to be fair, at the start of this conversation he hadn't any punts blocked at all.

To be fair, the start of this conversation is you brought up 3-step punt and you said he had at least two blocked punt.

 

However, the first “blocked” punt in this game is officially counted as a 27 yard punt and the play is disrupted by an unblocked rusher. See the video I just posted.

Kay. Doesn't matter. Haacks didn't matter either. It's fine.

To be fair, it sounds like there's a turd in the punch bowl

Don't bother.  The unblocked rusher and the bad snap are all on Araiza.

Important to know how the stats were compiled.

Those were only punts in between the 30-yard lines (hence, placement-oriented).

Well to be fair, you should really only ask a god for help if it's absolutely necessary.

18 pages for a 6th round punter … amazing

Keenum needs to work with the offense in practice. They need a dedicated holder, from the ST squad, IMO.

Why?  BU QBs hold all the time.

Remember that guy? Williams something, I think. Might have started with an “M”?

 

But THIS guy can PUNT!   

 

EDIT: Punting = not something we do often, but very important to do it faster than I can go up and get a beer!!!

why would Baltimore draft the 2nd best punter 50 positions earlier than Araiza and Tampa Bay the 3rd best punter 47 spots earlier?

 

Something else to consider, Araiza is great at kickoffs and can handle field goals and PAT's if our kicker was to ever sustain an injury during a game. Another luxury most teams do not have.

Araiza may have the strongest leg, but lacks holding experience which I guess they may have valued more.

Almost as many pages as the Cook thread.  He was picked 4 hours ago

 

He'll be the 2nd highest selling jersey in Buffalo this summer.

He has a role. Teach Araiza everything he knows about holding and then get cut.
