Not sayin they sign Cam, but he's an ex Panther that just spent the off-season reading NEs playbook.  

their is no way they carry 3 QBs on the roster so i doubt they sign cam

A strong ST unit translates into good field position which translates into more trips to the red zone. We certainly benefitted from that last season. At least on paper, it doesn't look like we're going to start on ST as strong as last season, even with Jones. It's easy for fans to undervalue special teams, but it's a lot more than just kicking into the end zone.

 

70% of Bass Kickoffs were touchbacks last season.  It could be even higher this year.

One of Haack's pluses is his hang time which is directly proportionate to more fair catches.

Fans are not undervaluing STs it's just a fact in todays NFL and looking like a planned scheme by our Bills.

 

It's the Bills potent offense that will give them field advantage this year (just like last year).

Watch Beane flip Carolina's 6th for Njoku - he makes $6 million this year and is a FA next year.   Much cheaper than what they would have to give up for Ertz and his $12.7 million this season.   

 

 

Ertz would only cost us his salary, $8.5M. Njoku $6.013M, as you said.

 

IMO both of those are too expensive this year, though they could jigger things around to fit one.

No need for Cam Lewis when we have OJ Wildgoose.

 

I've never wanted a player to succeed as much I want Wildgoose to...there's just too much potential there

Are you suggesting that ST did not contribute to decent field position last season, or that it will not be a factor in field position this season? I would certainly disagree with that.

I hate to do this but based upon where they are at...

 

Offense next round of cuts - Hodges, Devey, Hart, Webb, Fromm - brings them to 25 plus Wade

Defense next round of cuts - Bryant, Hester, Butler, Love, Lee, Dodson, Giles-Harris,  McCloud, Griffin - once again 25 - Harrison goes to the IR and Butler resigned

 

Ooof - as Ron Burgundy once said "this is hard"

Agree - I don't understand why so many associate not wanting to waste a spot on a single gunner who contributes nothing else to the team to saying that ST are not important.  These are the reasons to me why the team does not fall apart if Jones is not on it

 

- Bass kickoffs into endzone = less kickoff returns

- Bills punted least in the NFL last year - an average of 2.6 times/game - this could even be less this year with better offense

- Haack is excellent in punts downed inside the 20 (114 of 307 kicks in career - 37%!) = even less punt returns to cover

- Taiwan Jones does not make every tackle on STs - other players make coverage tackles too!

- Bills emphasize acquiring/drafting/developing/coaching players with ST ability - a well coached ST unit (stay in your lanes!) with many talented ST players should be able to cover (the handful of) kicks effectively regardless of whether Taiwan Jones is on the field

In today’s game there really isn’t much need for a player who only plays ST. As stated only a couple punts/kickoffs per game actually get returned. If they think Jones can contribute on offense then he makes sense, but since he didn’t play a single down of offense in the preseason I suspect the team isn’t looking at him for any offense.
