Alex Bauman Appreciation Thread

[MiamiNights1]

This dude is flat trash and has been all year. He literally made a point shaving move. Get him tf out of here.

Alex Bauman didn't recruit himself to Miami. Let it go guys. Thank him for his service and both parties move forward.

He’s a senior thankfully

While that's true, they also assumed that he would operate in good faith. At this point that is highly questionable given the things I saw through out the entire year not just this past game.

Made his mistakes for sure but he had a key block on fletcher td and make a key 22 yard catch on miamis last touchdown drive too

How many of you were holding your breath expecting a hold? AAAAANNNNNDDD, why do you think Dawson only called that outside zone 2-3 more times?

Here’s what I find

 

[CaneTheGaytors]

There was a third and long where we needed to convert and Malachi was 3 yards short and he totally ignored a block that could’ve broken him free. Dude needs to be on some ADHD meds.

I said the same thing too. I believe that was the 3rd down right before the blocked punt.

ON ******* PUNT SAFE

I thought we had 2 blockers in the backfield not 3…it might as well been 2..my mistake.

 

[Rellyrell]

My ? is, being that this off season he was heralded as “sneaky good”, & he got so many snaps, what does this say about our TE room?

 

[BS85]

“You are only as strong as your weakest link”. I never thought it would hit so hard.

I had this same exact thought today, the one really bad player Miami has lost them a natty....just crazy

 

[skeeter]

He did have a great block on Fletcher's long td run…Sealed the edge perfectly

No idea what the **** he was doing on the punt. Brutal

 

[caneingville]

It's not crazy to say that Lofton's injury cost UM a championship. Lofton is aces on ST. He has good footwork and knows his assignment. The punt unit had not allowed a block all season. Bauman got those snaps and didn't do his job. And on that last play Bauman was probably the most wide open but I can't fault Beck for thinking, "I can't throw to that guy."

I said this to my husband on the drive back to the hotel last night.

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

The kid did his best.

He's a Cane.

I will never blame players when they don't have the skillset to be on the field but they are forced to play- especially when there are other options.

Anyone ever heard of Vinny Gonzalez? One of the QBs currently on Miami's roster. 6th or 7th string I think. Let's say Beck had to sit out a play and Cristobal put Gonzalez in the game to take a snap and he just f#cks it up for a fumble return.

am I going to criticize the kid for the mistake? No, it's .1% his fault and 99.9% the coach for putting him in when he had plenty of other options. Bauman could be replaced with a WR or OL depending on the situation and it would have been a better choice the vast majority of the game. Nothing against the kid, that was on whoever decided he should play.

TE room is awful. Don’t know what’s left in portal but needs a complete makeover

A few of us have been saying this, others say we made it this far with terrible TE so its fine.. Absolutely mind numbing mindset.. That room should ALWAYS have NFL ready talent, we are gonna go atleast a couple more seasons with out that and dont seem to be in portal for it.

Josh Pate isn’t a conspiracy theorist so this is surprising

It is such an awful display.. Its like there is absolutely no way unless it was on purpose..

BREAKING: Leaked image shows Alex Bauman in a poker game with Chauncey Billups. Chauncey Billups was allegedly a featured player in an underground mafia poker ring.

It is such an awful display.. Its like there is absolutely no way unless it was on purpose..

And it wasn't like there was another defender anywhere in sight coming at him ... what an a$$. Shouldn't be allowed back in Hecht
