Son of a K-Gun

This is exactly how I think the Bills will utilize him.

Watching the game I kept thinking that AJ Klein was playing great...good showing by the rookie.

I always thought Zuerlein was Greg the Leg, but sure enough Legatron is listed on Pro Football Reference as well.

Probably because the Bills seem to play the Lions every preseason... Josh only played in that third game last preseason, which happened to be the only Bills home game. I could see Josh and some of the starters getting a series or two this week in the final home preseason game, as long as the OL is ready to go. It is kid's day on Saturday and with the way he has treated his youngest fans through training camp Josh seems like a guy that would lobby Coach to let him play for the kids. It used to be that starters would never play the final preseason game because that was when team's were making their final roster decisions...some guys might be going a little harder as they try to secure a roster spot or win a starting job and just no need to subject your star players to that when you know exactly where they are slotting in.

In what world is 62-net on a punt not good enough? The situation there called for one thing, to blast that ball as far as he could to flip the field. Mission accomplished. So let them put their return man deeper, then Araiza can hit a 50 yard "pooch" forcing a tough catch, field on a hop etc. Thinking we could see opponents flubbing a few punts this season. Think it was when Elam came off the field hurt that the site went down. Sitting in the stadium I went checked the GDT as soon as it happened to see what was going on and the site was down by the time I clicked 'Submit Reply'.

When Howard came back out late in the game he seemed to be taking a number of snaps in the backfield. Wonder if the staff wanted to get a look at him in Gilliam's H-Back role since there isn't really a direct backup (not that it is a huge role on this team). Also wanted to note that Howard (along with the other TE's, but Howard primarily) took a number of snaps lined up out wide. Could be an interesting look and a way to create size mismatches depending on how the defense plays it.

If you are Canadian then you are SOL on NFL+ as well as Madden. Asked my rep this week…

Haack trotted out to a sprinkling of boos for the first punt and there was a buzz in the crowd when Araiza came on for his punt. Then BOOM! The punt was like a laser off his left foot and the return man hesitated for just a split second and that was all it took for the ball to fly over his head. NFL returners haven’t seen punts like that and it is going to be a problem. Tape doesn’t do it justice, it is a different animal.

Some of these new segments they are trying are gawd awful…wErdhl or whatever the hell it was, ouch. Hopefully this new crew finds their stride come the start of the season but for now I’m glad I only have this show on in the background. Michael Robinson was just such a no-brainer, you almost wonder if he didn’t want the full-time chair?

Taylor looked like a young Al Bundy that day.

*** Insert Tua joke here***

Saw Jimbo's bike at the HOF a couple weeks ago...he might need to have a conversation with Josh.

So Mongo escaped the thorn of Bobby Johnson and Brian Daboll's OL for the greener pastures of Bobby Johnson and Brian Daboll's OL? Cool.

No red helmet?? Cantaloupe farmer needs to protect his melon.

I’m with you here…I also find that it is hard to listen when it is just one person on the pod, lacks the back and forth rapport.

Shout.

Oh ya, completely understood that half a second is a big difference, but Haack was only 7/100’s better yesterday, not 5/10’s. My kids are competitive swimmers, a sport that is measured to the one hundredth of a second…I can tell you how difficult to see the difference between 7/100’s of a second.

The hang time delta is just 7 one hundredths of a second…stupid question, but isn’t that essentially a wash?

Two glaring things wrong with your post. 1) Detroit is a fine place to live. 2) Ford family willing to spend money.

With all this Punt God love, @Chandler#81 is giving new meaning to his avatar. Araiza...must be Italian 😉

QB coach battle Royal...shouldn't we get behind Joe Brady?

You guys are making me feel old.

Pat McAfee has talked about how he never knew how to hold coming into the league since he was the punter and kicker at West Virginia. He lied to Bill Polian and the Colts telling them that he could, but he had never held in his life. Adam Vinatieri called him on his holding and sent him to work with the guy that held for him in New England. His lack of holding experience didn't seem to affect Vinatieri too much. McAfee was an athletic punter/kicker and he was able to learn...no reason to think Araiza won't be able to as well. Pretty safe to say that the Bills are putting Araiza through his own holding camp, complete with "the guy that held for Bass" teaching him. The Bills don't need Araiza to master holding, he just needs to be good enough to not hurt the team while being better punting the ball than the incumbent who the team had such little faith in that they used a draft pick on a punter.

Did any new season ticket holders get out to attend Rookie Club? My son and I went last night and had a blast. We spent almost an hour on the field tossing the football around and they let us tour the Bills locker room as well, where Steve Christie was signing pictures for fans. Some awesome lifelong memories to start our first season as ST members…now we’re onto day two of our boys trip and heading to Canton 🏈🤩
