Count on this, if Arazia can't learn to hold to a satisfactory degree, they will use another PS player, or he will be gone. You don't mess with the FG game on this team. IMO of course Think about this, as bad as Bojo was at holding, he was always the holder. NEVER the backup QB, for the Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be seeing him multiple times each game holding for PAT's. Laces out please Matt! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 This pick is questionable. Look at the schools he went up against: Hawaii, Air Force? No Big 12 or SEC competition. Not promising. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

without a drought Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Can he become... The Laces Out God ? Will he still be be considered the Punt God if the Bills only punt 20 times ? Stay tuned. Man, I can talk punter all day...and holder, any time, any place. This **** is riveting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtVandalay Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 If this dude gets cut before the start of the year I can't wait to see this place lol... I thought people suggesting a mid round pick for a punter on a team like this were just silly. But end of draft, 6th round, sign me up. Excellent pick. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be shocked if he didn't make the team. But don't expect a QB to be holding for this team. And remember, there are more available punters than Haack and Arazia. Just saying. And the Bills have already ditched a better punter than they kept. One of the reasons was likely his inability to be consistent with his holds. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, this pick was for the training camp crowds. I remember the “ooooooh” and “ahhhh” when Brian Moorman would do punt drills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bunch of people on here have been “disagreeing” with my statements that Araiza is going to have to be a good holder to win the job. I don’t understand what is so controversial about that. As you said, they let Bojo walk for a worse punter/better holder. Then GB just did the same thing with Bojo. I am hoping Araiza is fine as a holder, and this won’t be an issue. But he is going to have to do it, and not mess Bass up, or else he won’t be making the team. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure he’s been working on it, but Haack will need to flat out beat him for Matty Punt to not make this roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is going to have to do it, and not mess Bass up, or else he won’t be making the team. I agree, for the most part. But I won't go so far as to say he'll be cut if he isn't a good holder. For one reason, they kept Bojo for a time despite the fact he wasn't good at holding. And he was inconsistent as a punter. Eventually he was let go. So, perhaps unless he totally sucks, I'm guessing the new Matt gets the job. Both jobs, I should say. But what if he is horrendous at it? I do not expect this. He seems very eager to learn and excel. This is just a little thought exercise. What would they do? I'm thinking, if he really shows his stuff punting this offseason, he's making the team. So maybe they get creative with the holder. I doubt it. But if they do, I highly doubt it will be a QB. And if if he can't figure it out, and isn't killing it with the punting, then what?
