He's Benjamin Button!

He won the Bills' punting job. And then that lawyer/girl decided to derail his career.

To be fair, Araiza crushed all his punts in college and was killing it in training camp. He had what seemed like a 80 yard punt in the preseason game and then he was toast. He wasn’t JAG college punter. I guess we’ll see what happens. A lot of Bills fans will be watching him this year, including me.

Some kicker named Andre Szmyt actually went 19-21 for 90.5% and had a long FG of 61 yards. He played collegiately at Syracuse where he won the Groza Award and the Vlade Award (most accurate placekicker). He was signed as a free agent last August by the Bears but didn't stick. Incidentally the Lions tried out both Bates and Szymt and chose to sign Bates. Never seen him play, only reporting what I've read about him.

Can current TBD members be used?

My list is shaped by the fact that I have a hard time hating 3rd liners. For example, while I get the Kelsey hate because of what he symbolized, I can't hate him for not being a top 6 forward. I guess what I hate the most is lack of effort or downright stupidity and that wasn't him. For the same reason, I can't hate Tyrod. Besides, he broke the drought and we got a great pick for trading him which I think (?) was used to help us trade up for Allen. 1. Rex and Greggo - Rex is listed first because I disliked him before he came and hated the hire. They are listed together because they both came in and took a top defense, completely revamped it, and destroyed it. If I remember right, Greggo's defense was number 1 and the Bills number 3 in yards given up the year before he became our coach. He used that as a reason for the change. Such a stupid argument to switch your defense from 3-4 to 4-3 and turn over your players. 2. Orton - an obvious inclusion given that I hate lack of effort and he is a bit of a poster child for that. 3. Jauron - I want to view him as a try hard guy, but stupidity outweighed his effort. I remember once that he decided to play the Brady Patriots with such a soft defense and they ended up scoring on almost every possession. When asked about it, he said that he had to do that so they wouldn't get beat for a quick score. Meanwhile I am screaming at the screen because they are playing behind the sticks on third downs. Dude, it is about stops. I would rather have them beat us over the top 3 times out of 5 than to have them score 5 straight times. 4. Dareus - I can't tell you how high I was on him. He should have been dominant. I can't hate Maybin because the Bills were stupid to draft him. With Dareus, I think the Bills made the right choice to draft him. He just didn't put in the effort. What was his draft position? 3rd overall?

Reality doesn’t require anyone’s participation, BS does. Stating factual history isn’t putting out negative energy. Making a logical supposition based on past history and current status is also not negative. NOBODY wants a SB , this year, more than me. That doesn’t have any effect on whether or not it will happen, though.

It's never too late to bring in someone. Lots of kicker from the last 2 drafts sitting around the house.

Oh, yeah, because Rogers is so full of rage…😉

Good for him.

He’s no Jack Browning, but good for him

Absolutely, just like explaining away Biden’s pilfering of classified docs, disclosing to his book partner, and his partner destroying evidence critical to the SC inv….after proclaiming indignation and assuming only Trump had documents to begin with. Common sense and human behavior suggested that made no sense.

Yes, because every great college player goes on to become a great NFL player. There’s really no difference in talent level between teams San Diego State played and teams that the Chiefs will play. Thanks for reminding me how straight forward it is.

I would be shocked if KC doesn't bring in another punter into camp, they probably just really didn't like what they saw from Rehkow in OTA's so they are going to bring in someone else to compete with Ariza. I would still say Ariza is the front runner but that's no guarantee. The rumor was that the Bills wanted to do something like that but also wanted Ariza to just focus on his case which was more important than his NFL career at the time. So they asked Ariza what he wanted and Ariza preferred to just be released. I don't know if any of that is true but I am glad that after he was proven innocent Ariza has gotten another shot at his career.

At the time the allegations against Araiza came to light, I made the suggestion (here) that the Bills place him on administrative leave. I was roasted for that take.

Hopefully we see him a lot this year!

That's a valid point. Without busting the cap, they could have brought in a UDFA to spur competition. Camp fodder. It's too late now, even the kickers only semi-decent are signed somewhere.

I love Tulsi…Brains for days, leader in the military, well spoken, and just an overall likable person- something Trump could really use to offset his abrasive personality…👍

Ask and ye shall receive:

Too bad the Bills went into guilty until proven innocent mode which seems to be the new cool thing to do

He had his choice of teams to go to. That he chose a nemesis of the Bills is no coincidence.

They drafted Josh Allen and made football fun again so I’ll never hate them. But this was clearly a culture nice guy move that could be a missing puzzle piece to a championship

Rehkow was an UDFA this year. He must have really sucked if they cut him already. Usually teams like to have 2 punters going into training camp and pre-season.

Never…And I’ve learned to accept it…👍 The negativity was there the day the franchise was founded…doomed from the start…And only reinforced with our HC, in his first ever major decision, to trade the greatest QB if all time to our conference rivals…🤣🤣🤣 We deserve what we get…👍

why even put that negative energy out there? When we win it this year it will be followed by at least 2 more with Allen/McBeane
