Guess you don't want to win.

Doc has been a Bills fan so long he doesn't even know what WIN means or what it looks like.  He has seen so many Bill's losses over the years it's imprinted in his brain and now it's even in-bedded in his DNA.

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.

No, I don't think so it would take up too many roster spots.  You need to save some for other positions.

And you are...?

 

No, I've seen many wins the past 3 seasons.  Keeping 4 kicker/punters is silly and I'm assuming (hoping) was the OP being funny.  No one is keeping even 2 kickers anymore.

 

Speaking of kicking, the Cheaters just signed Nick Folk.  Apparently the Nazi kicker they drafted (almost a full round earlier than Bass) has sucked.

Well the extra kickers already play special teams so so they don't need to learn to be taught the intricacies of coverage, hence better 

So you're counting on kickers to run down and make tackles?

lol

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.

 

Thoughts?

 

 

Dick Jauron called, and wants you to stop ripping off his strategy for heroic marches to 7-9. 

 

"In his 16 years in the NFL, Buffalo Bills special teams coach Bobby April has never experienced fans taking so much interest in a punt drill"

Hey, Special Teams may not be the sexiest gal in the bar...but she's nice, unique, can put you in good position and knows how to score.

 

I suggest y'all take another look at the special teams kickers before settling for countless backups who never see the field.

You are a true renaissance man Fergie! :beer:

If Bass wins no need for Hauschka... Simple as that.

I guess that onside kick vs the Dolphins last year was something any other player can do? I don't mean to belabor the point, but Micah Hyde's ability to jump up and grab that ball and run in for a score was a perfectly choreographed play that started from the magical foot of Hauschka. There's 6 points off the board if you cut Hauschka.

 

Not to mention, Edwards adding more points on fake punts with a drop kick or two.

 

And Bojo securing perfect field position on many punts. It's called directional punting, and when you can back an offense into their own 5 yard line, you allow your defense to thrive.

 

Yeah, let's cut our best directional, left footed punter and our solid FG/onside kicker because you want an extra CB or safety. When's the last time a CB contributed to points?

Don’t tell 95% of the posters here that. They’ll banish your ass. 

 

I don't think even 5% of people said not to bring him in.  But there must be a reason no one wants this guy.

If you need a solid onside kicker, there's a problem with the Offense.  Or the Defense.

 

I know Ferg posted this as a goof, but is Bass no good at short and medium FGs?

Bass/Edwards: Heavy Metal Rock

Hauschka/Bojo: Classical 

 

Some days you need precision

Some days you need to just let it all out. 
 

Best to leave all options open on game day.
