I think most punters on this case would have had theirs blocked too. See I think most punters get that kick off..... but the pressure causes them to shank it a bit. The problem with Haack is every protection breakdown is a likely block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring back Bojorquez; I don't know why we got rid of him. The few times we called upon him to punt last year, he was excellent! It’s been explained -since Free Agency as a matter of fact. Pay attention, Son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordong Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 worst punter in the NFL as far as snap to punt... he needs to go already. cost us a game...he will again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Haack scares the crap out of me. I don’t think this will end well if he doesn’t shorten his motion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been cut already. Bring in someone off the street. I’ll sacrifice a few yards to ensure it doesn’t get blocked. He will cost us victories if this continues. He holds the ball very low to the ground when he winds up. Kinda like a pitcher who brings his arms up over his head when delivering a pitch. Fine for baseball not so much for punting. Too much time wasted especially if kicking deep on your side of the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy that came through, he looked like he could have just tackled Haack with the ball….that’s how close he got. The quicker punters would have had at least the ball finger tipped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that stat kept somewhere? Just curious how Haack compares to other punters, because I can't lie, he looks slow as molasses getting the ball off.

The Firebaugh Kid Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 It's because he's an evil double agent, and still on Miamis payroll. In all seriousness, he takes his sweet ass time, and I wish I more like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastport bills Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 He's going to have another punt blocked soon. Let's hope it doesn't cost us another game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I would love to see some timing numbers on Haack compared to other punters. He looks very slow, yet he has 2 blocks in his career and the last one against Pittsburgh was hardly his fault. He seems to look down and stare before he starts his punt.

Greatdane21 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 He does seem to take an inordinate amount of time to get the kick off. If that’s the case Pittsburgh won’t be to only team to get a block on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ray Guy doesn’t count, he was a freak and a Raider ) EDIT: Statistically, Moorman is significantly better! THE BEST! We win? We excel at PUNTING!!!!! WE’RE #1!

zow2 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Haack looks like he has time for coffee and a donut back there. He must be one of those people that does slight of hand tricks...because what I'm seeing does not add up in my brain. It looks like every one of his punts should be blocked.

GoBills808 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Based on Pitt? Sorry but if you let your guy through untouched when the ball is snapped that punt is getting blocked every time. if you ever played special teams you would know blocked punts aren’t the punter’s fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillnutinHouston Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 FWIW, on his Locked On Bills podcast a day or so ago, Joe Marino cited Haack's # of career punts in the NFL to # of punts blocked to refute much of what's been stated in this thread.

TheFunPolice Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I'm back with another punting take! Imagine the Tom Brady of punters... Obsessive. Chip on his shoulder. Super into fitness and gives up pretty much everything else in life to be the NFL's greatest punter of all-time. Big difference is that he's super athletic to start with. He sets a goal: I want to play 30 years in the league. Play until he's 51-52, assuming he enters the league at age 21/22. Someone like that could possibly punt fairly effectively until he's 51-52, right? You almost never get hit, you even more rarely take any type of head shot. Basically it's a life of obsessive fitness and flexibility training where you punt a ball a few times on Sunday afternoons and make a few million bucks a year. You're never really under too much pressure, except for in your own end zone, so you're never winning or losing a game on a punt. Plus, once you hit 40, you'll have all that punting knowledge and experience to draw from. Downside... There's only so much glory a punter can have, but you could play a (small) part in winning a bunch of Super Bowls along the way, especially if you play 30 seasons. As I'm writing I'm realizing 30 seasons sounds insane, but Tom Brady is playing his 21st season right now at a position that takes a lot more punishment than a punter, and he looks better than he did 10 years ago.
