BisonMan Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Oddly, the last two games reminded me of the days when our punter (Moorman) was the best player on the field for the Bills. Everyone wanted Bojo's head at the start of the season but he's had a very good year so far, including a few kicks that completely flipped the field position in games. His stat line through 6 weeks is very good. He's 3rd in average punt distance and 6th in net punting yards. He's only had 2 touchbacks in 16 kicks so far this year. Against KC, all 4 of his punts ended up inside the 20 with a 53.2 yard average and less that 1/2 yard average return. A shining spot across the last two games when the rest of the squad didn't look very good. My 2 cents. 2

This past game was good for Bojo though I want to see the laces and ball position on that missed FG. Punt placement was very very good, no complaints. The previous game I've posted before about what role I think punt placement had in that 40 yd return. And "Laces Out, Bojo!" 2
The Jokeman Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Bojo's been better on punts, am not sure I like him holding kicks. Also a shout out to our coverage teams on kickoffs. I just don't get why we can't tackle as well on defense.
TheyCallMeAndy Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Is this what happens when you stick with and develop a kid? 3 1
NewEra Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Lots of love for the kid as a punter. Sure, he could be better on the shorter punts, but when he has to boom one, he usually does a great job. As a holder, he sucks obv, but it’s not rocket science. He can improve
dorquemada Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 clearly our MVP last night. I look forward to the official Buffalo Bills 2021 media guide with a picture of him on the cover 1

He can improve Everyone always says they "can improve", but how much are you willing to lose before they do? If they ever do. He has contributed to quite a few missed kicks at this point, just but the backup QB out there and mitigate the risk.

PromoTheRobot Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Punt and kickoff coverage last night was surprisingly good.

Do you think Bojo was at all to blame for the loss yesterday?
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Bills fans and punters. Name two groups that love each other more? 1
4_kidd_4 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Welp. I thought last night felt like some drought era football. Punter being the game mvp kinda cements that vibe. 2

I didn't say get rid of him, just get him away from holding. The guy has blown holds since he has been here. He should've improved by now and he isn't even doing the basics right. Missed kicks blow games (I'm not saying yesterday but in general), and he has a big part to do with that. 5 minutes ago, NewEra said: So you propose that we cut him now? Just take him off holding. Did I say cut? Mitigate is the key term.

The one kick I saw yesterday he rotated the ball perfectly. I didn't see on the missed kick. I'm assuming he's working on it. And holding kicks seems like something that can easily be improved by simply getting more practice reps and just putting in the time. Does Barkley have experience holding kicks? Or would he be starting from square 1?

When we lose a game because of this I'll worry about it. when we get blown out because we cant stop the run, i'm not losing sleep over a young punter who is booming his punts being sub optimal on FG holds 1
billsfan89 Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 I take back every bad thing I said about Bojo in the past. He has been a stud this year, top 5 punter in the league. Outside of Bass's shaky play (which isn't tragic) the whole ST unit has been strong. 2
Dan Darragh Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 If I heard them right on the broadcast last night, he has the 2 longest punts in the NFL this season. 2
LABILLBACKER Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 I'll give him his props. He is punting better but it dumbfounds me the coaches can't correct the laces. Either fix it now or get Barkley trained.
Rc2catch Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Bojo has always had superior leg talent, he wouldn’t of survived this long without it. He’s just never been consistent
RiotAct Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Ehhh, we’ll probably be calling for his head again next week
