first_and_ten Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 I think he was too good to pass up, so they drafted him. Simple as that. Haus is as good as gone.

As a rookie, he couldn't beat out the incumbent, was cut and went to Washington eventually. Hopkins had been hyped, too. This is a tough year to try to take Hauschka's job. Big gamble for McD to take him. McD doesn't want to be in the middle of the season and discover the kid can't hack it. On the other hand, McBeane like their guys, not inherited guys. Fun contest. I thought Hopkins was going to be named the starter and then he got hurt which led to them signing Carpenter, who kicked well enough that they'd stuck with him even when Hopkins was cleared. 1

Straight Hucklebuck Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 We can’t be limited to 49 yard field goals. Live through the growing pains of Bass and get your long term kicker. 1

He tried to kick it across the room and missed. 2 Bills players that will never make it to the Bills PS or get picked up within a week are Jake Fromm and Tyler Bass.

muppy Posted June 26, 2020 Author Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) I have a question for the board: does anyone know if Bass can punt? I recall reading about that somewhere but am not sure if its true that he indeed can. The Bills braintrust Love versatility so if he Can that seems to me another reason to keep him around? I am not sure he wouldn't be claimed off the Practice squad if they don't keep him on the full time roster. Edited June 26, 2020 by Muppy
FieldGeneral Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 What ultimately decides which kicker a team decides to keep? Other positions are obvious why a team keeps one player over another. With kickers, we rarely see kicking situations that matter. Is it struggling in practice? A team would rather keep the more expensive option because they know what they get from him? Punters are slightly easier because these guys shank punts all the time, but it's rare to see a camp kicker in key moments.
ComradeKayAdams Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 On 6/23/2020 at 9:07 PM, Muppy said: the article held high praise for the young man I hope he brings it and leaves No doubt about who to keep, I would guess he'd be snatched out of the practice squad if he is near as good as this article supposes Yes, one of those other 31 teams will almost definitely pick Bass up as soon as he’s released. The best-case scenario for the Bills would be to have both kickers perform really well throughout preseason, followed by a Hauschka trade for a late-round 2021 pick. Bass is the physically superior talent with a longer career ahead. By all accounts, he has the mental fortitude to handle the pressure of the position and the work ethic to quickly learn the wind nuances at New Era Field. The Vedvik versus Bojorquez battle is also interesting. Vedvik seems to have a stronger leg and offers more versatility as a kicker/kickoff specialist. 1

Why do people think the 71% fg last year is not relevant? Was he injured? Was there some other reason?

Nextmanup Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Is his name "Bass" pronounced like the fish? Or like the 4 stringed musical instrument?
