Back2Buff Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Funny how Jets punter had the same issues in 1st and 4th quarter that Haack had in 2nd and 3rd. Edited January 10, 2022 by Back2Buff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets punter dropped a snap, too? Passers and punters have struggled throwing and kicking into that wind since the stadium was built. That said, Haack is just not a very good punter.

Passers and punters have struggled throwing and kicking into that wind since the stadium was built. That said, Haack is just not a very good punter. He got a punt blocked because he took too long dealing with the wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have still caught it, but something looked off with that snap, I thought we were gonna get a false start the way the line moved on that snap. Something was botched there.

We have 2 extra call ups for the playoffs and said it would be an interesting idea to bring in the punter they signed to the practice squad (forget his name).

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 3 hours ago, BillsDiehard said: The Bills obviously acknowledge we have a punter issue as we're carrying one for 3 weeks on our practice squad. I don't think any other team is carrying a second punter...very odd. 'Backdooring' him for the International Player Position, after Christian Wade rightfully takes his place in the 2022 season as #1 RB. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took the cheap way out, which is understandable…..but we now also have a terrible punter. If we want to cut him, we’ll pay 700k dead cap next season. Bojo played this year for 1M. Hacks dead cap is almost al much as Bojos contract. Edited January 10, 2022 by NewEra 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacks dead cap is almost al much as Bojos contract. Bojo is a terrible holder...and believe me, that will matter at some point for GB in the playoffs too. Complain about Haack all you want (I agree he sucks) but the decision to let Bojo go wasn't just about the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) I was at the game. Both punters against the wind had problems against the wind. As soon as the ball got up there, it died. When they punted with the wind, they were good .If they had a god punt against the wind, it was because the wind luckily died just before the snap.

It’s a skill that can improved upon. Practice, practice. More practice. But I do get why some wouldn’t want him because of that….it makes sense. signing haack never made sense to me. Especially on a 3 year deal that included dead cap of almost 1M if he sucked, like we thought he might. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestojan Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The punter should be like a baseball umpire. You’ve done your job well if no one notices you were there. Unfortunately, Mr holds-the-ball-forever-while-overthinking-the-wind-factor-from-hand-to-foot was extremely noticeable yesterday and one could argue is the reason we lost to the Steelers. Absolutely no excuse for his performance. But he has the team by the balls since changing Bass’ holder at this point seems dangerous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I especially liked how he adjusted to shanking his first one, he got a second chance and did it again...and for good measure did it again. If there is somebody more reliable out there we need them now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His HOFer was: ”That’s gone the way of the d i l d o! “ 😂 We waited for it. Anyway, I used it on another Sports site. The Owner, clutching his no humour pearls, told me: “DON’T SAY THAT!” Of course... I had to ask him... what ‘THAT’? 😂😜 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
