Jerry Jabber Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) In back to back weeks, the Bills have given up long kick/punt returns. Luckily, a holding penalty against the Bengals negated a return for a TD. For punt returns, should Bojorquez start aiming the football out of bounds or near the sidelines? I hope Heath Farwell makes some adjustments quickly. Edited September 24, 2019 by Jerry Jabber

SCBills Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Another concern is our own punt returning. You could see Andre Roberts visibly upset at a blocker on a punt return that looked to have a ton of room if not for our guy completely whiffing on his block.
badassgixxer05 Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Consistency with Bojorquez has been the biggest issue. When he gets off a good one he can kick it out of the stadium, other times he kind of just doesn't get a good leg into it and it goes no where. Nothing terrible that I can remember, hes just been average. Maybe he will get into it here soon and gain a bit more confidence.

Yeah, they might need some magic from him this week. Get yo ***** together!
thenorthremembers Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Going to take a wait and see on Special Teams. New coach, new players. May take a few weeks for it all to gel.

Whenever he tries punting they ball with hang time it lands short and he almost never is ever able to pin a team inside the 10. Watch the difference between him and the punters for Cincinnati and NYG.

I think what’s missed is that the constant new threads that are already being discussed elsewhere makes some of the valuable threads harder to find, thus limiting discussion. A quick scan would have shown that Teams is already being discussed on the board.

I was only discussing part of what goes into Special Teams, not Special Teams as a whole. If there's a post about the "Bills offense" and a poster starts a thread about Josh Allen, should people start complaining that there's already a thread discussing Josh Allen in the "Bills offense" thread?

Wouldn't be surprised if during practice he's also booming them and that's why they have stuck with him longer as they know he has it in him, but on game days is inconsistent. At some point though either they will need to see improvement during games or they may look elsewhere. The other thing in his favor may be there aren't any better options, but again if keeps punting bad, the other bad options may become better ones.
zow2 Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 Bojorquez isn't going anywhere as long as Hausch-money is kicking well and feels chemistry with his holder. Unlike last year you don’t mess with it unless the dude is shanking 30-yarders all over the place

I propose we start a new thread called Thread Etiquette where we can discuss when to and when not to start a new thread. The punt return where Roberts got nothing and was mad reminded me of a post I read when we signed him that the great return he got for the Jets had a lot to do with the blocking he got. We won't get any big returns from him until we straighten that out. 1
