Guys that can get through to the quarterback fairly consistently are worth a lot in today's game. Expand 5 sacks in 3 years.

Expand You know what makes less sense keeping a punter all of preseason and never letting him punt.

I’m not going to take the time to re-watch the preseason tape but it strikes me that he was getting open a lot but sometimes struggled with tracking the ball or making “natural” catches. They must believe he is coachable and will improve with experience. The athletic tools are obvious. I’m glad they took a chance with a guy like this over someone like Streater. Expand It may just be that Foster knows that Daboll likes his coffee with whiskey added and does it without even saying it. Sometimes coaches keep players because they are familiar with them.

Expand Right but if he wasn't good enough to let him take a shot during preseason games why would you keep him so long and not open up a spot to try someone else? 1

Expand I'm not arguing against that. It's obviously a terrible idea. What I'm saying is that a team that has never seen the guy kick in an NFL stadium, after watching him get held out of 4 PRESEASON games, is thinking way , way outside of the box to think that picking him up to replace two proven, yet under-performing, veterans is the the right move. These are both ridiculous concepts.

Other teams that may have seen or scouted him in the past probably knew he could kick and swiped him before he could get into the PS in NE. Either that or the Bolls front office is actually run by Chimps and decided to pick up a Punter that they didnt get to scout play in a Preseason game......

Expand Exactly they knew he could punt so why show it to other teams. Stash him for a year cheap and maybe replaces their starter
noacls Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 It's a punter who cares. More worried about O and D line.
