TBBills Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Only 2 kickers in the NFL haven't missed a kick yet. Most kickers have missed at least 2. Bass is doing just fine, good to go back to these overreactions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont Stop Billeiving Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 On Friday's Locked On Bills podcast, Joe Marino talked about Corey B and how his struggles with holding were at fault for 2 of Tyler Bass' missed FGs (one vs the Jets and the other last week vs Vegas). The laces were either facing in or right on both kicks. Joe spoke to a former NFL kicker who said that he immediately identified the direction of the missed kicks (wide right) based on the holds and said that quality NFL holders only mess up with a laces-in hold once in every 4-5 games. Interesting to consider that Bass has missed three FGs I believe, two were on bad holds and the other was possibly an incorrect call. I preached patience after Week 1 (also thought the poor/windy conditions were a factor that day) and after seeing Haushka implode today, I still think we made the right call a few weeks in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys can snap with such precision that the holder should be able to catch it in the same spot every time. So may not be Bono’s fault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the long snapper responsible for Bojo’s lackluster punting as well? 😆 But seriously it’s the holder’s job to compensate for the snap. I do agree with the sentiment that if Bojo can’t punt well AND can’t get the laces out, it’s hard to see why we’re keeping him around. Perhaps we need Barkley to stop waiving the pom poms and start holding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if the ball isn’t snapped that way, the holder should still (have to) rotate it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But whoever our LS is (Ferguson?), he is partially to blame. Re Bojo, what’s sort of amazing about him is how pervasive his negative plays are. Usually a bad punter is a bad punter in some ways— eg, weak leg strength. Bojo kicks balls too low, too short, through the end zone; he drops the balls, He gets punts blocked, he holds poorly on FGs, he gets injured. It’s sort of amazing how he is bad in so many myriad ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsgoteam Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I think its Bojo. I am not going to check the timeline tonight. But hasn't Ferguson been with the Bills for awhile or atleast been with the team prior to Bojo. Just as a guy on the couch, I have personally noticed that it seems FGs since Bojo has been holder have been much more of a wild card. I think he messed up alot of Hauska's misses as well. I will say this again, as I have before, can maybe Barkley do a better job at holding. Personally I don't think it could worse then Bojo. I think he is the worse holder the Bills have had since I've had Sunday Ticket and havnt missed a game. (11 years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideNine Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 The other side of the equation is the Bills don't have to use a roster spot for someone who can kick deep on kickoffs. The kid made an open field tackle on a long return if I remember, but it was after he missed a chip shot and was short on the kickoff. He's a rookie.

BornAgainBillsFan Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'm thrilled we have TBass. That tackle on the kickoff this past week was alternate universe to Hauschka's "Ole" attempt during the Dolphins TD return last year. He will get more and more comfortable with every passing game. In fact, I was hoping McD would let our guy try the 60 yarder after Josh's bonehead sack last week (especially since we have a punter who apparently doesn't know how to angle his kicks to avoid the end zone). How much confidence would that have given the kid?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngbills Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I can only assume the coaches see him in practice. But in game action his kicks are all over the place. Rarely is it right through the uprights. Seems like he has leg strength but accuracy issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
