Bills2022 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Pretty much anyone will do. There is a greater supply of solid NFL punters than there are spots. My guess is 50 guys can punt adequately in the NFL and there are only 32 spots. It is the exact opposite of the QB position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 The use of past tense in "hosted" instead of "are hosting" is interesting. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but to me it implies he left without a contract. Wonder if Kern is just playing hardball in negotiations and they're still keeping their options open. Because it would appear to me that if Kern is out, Martin is a no-brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Wait him out. The closer to the season the lower his price will go. In the meantime, have Keenum work with Bass 24/7 on holding if need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, he is a local boy who should dream about playing for his home town team who is a legit Super Bowl favorite, right? Sounds like Martin should be good though. And he’s a few years younger.

First prerequisite to being a Buffalo Bill right now: you better want to be a Buffalo Bill right now! He don't want us, let him sit on his sofa. I think Martin may be a better choice anyway - 4 years younger, had a better average punt last season. Said to be very consistent, which is what I want to see because Haack was like a box of chocolates, you never knew when you'd get a nut.

The Frankish Reich Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I probably saw all but one or two Broncos games the last couple years. And here's the thing: I don't remember anything special about Sam Martin's punting. And when you're talking about a punter, that's a good thing. Boring, reliable, adequate - we didn't wind up with a punt god, but we did wind up with something a little better than Matt Haack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
