Honestly, I feel like he was the best punter we've had since Moorman. Think back to the last 10 years ... who was better? Matt Haack? Corey Bojorquez? Colton Schmidt? Shawn Powell?

 

He had a few beautiful punts last year inside the 5 yard line and some boomers too.

 

It was a money thing. Correct move, but he wasn't a bad punter.

 

Yea he had a poor 2023 but a very good 2022 and 2024. Definitely the best punter since Moorman. Although only a punter.

Good,we need to improve.

sleepy beane at it again took a nap and cut his punter

[Royale with Cheese]

Does this mean that we are going for it on every 4th down?  Riverboat Sean.

Yep. Punters help improve teams.

Hopefully we go sign Punt God back...oh wait...

 

Too soon?

It’s always. And I mean always too soon to waste breath or keystrokes on punters. So yes.

74 yard punt..in tampa and ofcourse a couple years ago, but Carmada has some upside.

I really liked Sam Martin and thought he was pretty solid for us, but definitely seemed like a potential cut option for some cap savings. I think they really like Jake Camarda and want to give him a shot to win the starter's job. They'll still bring in competition (draft pick or a vet), but I think they envisioned Camarda when they offered him a Futures deal.

We won’t need a punter next year so…..this is what happens.

Things are going to start happening now!

This is an outrage and the biggest mistake an organization could ever make. 

 

I will no longer be a Bills fan and will instead be a fan of wherever Sam signs. 

 

Sincerely, 

Don Martin

LONG OVERDUE. 

[DabillsDaBillsDaBills]

Not surprising, he was a pretty bad punter.

 

20th in gross average

27th in net average

T-16th most punts inside the 20

T-11th most touchbacks

 

Had a blocked punt returned for a TD that cost us a game. 

 

Oh, and that was an IMPROVEMENT on his 2023 season.

This has not been a pleasant date the last two years.  It begins with Martin.

Yep. I’m not sure what others are saying upthread that Martin was pretty good / had a good 2024.

 

Was I watching the same games?

 

Martin’s motion was sloooowww, and it cost us the Rams game with the block & TD. There were a few others that were very nearly blocked too.

 

Only concern is the holding duties for Bass, but TBH a new guy might be an upgrade there too.
