Just to add, a nice article here where he talks about the adjustments he’s making to get more hangtime. https://www.si.com/.amp/nfl/2022/04/22/matt-araiza-nfl-draft-viral-punter -

To me, if you out-kick your coverage in the NFL, your coverage team sucks. In Buffalo it isn’t all about hang time all the time, as we saw in the Patriots game. Araiza is going to be weapon who can get hangtime if needed, but can also hit long line drives through the wind. If he is our punter in 2021 we win that windy game. I get that he may not have shown a lot of hangtime in his game. Maybe that isn’t what the coaches wanted. He did show it at the combine. -
Two things…if Alec Anderson can play center he is an interesting piece as a college RT. He has some length and could be an interesting piece to keep on the practice squad. Also Jalen Wydermeyer is going to make the team. I think he is competing with Sweeney, but also Gilliam as I am not sure this team keeps a fullback imo. Wydermeyer has a better than good shot.

Yeah that ABC show is for the general public, not football junkies. It has that Lifetime movie after school special feel. -

Araiza is not the first kicker/punter to come out of college. There have been a bunch of guys in the past who did both in college and had to learn how to hold in the pros. He is a great athlete with bigger hands than Kenny Pickett. I am sure he needs work, but this has been done before, and if he puts the work in, I am sure he will be fine. It’s significant, but the challenge is being overblown. In fact, because he was a placekicker, he may have an even better understanding of what Bass wants him to do holding wise. He is going to be fine. -

He has a role. Teach Araiza everything he knows about holding and then get cut. -

NFL Draft 2022 Fourth to Seventh Round Discussion Thread
MrEpsYtown replied to UKBillFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
He talked about Elam making a really good defense even better and he is a lock down guy. He loved the Cook pick as a do it all playmaker. Then talked about the punter. He essentially said that times when the offense doesn’t score, Araiza can flip the field. Rhett Lewis chimed in, that his neighbor is former left footed punter Jeff Locke, and Locke texted him that the wind pattern in Buffalo is better for left footed punters. Lewis also said that Shakir is a great weapon for Josh. Marc Ross picked the Jets. -

That’s what he said 🤷♂️ -
Rd 5, Pick 148 (5): WR Khalil Shakir, Boise St
MrEpsYtown replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
Beane said he sees him as competing at the 3-4 WR position and said those guys have to play inside and outside and that he isn’t limited to the slot. -

James Jones on NFL network picked the Bills as draft winners. Pretty good analysis there. -

Because he was both kicker and punter at San Diego State. -

BTW I vote for more Reece Davis. He is faciltating conversation without snark and stupid opinions. Most enjoyable day 3 on ESPN in a while. -
