Toyo321 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) I believe Bass is going to have a really bad year this year. He is not a given anymore, at all, I don't trust him either when or if we need a crucial kick. That missed kick against KC really rubbed me the wrong way. Bass is at best a 50/50 kicker at 50 yards. Butker was house money at 50 yards and more and he out kicked Bass in our own stadium. I just don't think Bass can be counted on this year in a close game to tie it or win it outright. He has developed a weird motion on all his kicks where it travels 20 to 30 yards and had an immediate fade to the right. I don't know if he can fix this and it is somehow related to how he is striking the ball. Just not optimistic about him at all this year.

GASabresIUFan Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I think Bass' issues may stem from Martin as a holder. I think it's one of the reason they brought Haack back. 1 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there ever a hold that looked bad? Nope. People are turning holding into some mythical artform. Any idiot can do it. We'll anyone but Romo. Bass was awful last year but he already signed an extension. He's not going anywhere. Only hope is he gets better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Bass O Matic was a great nickname- and one of the greatest skits in SNL history. I do, however share some of the OPs concern with Bass. Perhaps a holder change will help, but they need to have another plan in case he’s “ lost it “. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is zero chance a holder change will help lol The holds were fine ... It's not that hard of a skill to learn Pat McAfee never held in college and got it down in the pros It's just repetitions Edited April 7 by Buffalo716 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically any idiot who played high level football.. if you can get to the NFL.. you can physically hold It's not that hard of a skill... Punters hold for kickers because specialties spend the most time together during practice... They have hours to get the repetition down Quarterbacks used to hold but due to the collective bargaining agreement... Practicing is very restricted... And quarterbacks need the majority of time practicing the playbook So they went to punters... And as long as they can catch the snap.. getting it down is not an issue It is basically a repetition thing.. not that hard of a skill for any football player The only people with the time for the repetition is punters tho Edited April 7 by Buffalo716 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBear Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I believe Bass will bounce back this year. I suspect he had some sort of lingering injury that was affecting him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
