Alphadawg7 Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 Lots of Ertz chatter on Twitter involving Bills and Jets…no substance really that I can see, just because of the Hollister cut (which is almost certainly a temp move to IR someone and resign him and likely has nothing to do with Ertz) and now the Herndon trade. Just speculation he’s headed to AFC East over that which is silly and some Packers chatter too. Ertz is the new Clooney lol

Especially when you are dealing with back of the roster offensive or defensive players. Those players very rarely get an opportunity to play offense or defense, so their contribution to those units is minimal. OTOH, a great ST player makes a big impact several times in virtually every game. A great ST unit needs players who are great at the job, See Tasker, Steve

A great ST unit needs players who are great at the job, It’s not when we barely punt the ball and we will probably punt less this year than last. Haack also has better hangtime and can get a fair amount of fair catch rates. Edited August 31, 2021 by IronMaidenBills
TheBeaneBandit Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 Trufant is only 30 years old, probably has a couple good years left. Wonder what it would cost $$$........
Rocky Landing Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 6 minutes ago, IronMaidenBills said: Considering Haack speciality is hangtime and punts being downed inside the 20, Taiwan is fairly expendable. Especially considering how low we punt, which I figured this year will be even lower given I expect Josh and this offense to put up even better numbers this year. Are you honestly saying that Matt Haack makes Taiwan Jones expendable?

I would just say that 33-year-old career STer Taiwan Jones clears waivers and doesn’t have any takers. There are several guys who would not. This is a no-brainer. If we still want him, he can go to the squad.

If the team agreed with that logic, they'd have never signed Taiwan Jones to a new contract in Free Agency AFTER they signed Matt Haack.
Milanos Milano Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 Come on people, think about it. We put out 5 wide a fairly decent amount per game. We are keeping 7 and maybe even 8WRs, especially now that we have a competent backup QB. 2QBs and less TEs is expected. 1

ColoradoBills Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 4 minutes ago, Rocky Landing said: Are you honestly saying that Matt Haack makes Taiwan Jones expendable? Definitely not. What is reasonable is that Haack + Jones replacement MAY make his perceived role diminished enough they move on from him. That has been my take all off season. 1

He immediately becomes a FA eligible to sign with whomever he chooses. That's what makes him a candidate for a *wink wink nod nod* release and return.
