Expand Where do you get your information? Maybe he's not good enough to start at Pittsburgh, but they must feel there are ways to utilize his talents other than just special teams, or they would not have signed him.

billsfan89 Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) The ST unit while not bad last season was far from an elite unit. And I am not talking about the shaky punting and Haush not having much leg beyond 50. The coverage units were just OK. I think adding another ST ace to the coverage and kick units is a proactive decision that helps the ST take another step up. If only they could find a punter. Edited March 17, 2020 by billsfan89
Wizard Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Too much for a process ST guy. To Do List 1. Griffen 2. Bulaga 3. Leonard Floyd 4. Jordan Howard 5. Extend White Now! 6. Cut waste (Murphy, Nsheke, Smith, etc)

Hell, he could potentially be our starting RT. 2
ColoradoBills Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 I looked up his ST snap count. He had 340 snaps on ST last year. In 2019 Stafford led the Bills with 297. His ST snap % was 79% which means he play all ST plays except XP and FG attempts. Looks like he will be the ST Captain in 2020. What will happen to DiMarco? LOL

Heathcliff Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Wasn’t Lo primarily a special teams player when he signed with the Bills?

I think Klein is good enough to be that guy and he still contributes to ST. He should fill in for LorAx relatively well, but without the occasional work on the DL. And you are right that we have a couple young guys that could rise up.
