He was shanking them left and right- the one that rolled down around the 5 must have rolled 30 yards of an awful punt. He has been really bad.

WhoTom Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I heard he once punted one into the crowd. Everyone talks about the time the Schmidt hit the fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochesterfan Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 2 hours ago, LTF said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullim4 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Fan Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in camp local media were reporting some worrying things about his punting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillies Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I guess every potential yard matters, but seems like a Saber metrics move to me. Is it really worth it? Not really considering the next guy could be a dud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring it Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 6 hours ago, Mark80 said: Agree. I saw it too and commented during the game how much better I thought Bojorquez was. Schmidt just has no hang time on his long punts, they don't ever have to fair catch when he lets them go and we always seem to be giving up decent returns. Sure, it looks like he has a good average, but when you take into account the return, it sucks. Yeah he is good at placing short punts but it’s the lack of hang time on his long ones that are hurting the coverage!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideNine Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Dunno how I feel about this...Colton was not great, but a known commodity. They signed Matt Darr who's gross stats are marginally better than Colton's, but he did not make the Dolphin squad and has been out of it for a while. You have to assume he has a bit more hang time and is a stop-gap measure till they get Bojorquez back. Not many games left and they may just be looking for a spark for ST.

GreggTX Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Schmidt was certainly not one of the better punters in the NFL and I understand the need to try to upgrade the position, but I can't help feeling for the guy. That said, I'm not sure Darr is an upgrade. I thought we might draft a punter in the 6th or 7th round last year, but maybe there wasn't anyone they liked well enough.

It’s either this (sign cut punters from upcoming competition for the playbook) or Colton has pics of McDermott with a goat.. I’m not sure this yo-yo crap with Schmidt is because he’s terrible. It doesn’t make ANY sense to keep bringing him back if this is so. Anyway, far more important -and I didn’t notice Sunday, was he holding for XPTs & FGs? He had been doing that prior to changing his NY Unemployment status 4x and we have the very best PK in the League.

BillnutinHouston Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 This thread seems to be filled with people who don't actually go to games. If you watch Schmidt's punts live, you can see that he's lost power and rarely hits spirals. This isn't surprising at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rochesterfan Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) 6 hours ago, Buffalo Barbarian said: What the Hell ?? Did Schmidt bang McD 's daughter. This is just disgusting and unnecessary - I do not understand why this fan base thinks this way. A below average punter that they tried to replace in training camp, but his competition was injured. They did replace him prior to game 1 with a better kicker, but he gets hurt. Now they try to replace him again - what is not to understand - they do not feel he is good enough and is not doing his job. Why is it always something about sex that someone loses their job or this guy must have a sex tape of the coach or else they would replace/cut him. Why can it not be that the coaching staff and the GM actually evaluate these players after every game with the knowledge of what they told them to do and decide when they want to make replacements. They knew Teller was the future at guard, but did not think he was ready early in the season - must be Ducasse has something on McDermott. They knew the WRs needed upgrading, but were working with the raw talents of a guy like Foster, they knew the punter needed upgrading (we are on punter number 3) - must be the starter did something to the coaches daughter. WHY? Just terrible - they are churning the bottom 1/4 of the roster like a middling team should looking to get better and perhaps find guys to compete in the future. The worst part of this entire quote is the age of McDermotts daughter - it is just so inappropriate.
