RoyBatty is alive Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Unlike prior regimes in the past we are leaving very little to chance, at least factors we can't control. Odds of him kicking for the Bills in the next two weeks, probably 1 in 100. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 He was a Kicker/Punter in college as well. So Here will be the Camp Leg competition for Bass once season is over after the Super Bowl win and the PS players sign their futures contracts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 As several have already said, this is clearly a "just in case" move, much like the Stills and Freeman signings. Good to have players already in the building, through COVID protocols, and up to speed with the team in case they are needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearNorth Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I thought either in the Indy game or the Ravens game, that Bass had to make a saving tackle, perhaps that's when he hurt his hand? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until now I didn't know he had hands. And I didn't much care either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSJayDee Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 A shoulder could definitely effect a kicking; an elbow maybe. A hand I doubt, though. Just an emergency Covid-type signing. Either that or after going 1-3 in FGs they wanna give the kid some competition. -jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be many things, he could have scurvy that manifested first in his hand and is now hitting his joint, he could have frostibite and is refusing treatement. If you want to get fantastical about it, he could have greyscale and slowly be turning into a statue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnNord Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 It seems like the Bills use the PS as a contingency plan. Many of the players added seem to be there in the event of injury. This addition is the perfect example. If anything happens to Bass, he’s the K we’ll call up without having to hire someone quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I wonder if he hurt his hand at the end of the Ravens game, where he was in the air after punting, and was roughed. We were happy that that meant the Bills kept the ball and the game was over, but he landed on his hand and might have hurt it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
