BillsFanForever19 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Araiza is essentially a Rookie and hasn't practiced with a team in 2 years. If he's brought back by anyone, it won't be until Training Camp to evaluate him and compete with someone. They're not going to bring him on the field in the Playoffs with a career total of 1 Punt in a Pre-Season game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrivefourfive Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) The Bills surely are in touch with a second punter all year long just in case. Is the falsely accused even on their radar?? I highly doubt it. Edited January 16 by Thrivefourfive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 7 minutes ago, ColoradoBills said: I hope so too. That being said bringing in a punter and maybe putting him on the PS for a week or two could be some insurance. Hamstrings can be tricky. Don't have to have 4 WRs on the PS. Agreed. They need to have someone and watch how Martin does this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holding for Bass for a month or two in Training Camp almost 2 years ago is not going to make them value him over a veteran. He hasn't practiced with any team in almost 2 years and has a career total of 1 Punt in the Pre-Season. If Martin can't go, it'll be a vet coming in. It's the Playoffs.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 If they really wanted they could sign him for punting, but keep Martin active for holding, but means giving up a roster spot someplace else which may be hard to do with all the injuries.

Bob Jones Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 1 hour ago, Bills Fan in MD said: No offense, but this is an absurd suggestion. If the Bills need a punter it's not going to be a guy who has never had punted in a regular season game. Pretty sure punting in D1 college is very similar to punting in the NFL. Take the snap and punt the ball. Not rocket science. LOL 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkKelso'sHelmet Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Martin looked like a complete idiot running down the field (with no intention of making a tackle) carrying his hand warmer. Why are you carrying your hand warmer!?!? I know he's a punter but act like a real football player. I've never seen that before. Non contact hamstring injury? Aren't kickers supposed to be the most stretched out players on the field? They live for leg flexibility Cut this clown (Martin) and bring in a real man to punt.
