nucci Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Roman wants guys who can block. This team is still going to be run heavy, with the ever present threat of Sammy. Hope this guy makes the team. I'm sure Tyrod and he have a rapport that can be nothing but good for the offense and locker room. How? Didn't they play together a long time ago?

YoloinOhio Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 So he'll have that in common with Sammy! They'd hit it off. (For big stretches, anyway...) yeah, not often you get a Rookie WR with a 1st rd grade who isn't used to being "the guy" and want a ton of targets. Just not the offense he was win. But if it was thrown to him, he caught it. And usually embarrassed the cb before and after on his route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewgetz Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Is carpenter as good as gone?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Nails Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Is carpenter as good as gone?.... I don't think he is. While he missed 6 PATS, his FG percentage was similar to years past and middle of the pack in the NFL. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he were back in camp with some competition.

Fixxxer Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Is carpenter as good as gone?.... Had he been a FA I don't think he would be brought back, he will be the guy next year, but Rex will bring competition and he should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Is carpenter as good as gone?....i don't think they will use a draft pick on a kicker but they could sign a UDFA or a guy cut from another team to bring in for competition.

Drewgetz Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Had he been a FA I don't think he would be brought back, he will be the guy next year, but Rex will bring competition and he should. I have the feeling Rex was not a fan from the beginning. (personally I am/was a fan of him) I do think Rex will bring someone else in in FA or even draft someone. I know kickers aren't drafted much but I want to think NE drafted one early recently. Chances that with Buffalo are slim considering our needs but still... I wonder if his confidence was affecting him and if he can fix it in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We drafted a very good kicker but timing and injuries weren't on our side. Dustin Hopkins missed only one XP (40/39) and he was 25 out of 28 on field goals with the Redskins.

Punching Bag Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 What is Chris Hogan doing right now? I suggested that for Tyler in another thread I don't think he is. While he missed 6 PATS, his FG percentage was similar to years past and middle of the pack in the NFL. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he were back in camp with some competition. Some of the the issue is the holder on PAs. The hold on a number of extra points was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Colton ? yes Colron has been the one who has been holding the kicks most of the time (maybe all, not see stats) on point afters and on several laces were wrong several times this year. Carpenter is one of the best FG kickers in league but his short kicking game is not as good as the long game; not sure why, maybe it is his kicking style but there were several bad holds on PAs this year/ Carpenter has record for longest FG in season (sometimes tied) twice so he is an important weapon even if Bills need to take a delay of game penality to move ball back a bit to give him a better shot. 2014 58 Dan Carpenter Buffalo Bills at Detroit Lions (Oct. 5) 2010 60 Dan Carpenter, Miami Dolphins vs. Cleveland Browns (Dec. 5) Edited January 7, 2016 by Koolaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And someone mentioned a surprise cut might be Sanborn. I wonder if that is affecting the getting the ball down and placed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hopefully we can pick up a guy that can handle both kickoffs and FGs, free up another spot on our team for when the injuries hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 if one year ago today, you asked me who the bills RBs were, I wouldn't have guessed any of them. If you told me that they were the number one rushing attack in the NFL, I wouldn't believe you. If you told me that, I would have guessed at least ONE of them would have been Freddy. McCoy, Karlos and Gillislee might be the best RB crew in the game I'm very pleased with all of these extensions. Gillislee has shown us how good he is. I would like to also like to see Cierre Wood get another chance. Let him and Gillislee battle it out in training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
