eball Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Bills don't plan to punt this year. That's just a side job for the holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I still don't entirely understand why we cut Stahovich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I still don't entirely understand why we cut Stahovich I still don't understand why they cut moorman. Probably count in one hand the times I recall moorman shanking a punt in hi career. Powell shanks multiple each game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 It was one shank (for 19 yards) when the ball was at mid-field and he was trying to directional kick it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, I thought that in his last few years here, he was pretty inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was two - tough listening on the radio - either way, one per game is too much, which is what he seems to average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Eh, I thought that in his last few years here, he was pretty inconsistent. Maybe inconsistent, as in not booming huge punts anymore. But he wasn't shanking 19 yarders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thought it was two - tough listening on the radio - either way, one per game is too much, which is what he seems to average. I looked at the gamebooks for both pre-season games. No shanks in game 1 (Powell punted first half, Stahovick in the 2nd). And he had the one shank, his first punt, again at mid-field, which looked like a directional punt gone awry. Might have to table the directional punts for now, IMHO.

bills44 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Maybe inconsistent, as in not booming huge punts anymore. But he wasn't shanking 19 yarders. Inconsistent, as in booming punts into the EZ from the opponent's 45-yard line, and kicking 35-yarders from our own 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbalaya Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Two Oakland punters today -- Kluwe the ex Viking averaged 49 yards on three kicks and a second year guy, King i think, averaged 57 on three kicks with a long of 61. One of the two would work nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justnzane Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 It was one shank (for 19 yards) when the ball was at mid-field and he was trying to directional kick it. ... and his blocker was pushed right in his face. Almost a blocked kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryCletus Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Powell will be fine... Directional punting (never in my life have unseen so much writing about directional punts) is the most difficult kick for a punter... Sure he's a pro... But he has a big leg, and as long as he works on those directional chumpies in practice until he masters them, lets hope he sticks to the short back spin deals we saw from him last year....
