BringBackFergy Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 We all can agree, NFL games are won and lost by field position and points. A bad punt can leave your defense with a short field. A missed 55 yd field goal - no points. This team is ready to win, and winning requires good field position and points. Keep Bass as our long field goal kicker...anything over 50 yards, he comes on the field. Keep Hauschka for the 20-40 yd field goals...he's money. Keep Bojorquez for shorter punts when you need the ball placed inside the 15 yd line or when there's a southeasterly wind at the stadium (to crate a cross wind with his left foot). Keep Edwards for longer punts and drop kicks. He's Australian and they utilize the drop kick a lot in that league. Would be a nice wrinkle for the Bills and can score points.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I can see us keeping 2 kickers but no way 2 punters and there is absolutely no way that they roster 4 kickers and punters total. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 That is too many for ST’s can they afford not having depth at other valued positions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 2 Ks and 2 Punters? Brilliant....do we a snapper for each as well? 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 If Bass even puts up a good battle vs Hauchka he should be the kicker. I would never keep 2 punters. We have a lot of depth now and a few very good young WR prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed 55 yd field goals = Gift to the opposing offense. Bad punt = Gift to opposing offense. If you excel at skill players on ST (by reducing number of depth players at CB or OL for instance) you increase your chances of winning based on the theorum I wrote below: ST Player1, ST Player2, ST Player3, ST Player4 x .50 (50% increase in convertible field position points) - CB4 x OL4 = 33% Increase in Points 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFT Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 That’s a tall order in a Covid year. But you’ve made some strong points Ferg. Still I’d be hard-pressed to carry that into a final roster. At this point, we know what we have in Haush. A big price for a fading leg. I say it’s bass season! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strive_for_five_guy Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 If you keep all four, where do you cut back on the rest of your squad of 53? The Bills are already going to have to make tough calls at DL, WR, QBs. What does your 53 look like if you keep all 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 There's nothing to indicate that our two punters have a different skill set, so why keep both? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Matter_What Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 OP, I had same idea about kickers today but decided not to post it to avoid inevitable flame I think it has some merits if Hauschka looks better / more effective on shorter FGs but does not have a leg to kick 50+, and Bass looks good enough over 50. I can imagine have two punters with different skillsets but I guess thats just too much given roster limitations on game day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Horseheads Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Is Garrison Sanborn available to snap the ball ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEN-CAL17 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 If all 53 could dress out.... it may be something to look into.... but I think only 46 or 47 dress out. That being said, skill positions take priority 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buff76ers Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 So if you keep 2 extra ST players then who gets cut and from what position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Not a chance. Let Bass be the kicker and let Edwards punt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo1105 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I think its possible that they keep Hauschka and Bass but no way. A key thing to remember is if a guy is released now, they can rollover that saved cap into next year when apparently the cap is going to be much lower. This is why I think guys like Murphy, Hauschka, DiMarco are more likely to be cut because their value has dropped in the team's eyes and they save money for next years impending salary cap restructure.

I think the Bills also need a 3rd punter that can throw the ball for fake punts, and a 3rd kicker for extra points to keep the other two kickers fresh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Southeasterly punts? Australian drop kicks? I love this place... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
