BillsFanForever19 Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 After how well they did as a whole in the first 5 rounds, I think it's pretty baller that they called it a day with a Kicker. "AND a Kicker! What! In yo face!"
truth on hold Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Don't forget Lindell ended the season on IR. who knows how he comes back
CBD Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MqqH6RucFo 2011: • 36 Touchbacks ranking 1st amongst D1 seniors • Earned First Team Capital One Academic All-America • Led Team in Scoring for 4th consecutive year with 107 points • Program Record holder for career points(333) • Program Record holder for tackles by a kicker (36) • Mid American Conference Record holder for consecutive PAT's made in a career (129)
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) what the hell does BPA mean. I am old and don't understand all this new abbreviated stuff I see on this board. No disrespect intended. Best player available. I'm getting pretty old too though. Does anyone care to explain the meaning of hash tag to me? Edited April 28, 2012 by BLZFAN4LIFE
The Wiz Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Championship! I honestly don't think that Lindell has had 36 touchbacks in his entire career. Edited April 28, 2012 by The Wiz
jimmy10 Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 We fail. Jax took a punter in the third. Was Buddy napping? Ralph is cheap. 0-16.
cage Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 From what I read excellent on PA attempts. Field goals about an 80% guy or so. His leg isn't the strongest but not the weakest. Could be a practice guy squad. Ryan is starting to age and injuries may more frequently start to occur. Good pick to finish a good draft. That's a joke, right? Not sure why you'd pick a kicker w/ the 3rd last pick? Anyway,... great draft!!
biggerdaddynj Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Buddy must have loved Potter's pro day results: 40 yd dash: 4.93 Bench press reps (225): 9 (only 3 reps behind Sean Spence) Vertical jump: 30" Broad jump: 9' 3" 20 yd shuttle: 4.32 3-cone drill: 7.10
Cash Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 OMG A KICKER THIS IS CRAY-CRAY!!! I didn't see this coming. Seems like a good KO guy, so that's good. Curious to see what UDFAs the Bills go for, and also curious to see what they say about Mr. Potter here. Could we get Alan Rickman to do the press conference for this pick, and only refer to this guy as "Mister Potter"? That would make me happy. Best player available. I'm getting pretty old too though. Does anyone care to explain the meaning of hash tag to me? It's just a slang term that the youth are using. "Tag" is short for price tag, and basically means that something is expensive. "Hash" is short for corned beef hash, which is a popular breakfast food that's usually pretty cheap. So it's basically saying that you're paying high-class prices for a low-class item.
Nuncha Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Don't forget Lindell ended the season on IR. who knows how he comes back He hurt his shoulder - he will be back.
Just Jack Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 • Earned First Team Capital One Academic All-America Oh yea! He's learned! This is why they picked him up. To help the other players figure out the special teams playbook.
drnykterstein Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 what the hell does BPA mean. I am old and don't understand all this new abbreviated stuff I see on this board. No disrespect intended. Ya the definitely go overboard with that stuff around here sometimes.

Lurker Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Buddy say's he's a kickoff man (can supposedly put it through the uprights from the 35). Said if they can get a touchback on every kick, the guy's worth having on the gameday roster...
jimmy10 Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) Judging from the transcript of his teleconference on the Bills site, it's obvious dude's got one hell of a leg, his only concern is his accuracy on field goals. I know everyone likes to rag on kickers, but they're hugely important for field position and clutch FGs, just ask the Broncos. You get a good nfl kicker with a huge leg and ice in his veins, you hold on to him. Lindell won't be around forever. Maybe this guy's the future. Should be an interesting training camp.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Wow. A kicker. Post your reaction. another wasted pick, ain't no way this guy makes the team unless we cut Lindell. We could have had Tommy Streeter in the 6th and BJ Coleman in the 7th if we didn't panic for Graham who clearly still would have been there. Our last pick could have been Levy Adcock who as a tackle has more upside than Asper.
BobbyC81 Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 WHat happened to Buddy Nix saying they should draft a QB every year?
Lurker Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 another wasted pick, ain't no way this guy makes the team unless we cut Lindell. In Buddy's presser, he said if Potter can kick it out of the endzone on every attempt, he'll make the team strictly as a kickoff guy. From the looks of the video posted above, he can certainly have a strong chance to do that...
section122 Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 He should call raymer and thank him. May make it for knockoffs only but I envision him getting put on the practice squad for insurance. Not a bad pick imo. As an aside on a related topic... I was surprised at the number of kickers drafter this year 3 pk and 1 punter off the top of my head which seems like way more than normal.
