    I don't know if this was posted elsewhere or if its old as to be honest I was just starting to wrap my head around the fact that Gase was our coach and now he is our Gm. Anyone have new about this punter I have no clue or info on him ? Can he play center ? Can he kick worth a damn ? Do I need to go to the Bills board ?

    Championship!!!

    Competition for Edwards. No big deal, they just weren’t going to give Edward free ride to the final 53.

    But why not, do punters need to be challenged hard, he can be a little erratic but thought he got that under control last season, this just seems like a huge waste of time, are they just going to punt at each other from opposite ends of the training pitch all day long?

    He's punts with both legs at the same time. It's a feat!

  7. Theres always a second punter in camp for the sake of ST practice reps,competition & truthfully a contigency plan if the incumbent punter gets hurt

    Pretty sure all or most teams will carry 2 punters into training camp. Add competition so these guys are working under some pressure and also because one punter can’t supply all the reps for punt returners.
    This is really no big deal at all. Completely normal

    A good punter is vital.

    Field position is key and forcing offenses to go the length of the field is vital. That’s how Miami beat us the first time last year. They had a great punt to start the game and Sam was starting inside our 10 almost every drive.

    Plus, teams need two legs in TC so their starter doesn't wear his leg out before the season even starts.

    It's a "practice field" not a "training pitch," and it's a "center" not a "centre." LOL:p

    Yes, but we have Edwards, I can't remember us having 2 punters in camp in the last few years, not saying we didn't have two just I can't remember 2.

    Fair enough, I just can't remember us having two punters or signing a punter last season to do the same job.

    Obviously I have never ever noticed bar once when the Edwards and somebody else possible another Aussie competed for the job. Again I could be making this shit up in my head lol
