Expand Preach, brother. Our biggest camp drama is a player who will likely only be used 25 times this season. 5 Quote

I think they had like 54-55 last season and went some games without punting at all. So 25 seems a bit low to me, but would be great. I'd guess less than last season but not by a lot, so I will say 45 punts for the season 1 Quote

I edited my response right after posting to say "25-35" but I don't think it will be much higher than that. The Bills' offense is very, very good and look at how they finished the season. I think McD has gotten more aggressive and with a kicker like Bass we are almost always going to be in FG range if the offense gets even a couple of first downs. Punting is not going to be a critical part of this team, this year. Quote

Expand They are going to punt more than that...they just broke the franchise record for fewest punts in 2020 with 41 in a 16 game season. I doubt they record less than that in a season with an extra game. Last year they punted 52 times. Quote

I’d guess it’s going to be around the same number. Expand Ok, so I did some research. The Oilers have the record for fewest punts in a 16-game season; they punted 34 times in 1990. The Chiefs only punted 40 times last year. I'll revise my Bills forecast to 40 punts because of the reasons I stated up thread. In any event -- not a lot. Fewer than three per game. Quote

I've talked to embroidery folks about putting a high school logo on a hat like that, but they were a little concerned about causing issues because the hat I happened to want the work done on was waterproof.

Or maybe we carry two punters. If we punt from the 35 or more from our end of the field, Araiza punts. Closer to midfield or from the opponents' side, it would be Haack 😆 Expand Agreed. It was recognized that Araiza had a huge leg, but flawed technique. The arc on his punts is consistently too low, and he had little regard for trying to pin opponents inside the 20 when punting from near midfield or closer to the goalline. He also tended to get the ball off so quickly that his teammates had less time to penetrate on punt coverage. I think the Bills understood all this when they drafted him, and they would need to try and coach him up on his shortcomings. It's early. He's got the whole summer to work on it. Quote
