die hard bills fan Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Just wondering, does Araiza's lack of holding actually make it easier for him to learn now and become a good holder. It seems every kicker likes the ball to be placed and held a certain way and Bass is probably no exception. Araiza can now learn from the start how Bass wants it held without having to re-learn or change any bad habits. Just a thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is that no one has seen him try, and he has the entire summer to get it right. The only thing I would add to his training would be to dunk the balls in water before the snap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I'll say it again, but I can't recall a single punter before (or after for that matter) Bojo who had a problem holding for FGs or EPs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened with the Chargers Drew Kaser. He averaged like 48 on punts and got cut because he could not hold. He is out of the league. But generally it is never an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you see saying, or even implying, that? I couldn't find one post that concluded he couldn't learn. And since he has never held before, I can't even imagine anyone saying he is horrible at it. You are making this up. The questions have been "what if?", which are perfectly acceptable questions that carry no judgement whatsoever. It's possible, not likely, but possible, he doesn't get it down in time. Biils fans know it's possible since we have experienced it relatively recently. So we are discussing it. That's ALL I see.

Not that it's a "possibility", only that he can't. Don't act like people are saying "maybe". The fact is that there is video showing him holding for a FG, but posters still insist he can't. It's not being discussed, it's being posted like a proven fact. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be happy to post one if it might create some controversy and help get this thread about the 6th round punter past 100 pages! How long was the Mario Williams thread? We should just shoot for the record! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will def be rooting for Matt When I was in high school I had a SD Aztecs t-shirt I got from Champion that was my favorite shirt because it was so random - I wore it all the time.

Like it's some type of brain ***** that's nearly impossible to do. It's something fairly easy to get good at doing in a short period of time.

FilthyBeast Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) At first I rolled my eyes with this pick but if he ends up being a stud punter and fixing a problem that has plagued this team in recent years than it will probably be perceived as a steal down the road. If anything was actually surprised he wasn't the first punter drafted and Baltimore chose the PSU kid instead earlier.

You say there are 25 pages of it, and I haven't read a single one. Now I haven't read every post in this thread, so maybe I missed one or two.
