Success Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Pinning a team deep in their territory is just as important as being able to boom punts - and this guy has done both. Who knows. This all might have worked out for the best. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChasBB Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Nice to see Bills rewarded for doing the right thing in regards to MA to go on to obtain the 3rd highest-ranked punter in the NFL (even if it was in the Denver air). It seems they could have done worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Punted well in Denver.... but so could a melting snowman. One of the better options of what was available for sure. How is his holding? 😄 Who have we released / IR'd to make space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like it's a personal insult. I know it's just business so I know I should man-up and accept it. But I'm not there yet. Anyone else feel the same? My former roommate went to school with him. Said he was a real richard and was one of those kids that felt cool to cheer for teams like Dallas Pittsburgh and NE depending on who was winning. Take it with a grain of salt but I'm glad we signed not him, and the guy has better stats. Theyre punters. Good grief I'd be cool if he punted for us 10years and never learned his name 😆..... its time to argue about 6th string WRs!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Kern say no to us, or did the Bills not really pursue? Talking to a player doesn’t mean real interest, just putting out feelers maybe? Is Kern the better of the two? Martin is a very good punter, stats wise an improvement over Haack. Could really care less if Kern really did “spurn” us. After the problems at punter this past week, the Bills ended up better than could have hoped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were probably targeting him once he became available but wanted to have Kern try out like the other 4 punters and Kern wanted assurances he had the job.

Also possible/likely is that Kern's agent told the Bills what his "Yes number" was and the Bills weren't willing to meet it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dat Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Younger, used to punting in the cold, and will be juiced up on all that rich oxygen. I'll reserve judgement until I see his RAS score and thigh measurements though. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't looked at it to tell you the truth. And Denver have been such a dull watch in recent years.... I do think of what is out there he is a solid choice. According to PFR his career home average is 46.91 and on the road it's 45.29. So about a yard and a half better at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
