******* Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Several teams, including the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills, have expressed interest in signing veteran free agent punter Marquette King, per source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirAndrew Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) It’s only a matter of time before half the board has a meltdown over King being “too flamboyant” to sign. Admittedly, some of his antics are somewhat humorous to see from a punter, but he is the type of veteran we could use at that position. The stage seems a little too big for Boroquez. At least you know King is confident, and not as likely to fold under pressure. Also, Darr is the worst punter I’ve ever seen at the pro level. I didn’t realize how awful he truly was until I attended a late season game. It was truly shocking to see how terrible he was in person.

I think he could improve with more reps at New Era Field. It may have been a matter of not knowing how to properly deal with the wind patterns of that stadium. I still think he’s better than Darr and Bojangles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 The Bills should draft Mitch Wishnowsky in the 7th round or add him as a UDFA. He would beat out Bojorquez and Carter, methinks. Boomer of a leg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to keep looking at the position. Yeah, punting is just too much of an adventure with Bojo. It always felt like something bad was about to happen when Bojo was on the field. His big leg is definitely all he has going for him. Unfortunately, last season he was like a home run hitter who wasn’t hitting home runs. More often than not he drops the snap, shanks the punt, but rarely did we see a long punt that showcased his big leg. If he can’t do that, he doesn’t have anything going for him.
