No one loves punters like Bills fans!

 

 

Truth be told, Paul Maguire was one of my favorite Bills of yesteryear. He punted 100 times in 1968 (in just 14 games) compared to Bojo's 41 last year. Kinda tells the story of just how bad the Bills were in '68.  He and Sestak made great pizza too.

His 40 time is an underrated commodity on special teams...I like how we’re thinking outside the box...😉


Those are Moorman numbers! Didn’t BM running something stupid like a 4.45? I think he won NCAA’s for D3 in the 400 hurdles? 
 

Also, our punter is faster than Singletary...

I still remember the day my dad took me to Sestak & Maguire’s! I have no idea if it was good.........but it was AWESOME!

He's the Dolphins all time leader in net punting average 39.9 and also put 7 punts inside the 20 yard line in one game.

I'm shocked that Reggie Roby isn't the all time leader in every punting category for the mammals!

If he takes less than the Bills should have paid him, that’s what I don’t get.  I’m assuming they would have given him at least that.  

 

Well to me it says the Bills weren't interested in paying $2 mil for him and didn't.  And likely are assuming no other team is willing to pay that much either, so maybe they will still sign him.

 

Ashamed tender offer salaries for RFA aren't tied to positions the way franchise tag salaries are.  Hard to believe that RFA QB is worth the same as a punter!

I grew up near Sestak & Maguire's.  We'd go there Friday nights after our basketball games back in the late 60's.  Great pizza indeed.  And has gotten better as the years go by.

Sounds as though Bojo wanted to be paid more than the Bills wanted to pay him, all I can think of.

We could have tendered him.

 

Hard to think of this as not being a downgrade.

Downgrade how exactly...bc of avg yrd per punt, or another metric?

 

Bojo had a good yr, but that was just 1 during his time with us.  Granted he improved greatly this yr, but the inconsistency could have still been a concern and field position.  Bojo rarely pinned punts, it was a coin flip if he'd kick a touchback or a fair catch at the 15.  

 

With the offense that we now have, a specialist pinning the ball deep is much more valuable than a guy who kicks a 60-yr boom every 10th kick.  

 

Bojo bigger leg, Haack will prove much more valuable when those frustrating drives fizzle at midfield.

I was thinking average yds per punt.

All fair points!  I heard they were talking to Bojo....I wonder if he just wanted too much, or if they feel Haack is an upgrade in some regards?

I mentioned in the Parlady thread that the real news with the Dolphins signing him was that Haack was available, and that I preferred him to BOjo, and Parlady. Haack is the real deal and I’m glad we grabbed him. 

 

I hope that the Bills feel the same way and weren't "settling"

Only if his average salary is more than $2 million.

 

Less.  Reported as $1.83M

Hm... I wonder if Bojo was wanting more than we wanted to pay? Not sure I get the point of developing him and being patient with him only to not sign him...

Why let Bojo go?? Hopefully this is just a camp body

Bojo might get paid as a top 5 punter with his avg from last year and ability to boom it.. might want a payday
