Lurker Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 There is a small case to be made for keeping two kickers (its been done before), especially if they think Bass is their guy for the future. There is NO case for keeping two punters...

The answer is resounding NO Refer to pantry illustration above. You have plenty of tomato soup in the cupboard...replace a few cans with good stuff!!
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 Well, then, maybe it's time to rightfully promote Foster to the #1 WR position! *?

You'll get called on it and come back,claiming it was a joke. Too many other positions need depth, so Bills will keep 1 kicker and 1 punter, period. George (can I call you George?) - I’ll say it again: Points (FG’s) and field position (deep accurate punts) win football games. Why wouldn’t you maximize the likelihood of both by retaining more of those position players at the expense of two or three cans of tomato soup (7th CB or 8th Olineman). #freeyourmind #fergysproof #fergytheory #calculus

billieve420 Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 I would consider 2 Kickers on the opening day roster to start if Bass shows enough. In terms of Punter keep whoever wins the job. Bojorquez wasn't great last year to begin with.
dbfla10 Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 Are the extra two kickers going to be the Gunners on punts and kickoffs? In your theory keeping more kickers actually makes the special teams worse not better.
co_springs_billsfan Posted August 21, 2020 Posted August 21, 2020 Don't underestimate the likelihood of a kickoff specialist either. If you can kick the ball out of the end zone every time you can put Josh Allen on kickoff coverage. This one move frees up so many wasted roster spots for special teams kick coverage. Fewer kickoffs to cover also has an added benefit of fewer player interactions/collisions which is more important than ever in a COVID season. If we add the 40-49 yard kicker as mentioned repeatedly by @klos63 we could feasibly carry 4 kickers this season. 2

Well the extra kickers already play special teams so so they don't need to learn to be taught the intricacies of coverage, hence better

If we add the 40-49 yard kicker as mentioned repeatedly by @klos63 we could feasibly carry 4 kickers this season. Hence the reason for keeping Hauschka and Bass. Have Bass do the regular kickoff duties, but every once in a while (at the last second) sub in Hausch to throw the other team a curve ball. He drops a high hanger on the 15 yard line and Pat DiMarco vaporizes the returner. This will lead to many more fumble recoveries on special teams. Genius. 4 hours ago, gordong said: So what position group are you going to go short on to keep 4 kickers??? The answer is resounding NO Go short on LB’ers. We only really need 2. We play nickel most of the time anyway. Just keep one extra safety. Bingo. 1

JMF2006 Posted August 22, 2020 Posted August 22, 2020 I think we need 4 punter and 4 FG kickers...one for each Quarter...... I think these boys need relief they see the field so much Fergy quit pulling our leg....or finger

I was thinking this. Even putting Bass on the practice squad would be a risk, but so would being stuck with him for the rest of the season if he ends up poopin' the bed. No two punters, thats crazy. 1 hour ago, Limeaid said: You have no history on site.

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? two kickers with different strengths can work in some games - especially say you expect a low scoring battle against new england. two kickers and two punters though — ?? maybe if one of the punters can cover on special teams when the other is punting. but kudos for a real creative thought

Thoughts? 4 kickers on the 53 ? what a joke. sure , keep an extra 2 kickers in case a starter goes down, , but not on the 53. the rules say you can bring a guy up practically on game day if the starter tests positive.
