Otherwise, he will become appropriately invisible. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ll be noticing him pinning teams inside the 20 regularly. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billieve420 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Biggest issue for me with new Punter is him getting comfortable with Bass on FG attempts. Other than that Just need Martin to be average elsewhere and we are fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't give you numbers, but I did hear that even though he wouldn't take a pay cut from the Broncos, he took less than his old contract to sign with the Bills. This is a sound signing. Martin's leg may not be freaky, but is certainly above average, maybe well above average. He's said to be a capable holder of field goals and extra points, and he's good a directional punts a pins a lot of opponents inside the 20. Most importantly, he's consistent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buf4alo Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Michigan state's punter has been really impressive tonight. Bryce Baringer, #99. If the Bills decide Martin is too expensive to re-sign, then that's a guy to keep an eye on come draft season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEPT 12 can’t get here fast enough! …and no punts in ‘22, per Josh anyway. seriously lol. Im of the mindset: this team rarely punts. We need a punter who is 1. Not a liability when asked to punt and 2. Good for Bass. This guy seems like he covers both. getting into the weeds of whether or not he’s an elite punter is kinda like trying to find blemishes on ScarJo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the stats I read from last year. https://www.nfl.com/stats/team-stats/special-teams/punts/2021/reg/all Bills punt a lot less than the average and have way less returns. The thing with me is having a low number of shanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearNorth Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Martin averaged about 4 net yards per punt more than Haack did last season, wonder how much is due to the thin air in Denver where he played 9 of the 17 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if 1 year contract was Bills decision (veteran minimum) or his (he wants to be available at start of free agency for new multiyear contract)? It may be case where they both had same goal and they could talk about new multiyear contract next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m actually serious I don’t know if that’s his name lol. Yes, he was. And he did a sold job. On the TD and FG in the first half, both snaps were less than perfect (high), he calmly pulled them down and set it in place. He will do more holing this season than punting.
