WTF

That was my initial reaction  and I though I knew the CFL, like something you would except in the XFL, really not "football" at all.

[DCofNC]

Certainly not shocking, really have not been able to rely on BoJo to get it done.  Vevdik is a cool prospect, but does he actually have “it” to punt, I don’t know.

This was the 1st punt in practice for Carolina's new punter. I hope this is 1 Panther that doesnt end up in a Bills uni at some point haha.

But i'm glad we're working out more punters. Special teams is such an integral part of the game & we should be looking to improve any position group we can.

I don't know much about punters, but Matt Bosher was ranked 3rd best IN THE LEAGUE by this website in 2019:

And it looks like Lachlan Edwards had significantly better stats than Bojo last year:

I'm all for replacing Bojo. He was extremely inconsistent and killed us sometimes. Punting is one of those things that you just expect to be good and is an easy fix. Bosher FTW?

Lachlan Edwards is 28.  He has a pretty big leg.  Matt Bosher is 32 He doesn't have a huge leg, but is OK and has a fair amount of experience.  He has also been a placekicker in the past, but I think that was quite a while ago.  I think Vedvik has a bigger leg than Bojorquez plus he could serve as an emergency place kicker.  If Bass doesn't win the place kicker competition, Vedvik could double as a kickoff specialist and leave Hauschka to do field goals only.   I'm kind of rooting for him to win that competition, both for his leg strength and his versatility.

That's a scrub punt.  LOL.  Lets not give up on Bijorquez.  The guy has a cannon for a leg.  Had the two bad ones against Baltimore.  But I think he gets a whole lot of undeserved negativity from Bills Nation.  And he seems to have a little swag to his game.  I like him.

Low key wish we drafted Braden Mann

Same here.  I would take Braden over Fromm in a heartbeat.

He's still one of my favorite Bills of all time.  Thanks for reminding us.

I don't feel bad because the Bills don't have Moorman, I feel bad for Moorman that he never got to play on a Bills team with this much talent.  He's got to be sitting there thinking, "are you kidding me?"

[Doc Brown]

Surprised the Jets didn't resign Edwards as he's been pretty consistent for them.

Bojorquez (sp) was terrible at times.  

He was bottom 3 in the NFL, and even his touchback percentage (which wasn't bad) was typically at the 15-20 yard line, and he rarely ever pinned anyone deep.  He was awful.

I totally agree with you!  Vedvik has one incredible leg

I was always baffled at how much pride some people took in that.

@Brianmoorman4jesus surely does I'm sure, hence the screen name.

Nothing like Moorman running a fake punt or booming it. Let's have Josh throw it and Brian kick it and see who gets it further.

[GreggTX]

I just wanted to add that I don't think actual NFL game experience is a factor for punters other than to overcome the jitters the 1st time out. How many times do they have to go through the same simple motion sequence to be able to repeat it in a game?

What’s he doing these days 

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

This is a bad sign-- probably means Bojo is doing Bojoish things, and Vedvik is looking terrible.
