K. I offered specific things that they have done. What are you offering. Heres a clue for you and several others on this board. If you want to change somebodys mind about something, then you need to offer some sort of data or info of some kind.

They have not been good.....but this front office has only had 2 years in office. And after that second year......they fired the ST's coach.

DCbillsfan Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 42 minutes ago, Bills2ref said: I am fine with having Carter and Bojorquez battle it out in camp. Two of Bojorquez’s big errors are easily correctable. He heard the wrong call and thought fake punt on one, a mistake I’m sure he will never make again. He fumbled a snap too, but I’m willing to overlook a rookie mistake. If he can improve his consistency a bit he will be just fine. If he hits it right he absolutely booms it. Also can’t overlook the fact that we will have a far better special teams coach (because whoever they hired can’t be any worse than Crossman). Corey Carter i believe would have won the punter job if he didnt tear his ACL. Carter and Bojorquez will fight it out. No need to draft a punter. The Bills have more pressing needs on offense. 2

without a drought Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 I thought Michael Dickson was worth a pick last year, but I'll pass most years. There are usually a few udfa's that not that different from the couple who get picked.
BillsSB2020 Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 I believe I would if the team really believes in the punter. Let's face it. There's not a whole lot of difference between a 7th RD pick and an UDFA. There is always the occasional homerun in the 7th round, but they're so few and far between that I wouldn't mind "locking up" a solid punter. I will say this about the Buffalo Bills situation. I am not a fan of Colton Schmidt's punting. I'd rather have the camp upstart or Bojorquez.

LABILLBACKER Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Not this year, I'd go one year with Bojo and draft Braden Mann next year in the 5th round. This kid from Texas A&M has decided to return for his senior season. He averaged 61 yards/ kick against Alabama. He'll be the next Ray Guy.
Ethan in Cleveland Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 4 hours ago, row_33 said: that proves....... nothing on the field.... so far...... you are suggesting that ST has been an important part of the team the last few years? think real hard.................................................................. Obviously you have not paid attention. Current and former regime has wasted many roster spots on guys who can only play STs. Current squad kept a ST only WR on the roster and that cost them a 3rd round comp pick. Just becuase the STs suck does not mean they don't care about it. When the overall talent level on the team sucks you get ***** STs play. The LB group has been one of the worst in the NFL for years. WR group is slow and awful. The ST coordinator is meaningless. Crossman has had good and bad units statistically. So has the legend of Bobby April. It's all about the players and McBeane put together a crap roster last year.
Augie Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 If we could get a really good punter, maybe the best at his position in the draft, vs some schmo LB who is the longest of long shots....why not? Not enough info in this hypothetical to say for sure, but it certainly could be the right move. Ray Guy, anyone?
FeelingOnYouboty Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 We have two 5th rounders. Take Mitch Wishnowski from Utah with one of them. 6'2 220 and had an average of 45.1 per punt this year and 44 last year. He was booming them at the Senior Bowl.
GunnerBill Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 I hope Carter comes back healthy. Bojorquez is the opposite of reliable. He has a massive leg but his hang time is inconsistent and he made too many big errors.
WideNine Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Normally I don't think so. I like the prospect from Utah and think the Bills should have him on speed dial as a UFA.
Captain Hindsight Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 If Marrone was the coach here hed be a 3rd rounder. Between Carter and Bojangles, we should be fine
