BarleyNY Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 30 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I mean, I'm sure it can be done, but in the case of a punt, it impacts the OTHER team's field position the most - rendering the connection to expected points ADDED per punt of necessity, indirect. It will be filtered through the team's defense and the other team's ST. Unless, of course, there's a blocked punt returned for a score, in which case the connection is direct and immediate. Not so? I believe that defensive EPA is calculated as having a negative impact on an opponent’s score and, thus, a positive impact on EPA for their team. Punters would fall into that category.

Donuts and Doritos Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Hack ranked 35th in average punt yards last season (see link below). He was 35th out of 32 starting punters. That's not a starter. But by paying him anything it's now possible he could become the starter next year. https://www.nfl.com/stats/player-stats/category/punts/2021/post/all/puntingaverageyards/desc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 A below average punter but a fantastic kick holder. I don't think they spend draft capital on a punter although I could be wrong. I think they will live with his punting (which regressed last year, maybe they expect some positive regression as in Miami he was average to above average at punting) since he is such a good holder.

Unless he has the camp of his life I would expect him to be replaced by whoever his competition is. Keep him around to give the new rookie some tips on holding.

Doc Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 So, made it easier to cut and doesn't preclude getting a new punter. Great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Buffalo Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 The guy is a great holder for kicks, which is more important that a few extra yards on punts for us. Secondly Haack will hopefully only be on the field 30 times this coming year. Lastly this past year was his worst year because of about 6 terrible plays, I believe/hope he will work that out.

Punching Bag Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Haack has played better including playing in Buffalo before. Not sure what caused his issues last year. Bills need to bring in an assistant ST coach who has experience in kicking, especially in Buffalo, into camp. I wonder if Moorman would like a job?

John from Riverside Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 At that salary he could very well be a cut in camp to a drafted punter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norcalbillsfan Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 There's no way they think he's the guy. He's legitimately the worst in the nfl and had arguably one of the worst single games in nfl history, and we are restructuring..... are we paying him 1 mill to just hold? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
