NewEra Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Excited to see him in action. we’re likely to see him quite a bit this Sunday. Glad we made this move. Schmidt’s leg was extremely underwhelming 1

Placement is great for an offense that moves the ball...but we just need to kick it 70 yards downfield. Maybe Bills brain trust figure they will be punting from endzone a lot.

Now, he's the starting punter for the Bills and has never kicked in a regular or pre-season NFL game. A mystery man?? Not according to the Patriots long time place kicker -who is a family friend (he grew up in the Buffalo area as a kid)- who saw him through out pre-season. "He's got a monster leg , is a very good place kick holder and just needs to work on his placement of kicks. He didn't know why he wasn't played in pre-season games but "you don't ask Bill about that sort of stuff'!!! WELCOME COREY!! Source, do have any or just guessing here

I buy the theory that the Cheaters wanted to stash him on the PS by not letting anyone see him kick over their claim that he hadn't earned playing time in pre-season. Ryan Allen is nothing special. 2

Height and distance will not be a problem.

Corey Bojorquez. The UDFA rookie punter from New Mexico has a big leg. He was right down in front of us and was consistently hitting 45-55 yard punts with incredible height and hang time. Training camp is going to be an interesting battle between him and veteran Ryan Allen. The rookie looked really good today. Edited September 4, 2018 by Niagara Dude
unbillievable Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Very inconsistent. Shanked a few; while in shorts with no rush. New Mexico isn't known for snow or wind. Hang time between 4.5 to 4.6 seconds. NFL average is 4.44. 1

If you notice his feet don't leave the ground when he's kicking in these video's - but in the game he gets lift off the ground.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Graham: What are your plans at punter after cutting veteran Colton Schmidt and signing Corey Bjorquez, a rookie who didn’t even punt in the preseason? Beane: We’ll give this young man a chance and see what he can do. We know he has a big leg from college, and he didn’t get a chance to kick in New England. They were doing what they thought was best, but we’re trying this. We’re always looking. Doesn’t mean you’re right. Time will tell, but he’s a good, young man, and he’s excited for this opportunity. It’s what this business is about: opportunity and what you make of it.
Marv's Neighbor Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Have to assume that he tried out before we signed him? If so, he impressed the coach(s) enough to sign him. We have so many other "concerns," I'm not going to worry about this.

BillnutinHouston Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Seems risky to let Schmidt and his experience walk. Man this regime really hates players that they believe are overpaid.
COTC Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 This appears like another risky move by our Front Office that is likely to back fire. One of many.
ddarlak Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 reality is he's a punter, they punt the ball it's not rocket science. don't think it had anything to do with salary, they wanted a bigger leg, just like they wanted a bigger arm.

I think money was a factor. The bills invested millions in AJ and Coleman. New punter claws back a little of that.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Here's to no impact on Hausch Money's place kicks with the new guy holding.
BobDVA Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Is that a nasty looking scar on his right knee? What is that?
