BillsMafi$ Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I know it’s two games but he would be 2nd in the NFL In punting averaged based off his first two games in the XFL. I know there was talk last year that the bills were interested in from Adam Shefter but those reports were later denied. I’m sure he’s going to be a hot commodity this fall but he’s a lot better than the two options we have now. 3 1

When you get your own team that preference should come into play at some point. Including the thought that those would be the only two options.
GunnerBill Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I can't remember any other punter who fans obsess over quite as much. 1

CSBill Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Our punter is good for those inside the 20 kicks because he is very consistent at punting 30-35 yards, and nothing more. I would definitely give King a look.
machine gun kelly Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Guys, I was skeptical after that Pats debacle, but he made up for it the rest of the year. Why so many people state 30 yds avg. is not accurate. Yr. Long. Avg. Inside the 20 2018. 67 yds. 41.9 yds. 34 2019. 60 yds. 45.1 yds. 22 Career. 67 yds. 43.1 yds. 56 Those are decent numbers. Taking on a problem is not worth it. 2 1
Orlando Buffalo Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 There are few positions that you bring in a diva player for punter is not it. Bojo was average or better for the second half of the year.

White Linen Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Corey Bojorquez stinks and at some really bad times too. Yes he got better but dang he punted enough - he should. I think over the years - similar to a Sabres goalie discussion I had with a friend - we've had pretty darn good kicking for most of my viewing life (I'm 45). I know what good kicking looks like and that's not it.

Kirby Jackson Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I believe that the Bills are a title contender this year. They aren’t the favorite but they one of the 10 teams(ish) that can actually win it all if things go right. This is the time that you take some chances. King may be an idiot but he’s elite. You hope that he was humbled being out of the league but you DO NOT pass on superior talent at this point. That’s what you need to get over the top. 1
T master Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 No thanks i think he could be voted to the All Jack Ass team along with AB & Leveon ! He is not a player that i see McD even considering after he reads anything about his time on those teams . A punter that gets a 15 yd penalty i never heard of such a thing . Being hyped to do your job is one thing being stupid & causing your team to lose field position because of it is another, besides he has more than likely signed a contract with the XFL & has to honor it to the end of it . 1
EasternOHBillsFan Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 The guy is a team chemistry HEADACHE!!! Let him go to the Browns and add to their disaster... not here. 31 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: I believe that the Bills are a title contender this year.

5 Wide Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I always wondered why you just don't use a 7th round pick on the best punter in college. Hes going to be on the field more than the guy you are likely going to send to the practice squad. 1

Bojorquez was 33rd (keep in mind 4 of these guys didn’t have a lot of punts) in average yards: https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/stats?season=2019&week=100&category=PUNTING Marquette King’s career average in 46.7 yards. If the Bills are going to play tight games field position and turnovers are important. King is clearly the best available punter. This is the time to start pushing your chips in. If you are worried about a punter damaging your locker room, your locker room has problems. 1
