A bad punt can leave your defense with a short field. A missed 55 yd field goal - no points. This team is ready to win, and winning requires good field position and points. Keep Bass as our long field goal kicker...anything over 50 yards, he comes on the field. Keep Hauschka for the 20-40 yd field goals...he's money. Keep Bojorquez for shorter punts when you need the ball placed inside the 15 yd line or when there's a southeasterly wind at the stadium (to crate a cross wind with his left foot). Keep Edwards for longer punts and drop kicks. He's Australian and they utilize the drop kick a lot in that league. Would be a nice wrinkle for the Bills and can score points. Thoughts?

DCofNC Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 I would absolutely keep both kickers on the roster. I would use them the way you are saying, BUT more importantly, I want 2 in case of Covid. If they test positive, they are out, just think about going into a game and on Friday (or later) you find out your kicker is out. With the struggle to find reliable kicking across the league last year WITHOUT Covid, I wouldn’t give up my kickers or risk them to practice squad. I do understand there are some practice squad exemptions this year, but for the situation the Bills are looking at, unless Haush looks done or Bass is completely lights out (impossible to know with no preseason), I’d use them to their strengths and go with it. 1

Mango Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 I am super unsure if you are trolling. So the Bills are keeping 4 kickers, 3 QB's, plus Dimarco, Taiwan Jones, and Andre Roberts because of their ST ability not because they provide any usefulness on their side of the ball. That is like 20% of our final roster. Who are the other 10 players you cut from the 53? Or don't dress as part of the 46?

Bad punt = Gift to opposing offense. If you excel at skill players on ST (by reducing number of depth players at CB or OL for instance) you increase your chances of winning based on the theorum I wrote below: ST Player1, ST Player2, ST Player3, ST Player4 x .50 (50% increase in convertible field position points) - CB4 x OL4 = 33% Increase in Points Is this a troll job? Since when is Bojorquez supposedly some great position punter..he is as likely to just shank a punt as any current pro punter there is. As for your elaborate formula, "ST Player1, ST Player2, ST Player3, ST Player4 x .50 (50% increase in convertible field position points) - CB4 x OL4 = 33% Increase in Points" Did you laugh at out loud when you wrote that? Amazing with all the sophisticated computer algorithms and analytics in football you have hit on o pure mathematical genius!! Edited August 21, 2020 by RoyBatty is alive

Amazing with all the sophisticated computer algorithms and analytics in football you have hit on o pure mathematical genius!! I would challenge you to create a proof that is better than the above. You know why you can't? Because my proof is plausible. Adding/keeping 4 skill kickers by reducing two depth players at a position of strength equals an increase in points (and better field position). My theory holds true and there's not much you can say to detract from the proof itself.
BuffaloBillies Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 We just need one to kick extra points. No punting needed.

HardyBoy Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 I love the idea during an El Nino year, because the south easterly wind has a stronger north south vector that really takes advantage of a left footed punter (take that with a grain of salt, I'm not a physicist, but I've read a ton of blogs and watched even more youtube videos). Unfortunately it's a La Nina year, so this is just a bad idea sadly. 1 1

strive_for_five_guy Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 First of all, we aren’t even going to need to punt this year! ? 1
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 I’m ready to roll with Bass. We need his leg. If they want to keep Hauska and can find a spot for him I’m fine with that too.
BringBackFlutie Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 I love this. So much. There's even a mathematical explanation. @BringBackFergy is a true genius, and we should appreciate his work. It's the perfect balance of creativity and not trying too hard. 1

Mike in Horseheads Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 People laughed last year when the OP suggested the offensive line rolling rotation, he he got the last laugh!
