the only one scoring a touchdown for your team, I don't think it is as much fun as you would want it to be," Brett said.
As for the "Lambeau Leap" that Ryan Denney took into the Bills' crowd after the score, he told Brett that "last year, my celebration was kind of lame, so I thought I would give that a try."
Brett Denney joked that he has "thought about" asking the coaches to put him on the PAT team.
"I would say, hey, look what the Denneys can do," he said.
Another Denney brother, John Denney, is the deep snapper for the Miami Dolphins. John Denney played for BYU from 2002-2004.
