Shout out to Matt Haack

[Back2Buff]

Watching the Tyler Bass highlights on the Bills website and noticed how well and quickly he is able to hold the ball for Bass.  Bojo was an absolute trainwreck, and Haack deserves credit for getting the placement correctly and real quick.  Not all the snaps were perfect either.

Congratulations Matt on doing your job - and being paid relatively handsomely to do it.

[PonyBoy]

Being a good place holder isn't easy. Glad he can " Haack" it. 

😉

[StHustle]

Now if he can only get his punting together...

Haack is terrible at punting. Glad he can hold a ball though.

Wonder why they never tried the backup QB as a holder with Bojo. Id rather still have Bojo if he didn't have to be the placeholder too.

Agreed.

 

But I don’t think Bojo was a disaster. He made a mistake here or there but people overreacted to the few times he misheld a field goal.

 

I would take Bojo back in an instant.

How do kickers become stars? Big game game winning kicks? Bass might be the best kicker in football right now.

[msw2112]

You have to pick your poison.  Haack is a better placeholder on FGs and PATs, but he clearly doesn't have the blig leg to flip field position that Bojo has.  In a couple Green Bay games I have seen, Bojo has launched some huge kicks, but there have also been compaints by PK Mason Crosby about his poor holds.

[TBBills]

Awesome... He can do the easy part of his job. Like it's hard to do.

 

 

Now if only he can do the part that matters most.

I don’t think that’s true.

 

One announcer made a comment that maybe Crosby’s poor kicking day was because of laces, but I dont think Crosby every said anything. 

 

Upon review, the snap was bad by the LS and Bojo had to quickly spin the ball.

Isn't his goal to make the routine plays routinely?    

[JohnBonhamRocks]

He can hold the ball…

 

so long his punt gets blocked!

[unbillievable]

Why can't the long snapper, holder, and kicker go off on their own and practice all day, instead of standing on the sidelines?

[Rockinon]

Aside from his shanking punts occasionally, apparently he has great hang time on them and very few yards after the catch. His usefulness is significantly greater than his predecessor.

[Royale with Cheese]

Is this the first ever shoutout to a holder?

Agree, he’s one of those players, who for some reason, I continually expect the worst out of.

It makes more sense to me to try someone like Taiwan jones instead. A better athlete and he can probably get enough reps in to handle it. Plus gives you a lot of fake punt options.

Seriously. It’s probably like a 60/40 split holding/punting.

[Rigotz]

The holds have been great.

The punting has been below average.

 

We lost the Steelers game because he took an hour to punt.

I'm not ready to give him a "shout out" for doing 1 of his 2 responsibilities well.
