Toledo Bill Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Bass is having enough problems… hope replacement punter is an experienced holder which I don’t think the Punt God is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Water Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 2 minutes ago, MrEpsYtown said: I got Pat O’Donnell on the short list, bet used to very cold weather. I would be surprised if Araiza is the move, but I’d be good with it. Haack has proven he isn’t very good in the cold. Probably not the right move in my opinion, but maybe his holding helps Bass. Pat O'Donnell, good option. The thing about Haack is we cut him for Araiza, then we cut Araiza. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if Haack might have some salt about that. On the other hand, I'm not a football player and if a guy is sitting home and gets offered $46.5k for a few days work with a chance of up to another $388k, I can see where that could appeal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 37 minutes ago, Playoffs? said: I saw one angle of the replay and it looked nasty. And the look on his face, and the way he rode out of the stadium… just didn’t seem good. So glad it’s not catastrophic. I remember earlier in the year, Bernard was rolling around in pain after a leg injury bad enough that it looked like his season was over, then he came back into the game a few series later. Maybe he just has a low pain tolerance when an injury first occurs, and Monday was an example of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's as simple as he's never taken a snap in the NFL, never punted or held in a game. It's a huge risk to bring someone like that in such an important game. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is likely not making the NFL minimum in his current gig. He competed and they cut him. I think he would be excited to come back. The Bills move the ball a lot. So many punts have to be managed inside the 20. Something Martin has been very good at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were already questions about his ability to hold due to inexperience. It's a recipe for disaster in the Divisional Round of the AFC Playoffs against the Kansas City Chiefs, for crying out loud! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick_Cheney Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Did they already hold the Punt, Pass, and Kick contest this year? Give the winners a look Beane! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
since79 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Was at game, never saw Bernard’s injury. May have avoided a worse injury. Leg got whipped into rolling under, not a landing or planting of foot to take full body weight on impact. Ugly as it looked a planted foot would have done more damage. Hope for the best.

I guess it depends on what he is doing now and if he kept in kicking shape. 4 minutes ago, Dick_Cheney said: Did they already hold the Punt, Pass, and Kick contest this year? Give the winners a look Beane! They need to change it to Punt, Pass, Kick and Hold contest; long snappers get no respect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whorlnut Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 There is no way the bills are going to trust a guy that hasn’t punted in a real game since 2021 for a playoff run. Not only that, but he was still learning to hold during camp as a rookie. If anything, we will go after Matt Haack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Been busy with work all day. I skimmed a few pages but didn’t see anything concrete. Except Bernard’s X-rays negative (could be a two week injury) and Spector has a back injury that is basically just pain management also seems like Douglas and Dodson have decent chances of playing. Any someone post any updates on Taron, Benford and McGovern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
