Buffalo signs kicker for pre-season game

New Kicker-Caden Davis

 

Ray Davis might still kick a bit vs Giants.

I know there is understandable concern among fans that Bass might not be ready for opening day but it seems to me if this was a real threat the Bills would be signing someone more established than this kid. They have been using the jugs machine mostly at camp, and yes, Davis a bit. Again, my expectation  is the diagnosis is such that Bass will be ready before opening day.

Well, if you're going to bring in a guy, bring in one with potential.

Anyone know how Bass has been doing in camp? Is there any chance at all this guy steals the job?

He's been out with "pelvic soreness" which could be any number of things.  What I know is he's going to have to kick before week 1 and look back to normal. I also suspect we will carry a kicker on the PS even if Bass is ready for week 1.

He kicks a ball 30 times a day for a living, how the heck does he get injured 😆

He kicks way more than that, and also does a lot of training.  Overuse, hernias, general wear and tear of moving parts.  Honestly, we haven't talked about this enough and the Bills have been very cagey about what's actually wrong.

The biggest knock against Davis is that he's relatively new to the game of football.  That means more likelihood of some upside to me.  Perhaps he can improve on his accuracy.

One of the most accurate kickers of all time just finished getting a massage and is ready to play!

 

Or go to jail

And he was an abysmal kicker last year. Definitely did not have a happy ending.

He looks like the friend of the popular bad guy in some 80s teen skiing movie.

This is why the Bills are always broke. We sign scrub kickers, pay big bucks than waive after one preseason  game.

Fingers crossed he nuts like 4 from 50+. Would make things interesting.

He was moving around MUCH better after word of kicker tryouts and the signing of Caden Davis
