Keep Haack as Holding Specialist (EDIT: Goodnight Sweet Prince)

When your big position battle in preseason is Punter/FG Holder, you probably are a really good football team.

 

Yeah, it’s all fun and games until somebody can’t get the snap down with the laces out to win the Super Bowl!!! 

 

I’m thinking the holder might need a back up……

The others are thinking in terms of Tiddlywinks while you're operating from the perspective of 3D chess.

 

Maybe it would be easier if you made your points using simple mathematical theorems?

 

Just a thought.

The answer lies in trigonometry,

Watching the Giants game. They just put in the backup kicker and backup holder. (Mike drop)

Are you insane? Azaria has been flawless as a holder. I would see if another team would give us a day 3 pick for Haack .

 

Huh???  I told the OP he was crazy, think you're quoting the wrong post!

Pretty sure I recall you saying Haack might be worth a roster spot when a Championship is on the line. I screenshotted it so you can’t go changing your post now. It’s ok to admit it. Haack deserves a spot for continuity in FG scoring.

I think a PPV cage match might bring in a few dollars from some of the regulars here and might make this a viable venture!

@BringBackFergy  fergy you have riled the masses here at 2bd. Half the fanbase think you have lost your mind, the other think you may have a genius thought worthy of serious consideration. That in itself makes this thread a fun read. 

 Props to you Senor Rabble err Fergy

On such a deep roster, we fortunately don't have that luxury

That decision would be both odd, and very unlikely.

Well, if it turns out to be a problem during the season, I'm sure it will be addressed long before the playoffs. I know the punter always holds these days, but certainly Keenum could (I know, I know, the whole "practice with special teams" things, but we are talking about maybe half a season here), or there's probably someone else on specials who has good hands and could pick up the job pretty quickly. 

If Araiza wins the punting competition, well, you'd have to weigh the net benefit of Better Punter/Field Position vs. Very Slightly Increased Risk of a Missed Field Goal or Extra Point.

No I never said that and where.  The only thing I'd admit to is you're an idiot!

Can never have too many special teams aces though

I can't believe @BringBackFergy still gets you guys to bite so hard on his joke threads. Come on guys. He wasn't serious. His previous efforts "Josh Allen to tight end" and "Offensive line by committee" also managed 7 or 8 pages of people reacting.

Serious question:  Why is anyone still talking about "holding" anyway?  Has there even been a single report suggesting Araiza is struggling with holding?  I mean I have not seen one.  In fact, all reports I have seen have been that he is doing just fine with it and there have been no issues in any of the games or scrimmages yet either.  

 

So why is anyone still worried about holding for FG's still?  It's literally been a non-issue since he arrived in Buffalo.

The fact that this thread has reached 6 pages (and counting) is just ridiculous…this place is gonna go nuts the first time Bass misses a kick! I think some of it is there are people who think “hasn’t done it” and assume it means “will never be able to do it.” But you’re right, there hasn’t been one single negative report but people won’t allow that thought to leave their head

People who are not serious all the time should be banned...THIS IS BUFFALO BILLS FOOTBALL....

Once a notion gets in someone's head it tends to stay.

As we all recall, the fans of other AFC East teams knew Josh could not play well with a crowd.
