So when do the Bills resign Nathan Peterman so they can cut him again? This GM is clueless.  All he is saying is he resigned a guy and then that guy wasn't good enough. That says more about the GM than the punter.

 

 

Nope - it says with the injury - go get the guy you are familiar with and you know can handle it, but continue to look to get better.  

 

This happens all the time to replacement level guys ask CJ Spiller a couple of years ago - he was signed and cut in KC like 8 times in one season, but they seem ok.

 

The response says more about you than the signing says about the GM.  He is trying to improve the roster.

I really don't understand this.

 

He had a few bad punts, but he also had a few good ones, and he is a competent holder for Hauschka.  The Bills could do better, but they could also do a lot worse, and I don't know that making a change in week 13 makes any sense.  Buffalo isn't exactly friendly to punters in November and December.

 

I'd rather they focus their energy on improving the return coverage units as opposed to the specialist.

The Bills seem to have a habit of cutting kickers in the middle of the year out of nowhere.  I remember years back Moorman got cut like that.  Dallas picked him up but I think he did venture back here to Buffalo.

 

The Schmidt doesn’t really make sense imo 

I feel for the guy - he put some good stretches together in seasons past. There was a dropoff this year though. Even in camp local media were reporting some worrying things about his punting.

There are 6 games left and the Bills are getting rid of a punter who had 7 punts and an average punt of 44.9 yards this past weekend?  Those are not great stats, but changing a punter now is ridiculous.  This accomplishes what exactly? 

 

If this is about some Edge to get on the Dolphins this weekend that is pretty pathetic.  Guys are going to begin wondering if this GM and Coach have any idea what they are doing.

 

Maybe they think he’s a better punter?   DARRRRRRRR

Schmidt is inconsistent,punts are low hang time not good  either one of the two guys on IR would have won the job out of camp.

 

Of course you have all this insight after the move was made
