My friends and I used to yell "Marv Bateman!" every time one of us shanked a punt playing backyard ball. Expand Haha. Not a good way to be known. Opposite of yelling Kobe when you shoot garbage into the can.
2003Contenders Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 Note that he also had a GREAT punt that pinned the Cardinals down inside the 5 in the 4th quarter that helped flip the field late in the game when we badly needed it.
MJS Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) He certainly needs more consistency. I'm not sure he is worth all the effort to develop him, but we'll see. He does boom them sometimes, but he often out kicks the coverage too, setting up the returner. I'm not super concerned, but I'm still undecided on him. Edited November 17, 2020 by MJS 1

LABILLBACKER Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 It's frustrating with him because he sucks at dropping the ball inside the 20. Worst part of his game. He was bad and at the bottom of the league his first 2 years with the Bills. He has boomed a few this year bringing his avg.way up. But for me the most important job of a punter is ball inside the 20. He has no touch whatsoever. Never been a big bozo fan but if he can keep those laces out for Bass, I'll tolerate him. 2

Expand The one touchback probably should've been downed. He kicked it to the right side - coverage was there - they just couldn't find the ball for whatever reason.

Expand The coverage was faked out by a returner running up to to field a phantom short kick at the 20 while the actual one lands inside the 10 and bounds into the endzone while I am yelling at the gunners to get to the goal line, turn around, and find the ball. They did not hear me. This has happened once in the last two games. Edited November 17, 2020 by JESSEFEFFER

Expand he's not a rook working out the kinks, so I'd give up hope on that. he'll be here the rest of the season and hopefully he doesn't have too many more shanks. off season he will be looking for work elsewhere and it may not even be in the league?
PonyBoy Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 Maybe he was practicing his onside kicks? 🤔😄
Freddie's Dead Posted November 17, 2020 Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) How many punts did Moorman shank in his entire career? Bodork has way too many shanks and bad punts. It's not just a once-in-a-while thing. It always comes at the most critical times in games and ends up costing us games. I'm just shocked that we've been unable to find another punter who could do better. Guessing that Bodork has pictures. Edited November 17, 2020 by Freddie's Dead 1 1

And I wasn't advocating for cutting Bojo over his one bad punt this year.

Also several people have blamed him putting in the end zone but our punt coverage people are not getting down there to down it, he had at least one land at the 5 and then bounce in. Expand I'm gonna have to disagree on this. I saw a punt I think was in Seahawks game where the 2 coverage guys came down and stopped at the 12 yard line expecting it to land there but the football 🏈 landed on the 3 and bounced into the EZ. That's Bojo out kicking his coverage. Happens frequently. He doesn't seem to have much control over how far it goes or where it lands. And as far as all punters shanking some, I don't recall any Brian Moorman shanks.
