Pats also received F’s. I remember one publication just had a blanket rule that kickers can’t be taken before the 7th round or something ridiculous like that.

But a dumb take all the same.

I couldn't remember that far back too clearly so I did a quick search. all I really remember was how he was never good on grass even before making an attempt on the big stage. so I took that for granted as well as nerves from the pressure the kick had on his psyche as well? Life Is a Snap for This Pro - BY MIKE DOWNEY JAN. 30, 1993 12 AM PT - LA TIMES Lingner never even started for his college team until his senior year. Now he’s a 10-year pro. He broke in with Kansas City and filled in frequently for the injured Bob Rush at center. Then the Chiefs waived him. Then New England hired him for one game and never used him. And then Buffalo signed him, used him as a snapper and special teams player for 12 games . . . and waived him at their next camp. The glamorous life of a football star. He made it back to the Bills. Snapped in 1990 with swollen, hyper-extended fingers. Made it to the Super Bowl. Made an accurate snap on Norwood’s game-deciding kick, only to see the ball drift wide of the upright. Returned the next season, snapping in Buffalo’s snow and wind. “Has proven he is nearly flawless,” reads his bio. so it would of been on Frank then? I still get a sick feeling thinking back on that kick but hold a real confidence in Bass going forward. obviously we haven't seen Bass in that situation yet but he seems to have the "it" factor and proving to be a great asset to the team. I can't say for sure whether it was all Frank so I included both. But the laces should have been out (Dan!). 1

After saying it was a bad pick they comment that he’s one of the best in the class and admit we don’t have many roster spots available. What?!

Using a late round pick, which typically has a low chance of making the roster anyway, on an incredibly important position is a bad move? Just dumb.

Scottie Norwood didn’t lose that game; he just didn’t win it. Agree wholeheartedly about Bass, though. He’s got ice in his veins.

People who don't like Beane point to his misses, but he's had some great hits. Allen, Diggs, Bass, Trubisky come to mind. After watching them on Friday, I think teams will be sorry they let Rousseau fall, and Spencer Brown will prove to be a steal in the third. Someone commented on Bass having a solid long-snapper and holder. The Matt Haack acquisition was an outstanding move to shore up the place-kicking and punting game. Like a lot of people, I wanted Bojo gone before last season - a great team just can't have an inconsistent punter or a sloppy holder, and Bojo was both. Haack seems to be the opposite. This season, Farwell is going to do some advanced play design, now that he has a quality directional punter. Last season, Haack was 24th in gross and 20th in net punting. He was four yards shorter in net than Bojo, but he was 6th in punts inside the 20, and Bojo was 25th. Haack had two touchbacks, Bojo had seven. Beane makes the sneaky, unexpected moves that make the team better. 1 3

It's going to be a great statistical move in most situations. Haangin' Haack!
