Our punters are Schmidt, Gay? Sounds like a beer commercial starring Sandler and Farley from SNL in the 90s.

 

See, that's funny.

 

We have two punters/KO specialists. We will cut one. Hoping to grab a TE of some sort. There doesn't look to be too many out there. But some type of flyer on a guy might be worth it.

 

I 100% believe that Schmidt is the long term answer at punter. Watched 2 9ers ps games and he was booming punts with great hang time. Gay was signed as insurance if no one better came along. Someone a lot better did

Now tell the trouff. Did you lose a bet with JB, or did you willingly take on that avatar. :nana:

 

And while I'm at it with personal notes... it's nice to see Kelly the Dog FKA: KTFABD posting here a lot more recently. I think that also brought back The Dean. Positive stuff for the board IMHO. Now if we could work on getting Lori and Cablebabe back. Though I did see Cindy posting in the last day or so. So, ya never know.

 

I wish I could say I lost a bet. JB seemed so excited to make me an avatar in art class, I didn't want to hurt his feelings. That, and I was half worried that if I refused, he would make me into a lampshade for his remote farmhouse. I didn't want to go out that way, so I accepted the avatar.

Hopefully they find somebody better than Brooks, that guy has looked awful IMO.

 

Entire league is looking for decent backup QBs. Brooks is probably as good as it gets for forth string cb

I think the spot for the punter who gets cut is reserved for Bradham.

 

I did see a tweet today from someone that said that the Bills might be looking for a tight end, because Lee Smith's injury was far worse than expected.

Because of the suspension to Bradham in the first game, the Bills actually get to keep an extra spot on their roster, 54 instead of 53. There is no need to keep two punters obviously. They both can KO. I guess it's possible they would keep one to punt and one to KO but neither of them are even as good as Hopkins at KO. I think we will try them out for a few days, and then cut one, probably Gay.

Ahh, thanks for the clarification, I was unaware of that. I'd have to agree with you then based on being able to keep 54

If we cut one prior to Sunday and pick someone else up, someone still needs to be cut prior to the next week's game when Bradham comes back.

I still don't know why they signed Gay when Schmidt was also available. I also have no idea why the Bills have two punters, and a guy like Landon Cohen gets cut.

 

I don't get why so many are concerned with the release of a 5th DT. The Bills will not keep two P/KO guys beyond week one when Bradham is back from suspension. My thought is one of them will be released no later than after the Bears game.

Agreed. The 5th DT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER. He wasn't going to be active if he did make the 53 man. Maybe for once we should trust the fact that the coaches know better.

 

He's already spent multiple camps on rosters with Schwartz. He's 28. At this point, he is a known quantity, and that quantity seems to be "Training Camp All-Star"
