    San Diego Billsbackers bar is jam packed with Bills fans at PB Local in Pacific Beach. It is a Blast Highly recommended if ever here during football season you will feel right at home.

    Q: Brandon, on that note, ten offensive linemen, generally you don’t see that. What was your philosophy on that?

    A: Exactly that answer was we just felt those guys had earned it. Again, I don’t know if we’ll be able to keep ten all year. Things happen, injuries happen. Maybe a player that we feel would bring more value and we go to nine and add one somewhere else. We just felt the ten that made it right now had earned that and we’ll see how it shakes out. O-Line depth, I think, is important. As long as you’re not keeping a guy just to say you’re keeping a certain number. We think all those guys that made it earned the right and time will tell.

    Interesting...this jumped out at me as well as other reasonings for why they kept the number of players ay each specific position like RB CB and TE also

    Again, they almost signed Britton until he decided to go with the Vikes.

    I found a link which supports your post

    also the tweet I posted by Vic Carucci was shortened from a longer statement made at a presser which further elaborated on the tweet. This makes me feel better. The whole "Timing" point left me thiunking there had to be more than that.

    Q: How do you feel about your punter situation going into next week?

    A: Corey [Bojorquez], he probably didn’t have the preseason he wanted, or we wanted. He did show some things last year and I think, it’s obviously something we’ve looked at and evaluated what else is out there. You also have to take in the holder part of it too, we don’t want to be flip flopping too much. But we’ll definitely do our due diligence and keep an eye if we think there is a guy that would be a better fit or, I think consistency is probably the biggest thing that Corey, you guys all see his leg strength and what he can do. I thought last season, before he got injured, that he did some nice things. I think kicking is a lot like, I use golf analogies a lot but, it’s a rhythm thing. Whether it was alternating kicks, or whatever, with Cory Carter, I don’t think he ever got into a rhythm all preseason. He’s worked hard. I think he was here yesterday late, working on the jugs and catching, working on his drops. He’s handled it great. We’ve told him what we expect and I expect that he’ll continue to work hard. Again, like we do a lot of positions, we’ll continue to make sure he’s the best player for our team.

    Dolphins Head coach Brian Flores 'wouldn't disrespect the game' by tanking

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    my take  is that no NFL Players and or coaches intentionally tank I mean think about it...those individual coaches and players livelyhoods are on the line beyond that one season...who would intentionally want to hire someone again whom was even hinted at playing or game planned/coached at less than their capability or even worse intentionally acted to sabotage scores of games (intentional drops, fumbles, bad kicks ) upon orders in high? That questions their moral character.... I don't know about you but I woudn't sell that out for anybody period and I doubt they would either frankly (unless HIGHLY compensated to do so)  Money trumps character in some folks)

    Now equipping the team to be competitive or not is something construed beyond the influence of players and coaches now THOSE types (GM's, owners)  I could conceive wanting to tank for what they think is the greater good of the franchise...But in the process conceivably lose the respect of their fan base and the remaining players, coaches etc. So yeah Im not convinced tanking is ever a great strategy I think its bound to backfire one way or another. Winning cures all though and in its pursuit all avenues be attempted or justified to that end. The conjecture  is endless and the answers never really cut and dried ..the bottom line  is the money and how the owners will get the most back on their investment..its all about the Money.

What do you all think would be the best option for Buffalos punting situation moving forward? Do you think Bojorquez stays?  

    Quote

    When the Buffalo Bills trimmed their roster down to 53 players by Saturday’s 4 p.m. Eastern deadline, one player who survived the cuts was punter Corey Bojorquez, who had an underwhelming preseason.

    In the team’s four preseason contests, Bojorquez averaged 45.2 yards on 13 punts (with a long punt of 66 yards) with one boot inside the 20-yard line.

    His preseason highlight came in Buffalo’s Week 3 win over the Detroit Lions, averaging 47.2 yards per punt on five kicks. It was a much better showing than in Week 1 vs. the Indianapolis Colts, when Bojorquez followed up a booming 51-yard punt with a 35-yard shank and a 34-yard shank.

    However, Bojorquez failed to capitalize on his chance to win the starting punter’s role, recording a net punting average of 34.8 yards on four punts in the preseason finale vs. the Minnesota Vikings.

    The Bills could move on from Bojorquez, and if they do, here’s a list of the best available free agent punters:

    I couldn't find anything saying a team ever has went over the deadline. I would think they had a pretty good idea who was making the cut long before the 4 pm deadline?

    if it ever had happened it'd be as rare as missing a draft pick meaning practically never I would think. Thanks for the research ?

    I imagine they made all the cuts awhile ago. We're just waiting for word.

    yeah it was more of a time filler question I don't suspect the Bills would do anything that stupid but I wouldn't doubt it may have occurred somewhere before

    A lock from when? Since the day they were drafted? Of course not.

    it was kind of my point...…...I agree with you so hence the shock I would even question he being named to the roster is a bit ironic....I think he WILL be on the roster and am happy we found a guy who can contribute that late in the draft.
