Bauman

[TerragonSix]

It will be one of those low effort plays we will all remember; like letting that GT player streak on 4th down and just standing and staring at him doing it. (DJ Ivey)

It's the national championship game. Low effort/No effort should not exist. It doesn't get any bigger than that.

I think someone said he was getting another year which is disgusting

Please dear god no

 

[Stingarov]

Not a person to bash players, but off with his head.

Me either tbh but **** this guy

 

[TerragonSix]

Please dear god no

Bud, I ain't saying I could be worth a ****, but I could put my body and front of a guy to protect the punter better than he could.

Sure, I would be decimated with broken ribs and a concussion and put on a stretcher, but I would've blocked the guy.

And it would've been worth it. Anything to win.

Like what? You’re kidding? Wake the **** up.

You also don’t know what the call was in the huddle. Maybe there was a miscommunication. Again, I’m not excusing the effort, but people are acting like he’s the reason we lost the game. That’s just not true.

They score on this play and we lost by a score. An argument can certainly be made. But an earlier comment you made, he didn't just make a bad play...he hasn't done much of anything this season. For a TE, he has Mr. Smithers hands. I don't like going after players and I agree we shouldnt on a message board, but this was a bad pick up and it's hard to find the value in his production.

 

[Stingarov]

Worst Cane player ever?

Like legit worse than #7 last year.

oof, #7 last year. Had forgotten him.

 

[caneworld]

Punter took way too long to kick the ball and walked himself outside of his protective wall.

What wall... we had a swinging gate

 

[Calinative]

I mean he was CLEARLY the by far worst starter on this offense, and it wasn't close. Lofton was better but not until second half of season.

And this is why I was begging for Portal TE.

We lost the special teams battle by 10 points. You won’t beat the #1 team doing that.

Sad thing is, pretty sure Lofton is usually in that spot. Never thought losing Lofton would play out like that.

 

[Ghandi]

O’Connor cost us more than Bauman if you want to blame anyone. We scored 5 minutes after the block, not even.

Really?

Bauman had one drop, a few missed blocks on screens and runs, and the blocked punt.

But sure, it’s O’Connors fault.

Bruised sternum according to our resident doctor, should have played.

 

[DubCaliCane]

Worst starter we’ve had in years

 

[caneholic88]

This guy is going down as one of our most hated players ever

 

[Imukat]

Lineman can't chase and tackle - i hate when linemen are used back there.

You can't have 3 upmen and allow your punter to roll right if the blockers don't angle that way or roll with him. Bauman whiffed on the block but he probably didn't expect the punter to be way over there either. It's a bad formation and worse execution. Blame all around. Bauman's was just the most obvious and worst of the 3.

I was telling my coworker that all the Aussie punters angle off to the right. That was all on Bauman. He had one job and failed.

.....ehhhhh last year's defense had some HoFs in this category on it.

 

[MiamiCanesFan77]

Bauman might be the worst player to suit up for UM… since?

I can’t think of anyone immediately.

Kirby Freeman?

 

[miamimarc]

Me either tbh but **** this guy

I don't know what's going on in his head, but the result on the field is for all to see, and I hate to say it, looks like lazy trash - like he is mechanical in effort, but blind in reality. Perhaps "unawareness" is more palatable, but I revert to the original description. And I've seen his Tulane highlights. Where is THAT ****? He doesn't look to fight for passes, win contested catches and, quite literally, has NO peripheral vision it seems. Dafuq?

Kernobyl would be the right answer, but he never played for anything that mattered.
