Our new punter will be (Update pg. 38 - Martin Signed)

I honestly think I am worthy of your support. What do I have to do to get your vote? -

I think Moorman gets his due credit for his punting and his surprising athleticism…..but endurance is often overlooked. Numbers could call me a liar, but he seemed like one seriously overworked punter. If your punter is your MVP, what more needs to be said? But he will ALWAYS be remembered for the way he was LIT UP by Sean Taylor….in a Pro Bowl of all things! That SEEMS like so long ago, he might be looking to come back from a hip replacement! -
McDermott/Beane press conference 8/27: Matt Araiza released

Ever see the movie Ransom? They steal his kid, and rather than play that game, they say I’ll pay the $10 million (or whatever it was)….to anyone who delivers you to me. I know that won’t happen, but it would not break my heart if the billionaires club showed this guy for what he is. I’m OK if he were to lose his license to practice. I don’t know the exact angle, and it would have to be discreet and indirect, but I would smile. I’m no expert, but IMO he has not represented his client in a way that represented her best interests. -

Well, then they should be on to the next thing soon…… -

That’s how I saw it. Make sure the kid can play, and if he can’t we’ll find somebody else. There is always someone out there who can give you about what Haack provides. When it all hit the fan, they went to their list of guys who could be passable placeholders. Rumor has it they caught wind of @BringBackFergy’s dedicated holder idea and they knew they could have that part covered. OK, maybe not that last part, but you know how rumors are. Easy to start, strangely hard to ignore…..like car wrecks. -
It’s going in the right direction. I see it going down to two games before long, maybe when they try to get to 18 games. Not sure if they ever go to zero, but it’s a chance for scrubs to have their day in the sun. My son worked out with a guy who supposedly “played for the Bills”, and there is a photo which seems to confirm that. Just keep Josh and the gang safely on the sideline. The Pro Bowl? I don’t even take a peek.

It’s certainly no Pro Bowl out there! Guys are trying to make a name for themselves and earn roster spots. If I have to watch one, it’s preseason. If I got to eliminate one, that is also preseason. It’s hard to get hurt in a Pro Bowl - even if Brian Moorman disagrees!

Well, don’t be so hard on yourself. I mean, you are above average, but I prefer to think of it as “big boned”. I also love this team and have for decades. I’m not at all surprised that this FO handled a difficult situation about as well as possible.

I know I will certainly sleep better tonight. That may be related to a buddy who dropped by, and the large pizza and 20 wings delivered a little after 9PM last night. Either way, I WIN! -
It’s Hillsborough County. They can get kinda uptight. 🤷♂️

He’s probably not too afraid to compete with Barkley for the role. -

Augie replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
When I was in college I lived in a three story house (former triplex) with 11 other guys. It was literally like Animal House. The guy on the 3rd floor in the front of the house threw a pony keg thru some glass he stole from the framing shop where he worked (he wasn’t stupid enough to break his own window) into the front yard. He failed to account for the cars parked in the front yard, specifically the one that ended up with a broken windshield. In houses that were more tame I’d maybe take a little responsibility, but I can’t control everything. It was college. Now? It’s our house and we are in charge. But I’m not a kid anymore. By any means or measure…….. -

Who does NOT say it’s not about the money? We’ll probably never know, but why go after the one guy who happened to make an NFL team, right when he made it. I think I’d have gone after SDSU first. Who do you think has deeper pockets? Hint: It is not a 6th round rookie. I don’t care if the police told them they were handling it, that institution bears some blame if they let this slide. There is something strange about all this, and none of us know all the facts. Certainly not myself. -

Not to get too far off track, but this is why I buy Bills gear but own zero jerseys. -

I think he only exists on Twitter. Not an expert there, but that’s how it seems. He’s probably bummed that there is no longer a big paycheck to go after. -

You weigh everything and make the decisions based upon what we know today. That’s all we can do. I’m generally not one to blame people using my 20/20 hindsight. People like to do this about draft choices. Sure, it’s easy 3 years down the road. -

I have not seen it yet, but this would be the approach I would hope for. This will NOT drag on, it is now history. Let’s learn from the past, but let’s all look forward. We have a season to play. . -

Do you have to try, or does this come naturally to you? Is there a team you are actually a fan of? -

Please realize that they don’t just look into the 6-8 players they draft every year. They look into hundreds of players they might be interested in. If it’s a first round QB the scrutiny is greater than a 6th round punter. I’m sure they wish they had known sooner, and that’s one of the things they will kick themselves for, and hopefully learn from. But face it, surprises happen to most teams in most years.
