Not many nfl punters that I know of never held in college. I’d give him around a 65-70% chance of becoming trustworthy. I've never seen a punter unilaterally decide to run a fake punt. I think Corey B had focusing issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he needs a year to work on some things. He can boot it far but he out kicks coverage units. He needs to fix his get off time, hang time and accuracy. He's kind of Bojo at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would get gobbled up as soon as possible. He either punts in Buffalo this year, or he’ll be a hot commodity for several other teams. If not this year, then never. Why was he the third punter drafted if he's such a hot commodity? There's reasons why he wasn't the first. He doesn't do the things good punters do yet. Yes he has a cannon for a leg but if you out kick the coverage with no hang time you're giving the returner a ton of room to operate. If you take too long to get the ball off chances it gets blocked or shanked goes up. Theres big problems that he needs to fix. There's also the FG holding that he hasn't done until the pros. I think it can be learned but what if he's inconsistent? Haack has been much better than him so far in OTAs. I hope he improves but I don't see him fixing his issues before the season starts and I don't want to go into season with a punter that is a risk to have a lot of kicks returned for big yardage. Tbh I want to cut haack and get someone better. If we weren't super bowl contenders and the AFC wasn't loaded I'd be ok with dealing with his ups and downs but this season is too important.

TPS Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 On 7/18/2022 at 6:55 PM, Rockinon said: I have a feeling the passing game is going to be different this year. The addition of QB coach Joe Brady who is supposedly very good at route concepts is one reason. Then the talk of 2 TE sets. Then the addition of a RB who's specialty is receiving out of the backfield. Then there is a long time coach like Kromer who will have a good deal of input when it comes to designing plays. Everyone is so focused on Ken Dorsey that they forget that the supporting staff will be in Dorsey's ear as well. There are going to be some wrinkles that we haven't seen. It's quite possible Gabe Davis has a break out year, but so could Dawson Knox. Some of the things the coaches come up with outside of what the offense all ready does well, that's just added gravy. There's no way Dorsey is going to just retool the whole offense, but there will be some experimenting. There have been some nice pieces added in the offense as far as players go. It's going to be an interesting year. The offense was ultra productive last year and the goal is to keep moving forward. I think between the new players and coaches, we're going to some good things. Rookies will get there chances, but the Bill's will lean on their bread and butter first. One could say Knox broke out last year, especially considering all of the mouths to feed on that offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about the targets. If he had as many targets as Kelce, he'd have had virtually identical stats in terms of catches and yards.

Your last sentence is my point. It may not be in Buffalo's best interest--as serious contenders--to take a gamble with allowing him to develop. With Haack, at least you know what you're getting. So for the Bills, that may be the safe thing to do. But if they do that, teams in the bottom half of the league who are not serious contenders can take that risk. Let the kid with the cannon for a leg develop, he has time to learn the intricacies. For them there is little risk and high reward. So I stubbornly 🤪 stick by my point, if he is not on the Bills roster in week one, we will be on another team's soon. All the things you say may be correct, but with that kind of raw talent, unless he has an abysmal training camp and pre-season, there is no hiding him on the practice squad.

Kelces route running is on another level. The way he reads the defenses is also on another level. Knox is very good, but he’s not Kelce. Stats are products of usuage, like you suggest, but knox wouldn’t have the same numbers with the same targets. He wouldn’t be open as often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the better question is whether our current punter could be stashed on the practice squad. In case Punt God does not continue to improve during the season. Because obviously Punt God is making the final 53 or else be traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
