Why the Bills changed punters


Dan Darragh

Recommended Posts

This is a brilliant move by the Bills.  With the critical interconference game against the Bears coming up, Chicago's coaching staff has been looking at film of left-footed punters in preparation for the game, and suddenly we switch up on them.  They may need to go with a left-handed return man (to get the lefty-righty advantage).  The question is whether our long snapper can make the adjustment on a short week.

We're really playing 4D chess while everyone else is playing checkers.

McDermott & Co. next-leveling the s*** out of these coaches!

Last week it was WC & flea flickers, this week it's left footed punters. Maybe next week we'll put Shady out at Center, snapping to Ivory.

I think the last punter any team playing the Bills had to game plan for was Moorman ;)

 

I hope that having the punter as our best player never happens to this franchise again  :(

Yup.  Now the Bills have Chicago just where they want them.  Switching punters has rendered all their game planning unless.  I can envision the scene at the Bears facility where all the coaches are silently sitting around the table, searching for answers, sweat pouring off their faces, and then somebody yells out at the head coach (just like Rocky's wife in the movie) "You can't win"!

The Bills D has the best chance of scoring a TD.  Punt as much as possible in order to get them back on the field.  They really should have kept both punters to keep them fresh...

I heard that Peterman has been practicing the art of the elusive drop kick in the barn this week.  Shhh!  Don't share.  This could be huge for us.

A couple of weeks ago I saw a "What's the Scoop" segment with Bojorquez and he clearly stated that he gets cold really easily. That's the real reason he has been replaced.

 

And then the Bills decided to put him on ice for the rest of the season...

The Bills ended up doing what NE wanted to do with Bojorquez : Take a punter who isn't NFL ready & give him a year to be coached up to where he can be a consistent NFL punter.  It's obvious he's too inconsistent right now but has a lot of potential.  NE wanted him redshirt him on the practice squad.  We're now redshirting him the rest of the season on IR.
