White Linen Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 We're not going to be punting. It'll be kickoffs only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) For what it's worth, Madden 19 says King's Kick Power (KPW) is 97 and his Kick Accuracy (KAC) is 91. Darr is 91/79. Bojorquez is 94/77. Our punters are 2 of the worst in the NFL. I know it's not QB, but we definitely need an upgrade. What is meant by "flambouyant" anyways? Do we really care when he's such a huge upgrade? Edited April 8, 2019 by GreggTX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 This doesn’t matter. Did you see the OL and WR crowd we added? I doubt we’ll punt all year. ?

MrEpsYtown Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 2 hours ago, Logic said: 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. My only problem with Wishnowsky is he is already 27 years old. It's not a big deal, but it means something. I actually like Jack Fox a lot. He was really impressive in ten East-West game and he was probably the best player on his team. But you make a good point, with 10 draft picks it would make some sense to draft one this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punters have had long careers long before the days of other positions playing well into their 30’s. Edited April 9, 2019 by SirAndrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 3 hours ago, SirAndrew said: 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. Darr wasn't too good, but Schmidt was much worse last year. King kinda sucked... http://proxy.espn.com/nfl/statistics/player?stat=punting&sort=puntsInside20&year=2017 Decent net avg in 2017, but stats indicating placement are poor. Even worse 2018, but he got injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if I’d say that Schmidt was much worse. They were equally bad according to the stats. Schmidt had 16 punts for an average of 42.8, a net or 33.8, and 4 kicks inside the twenty. Darr punted 20 times for an average of 40.5, a net of 36.3, and 5 kicks inside the twenty. Darr left the worst impression on me because he was the only guy I saw in live action last season. In person his kicks looked like something you’d see at the high school level. Regardless, I’m sure we are definitely in agreement that the position needs to be upgraded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSHMEAB Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Colton Schmidt has FAR too many shanks. So many that it's not even a surprise when he BANGS a 20 yarder. He cannot be the answer. I don't care if it's Carter, Bojorquez, Wishnowsky, or Joe Blow. I'm in the ABC camp(anyone but Colton.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not unreasonable to think that he'll be good for a decade. A decade of quality punting is worth a 7th, in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamkrgr Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 We can definitely use an upgrade. King of healthy is surely that. I don't care for the antics but I'm sure i would love him when he's pinning the other team at the 5 yard line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) We should try to talk Shane Lechler out of retirement.

billsfan89 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Just didn't seem like a process guy in all honesty. If he was one of the top punters in the league and the Bills just didn't have any other options I think they could entertain it. But he hasn't been that good the past couple of seasons. Hopefully via the draft they can draft a punter in round 7 and hit on a good one or scour the vet market as guys get cut in camp. Punters much like Kickers are harder to find than they seem. Vets go from top 5 in the game to cut in the matter of a season or two. Edited April 9, 2019 by billsfan89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is no better than the other 2 guys we already have rostered, he's 30, and he would cost more than carter/bojorquez combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
