eball Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 On Sunday it looked to me like Bass simply didn’t account enough for the L-to-R wind in the direction of his two (one) missed kicks. I’ll give the guy a pass for his first live game action in the NFL and say he’s going to correct that. He was, after all, essentially 6-for-7 on a very windy day.

And so were his 3 other FG attempts. The kid was kicking off the inside of his foot pushing everything. Hopefully he figured out the problem this week. Otherwise he may not be coming back on the team flite from Miami after the game.

Team flite? Not sure you know what that word means but flite is a synonym for quarrel.

strive_for_five_guy Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 I mean golfers have caddies, this is kind of a similar concept.
billsfan89 Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 I assumed a kicking coach and a punting coach already existed and were generally speaking a part of the special teams coaching staff. If that isn't the case then it absolutely should be.

My argument is to preserve and maximize the Rooks potential. His kicks are all hammered a bit right. Even, if but for a shirt time, it can help. Then again, if it ain't broke...

Hopefully he will be consistent with it.

Apparently, only 4-5 teams in the NFL have a designated kicking coach or consultant. The point of the article is that unlike any other position, if kickers/punters have a bad kick, there is no one on the staff that they can actually sit down with in game and intimately discuss mechanics/techniques, what may be off and help get their head right. Special teams coordinators typically don't have a kicking background. Could be helpful for the Bills. Thoughts? Wow I’m actually surprised to hear that , I would have thought that every NFL team has a coach especially when you have a rookie kicker , or when you need that on site kick , every game is so close that a kick can win or lose a game for you Edited September 20, 2020 by Putin

Maybe he feels more comfortable that way. Hopefully he will be consistent with it. I thought he was pushing it a bit, however, "draw" may be the correct term. Ultimately, I think the power in his kicks cause it to appear that way, and it is just how he kicks. A kicking coach may help control the power. Who knows? I'm impressed, with the power, regardless. Just appears like it may be a bit wild, for now.

Seriously why did you feel the need to tell me that? I bet you were one of those nerds in high school who got a swirley in the toilet. I spell words in a way that looks better. Just like Thru versus Through. I seriously can not stand this message board. Between the nonsense about Covid and Social Justice on here for the past 3-6 months, and BS from clowns like you, I am done!! This place used to be about football football football. Don't know what happened. But it has become unreadable. I would rather spend my free time on an online gambling site then this nonsense. Wow it is painful to read. (Other then Yolo, GunnerBill and a few others just not worth the Paup's time) Bam.

I got a varsity letter in Football and was officer in varsity club just showing you know little in multiple subjects. Too bad the mods here do not ban the whiners "I am done". I am sure you will post again and whine again.
buffalo2218 Posted September 23, 2020 Posted September 23, 2020 I guess the Bills have become fixated on strong and inaccurate. Luckily, Josh seems to have fixed that issue. Bass will get better as well. Between Bass' leg and Allen's arm, I'm not sure which one would send the football further
