Brand J Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Haack apparently had a hugely successful debut punting against the Bucs. Colts announcers were gushing over him and saying he needed a nickname. At least for Haack he gets to punt in a dome. He can’t handle the elements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just sign Jordan Berry now. Both have experience punting and holding in poor conditions.

If he works out fine but this gives Buffalo the time to tryout other guys I don’t think I’ve ever seen a serious post from you, truly a unicorn post from you. In my opinion anyway 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A punter like Kern could be a could be a million or 2 more than some other punters cap wise. If Kern is signed as a free agent, Tenn is on the hook for any unamortized signing bonus ($550K), and the Bills can negotiate what they are willing to pay, as can any other team. Doubt anyone will trade for a punter under contract with a $2.2mm salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign the cheapest most experienced punter available. Someone we don’t have to worry about. No experiments.

HamSandwhich Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I think it will either be Einhorn or Finkle. I know unconventional given they are place kickers but I just have a feeling about either one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 9 hours ago, Nelius said: Saw that he made himself very vocally available to the Bills on Twitter and didn't even realize he was out of the league for so long. What was his deal exactly? He was a top punter in the league and then he was a bit of a distraction and was gone? I can't find anything about an injury or drop in performance. Honestly sounds like he was so annoying that it pushed him out of the league. I remember he got a lot of penalties for dumb stuff like taunting and other preventable stuff. I think he had some good kicks, but lacked consistency. Kind of like Bojo. He got popular because of his unique personality and story, not because he was an elite punter. After being cut by the Raiders unexpectedly, the Broncos signed him and he wasn't great. He was placed on IR and then cut. And that's the last we saw of him.

Unfortunate, but this is not a year to have subpar if there is a way to remedy a bad situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we don’t want is a bad punter that has punts blocked and drops a key hold. There isn’t much difference between a great punter and a below average punter. Jordan Berry will be just fine.

If QBs can play into their mid-40s while still having to take hits and occasionally scramble, surely a punter can play to at least Brady’s age.
