We’ve claimed P Corey Bojorquez and CB Ryan Lewis off waivers and released P Colton Schmidt.

There is a reason why he didn't punt all pre season.  The Pats were trying to stash him.

 

They wouldn't even let him punt warm ups on the main field vs. Eagles since the Eagles were looking at adding a punter.  

 

Sounds like a Belichick thing to do. 

 

Bills saw threw it and moved in.  Props to Beane and his staff.

He smoked a punt 83 yards in the air at his pro day. Bills must’ve had some advanced scouting on this fella.

Colton and Corey ... the punters even have punter names.

[Doc Brown]

47.3 yards per punt last year in New Mexico.  Corey Schmidt was at 44.7 ypp.  I don't like using college stats to project an NFL player's performance, but that's all you can really go off of at this point.

His stat line from last year with the New Mexico Lobos looks pretty good.

Boettger had some good moments in the preseason.    Surprised someone is putting him on an active roster but that dude has some potential.

[ocemur]

Belichik has a fetish for left footed punters. The ball spins the opposite way and can mess with returners. I wonder if this guy is a lefty.

He is indeed

Super Bowl.

Schmidt definitely had some issues this preseason. Hopefully the new kid turns out to be good. If not, I'm sure we'll cut him and try another guy.

I wondered this as well. Every little detail....

[jimmy10]

Love it. Beane’s college scout team did their homework and the pro scouts took note of the Pats attempt to stash him. 

 

Love the lefty angle too. Makes sense the rotation would mess with returners. 

[Buffalo716]

Yes he is a left footed punter 

[K-9]

Lewis has some athletic tools to work with for sure. His issue is inexperience. I hope a year of learning in Bellyache’s system helped. Intrigued by this signing.

[Rock'em Sock'em]

Big leg and a new holder for Hauschka, I presume.  I wonder if that will have any negative impacts.

[Doc]

Was hoping they picked-up Matt Wile instead.

I'm pretty stunned we are going  with a guy with no nfl experience

A common pats punting trait... 

 

theory is the ball spins different causing errors fielding it  

[brianthomas]

With our interior o-line having issues, it still sucks a bit to lose Ike Boettger  to the Chiefs. I know our staff knows more about him than we do but i'd like to see more depth added & not see these guys go.

The punter & cb look promising however!
