Really, Houston was 31st against the run last year, and the Colts have a guy named Jonathan Taylor. Jerry Hughes is aging and his forte was never stopping off tackle runs.

Brady's wife is worth more than he is. I think you will seem them involved in an ownership situation down the road.

Daryle Lamonica, the Mad Bomber was the Bills punter as a rookie in 1963, 52 punts that year. Replaced by Maguire

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.

We play the Titans in Buffalo on 9/19 MNF. Food for thought.

I know Taiwan when he came into the league had a gaudy 4.33 40 time. Blackshear ran a 4.51. Taiwan also has 500k guaranteed, so they won't save any money this year going with the cheaper rookie.

Stonehouse if released, will never clear waivers long enough to get to the Bills waiver claiming position (25th).

His game salary for home games is not taxed in Tennessee, it would be in NY. I'm sure his agent will be mentioning that.

Re Kern: Tennessee does not have a state income tax, NY does. So that will factor into his decision.

Kern as a vested veteran will not be subject to waivers, and can sign with whoever he chooses. Hometown boy with a shot at a ring. Kern's dad was a standout soccer goalkeeper at Buffalo State where he played on the same team as Randy Smith.

I see on the Bills site depth chart, that they have Rousseau and Von as starters at Edge. I thought that they were both better at rushing from the left side across from the RT.

Hofrichter punted for Syracuse, half his games were in a dome, doubt the winds of November are his strong suit. considering 6 of our home games are from Halloween eve on...

Kern is actually outperforming the rookie punter Stonehouse in TEN, If the Titans release Kern in a cap move, Bills should sign him, vet presence would steady the current noise.

Here are the preseason stats for the second best punter on the teams that have had for more than one.

I'm old, but I remember when Daryle Lamonica in 1963 was the Bills regular punter 52 punts, 40 yard average, replaced by Paul Maguire the next season.

Blackshear can inflict punishment

PFR says Dawkins was targeted once in 2021.

Haven't we lined up Dawkins as an eligible in heavy sets?

2021 Special Teams Snaps [434 total per PFF] Matakevich 347 Gilliam 315 T. Jones 306 Neal 287 Dodson 277 J. Johnson 271 Kumerow 264 Andre Smith [Susp] 260 Epenesa 144 Poyer 131 Hamlin 125 Jackson 107 A.J. Klein 161[Released] ?Will they still risk Poyer on teams going into the season nicked up? Only core teams player not returning to date is Klein, [Smith Susp] Teams are 16% of the total plays, Offense, Defense, ST's. 48 game day actives - suggests you can have 7-8 core special teamers who in most cases would backup other positions. Food for thought.

Suspect kickoff coverage team will be getting extra work this week.

if the hang time was 4.23 and he got the punt off in 2.1, then the total time for the gunner to get downfield is 6.33. Assume the gunner runs a 4.4 40 and 20 mph thereafter (typical top speed for that type of athlete), gunner would be about 59 yards downfield from the LOS when the punt landed, so the returner would have to field the punt and take off before the gunner at top speed got to their spot..

Being old, glad to see Paul Maguire on the league list, he was a weapon for the AFL Bills, flipped the field many times.

My dad and I were at the 1963 playoff game vs. the Patsies in the Rockpile. It had snowed a foot the week before the game, and our seats were impressions of garbage cans pressed on top of the snow in the Bleachers. Only bright spot in the game for the Bills was a 93 yard TD from Lamonica to Dubenion. Brutal cold day. Even in the two championship years, 1964 and 1965, there was always an undercurrent of a QB controversy.

At the time, I think Darby and Gilmore were regarded as a pretty competent duo.

Once again, it appears that any time Derrick Henry runs between the tackles, any type of block is allowed.
