If Nick Rose kicked in the league, Dicker should be able to hang on too, especially since he’s a really good punter too.

Hook ‘em

I could see a team using him for punts and kickoffs and then having a FG specialist.  He has a really strong leg and his touchback% was always good but his fg accuracy was always pretty mediocre.

With his skills, he will be in the league for many years.  What an asset for a team having a player that can do both jobs and do them well.

Yep, there’s quite a bit of value in having a player that can do both. You can use that extra roster spot in a lot of different ways

What a cool page.  There are some names from the past for sure.  And look at Chuck Howley at the bottom in emergency punter situation.  He got a 37 yard punt, not bad.

I was just about to bring him up. I remember one year when Danny White was injured or benched or something -- I'm guessing 1986 -- but while the backup (Gary Hogeboom, I think?) played QB, he kept punting. And on one 4th down punt situation, White looked up, saw a wall of jerseys running away from him, so he just limped his way to the 1st down marker out of bounds. Didn't help an otherwise shitty season though.

Really thought his punting/kicking combo would have given him a leg up.

Bering mediocre, at best, at two things is far less valuable than being above average at neither.

I may have to pull out a pen and paper to sketch out a diagram of this. Or is this one of those things where you were supposed to start with “Confucius say…”

He’s not either of those. His punting and kicking stats last year are top 15 in both categories.

Stats schmatz. He was below average after the OU kick. Missed way too many makable FG to be considered a legit NFL PK. Seems like a good dude though

He showed a lot more promise as a punter than a place kicker.  He might have an NFL caliber punting leg.  He's just too damn inconsistent to be a place kicker in the league.

Hopefully his agent is on the phone with Buff already.

The Bills released punter Matt Haack, the team's punter in 2021, on Monday, naming Araiza the team's punter for the 2022 season. The team currently has no punters on the roster. Quarterback Matt Barkley punted four times for the Bills against the Panthers.
