Dont blame Baxa

Baxa is absolute trash and we should hand out flyers around campus for an open tryout. Let that kid buy his airfare home. There has been zero accountability. He was gifted the job as a freshmen and the job will remain his even after costing us the first two games of the season. Not saying we played well, but we’re 2-0 with a serviceable kicker.

This special team play is beyond bad bad. HIGE liability! Cost us both games, needs to be addressed ASAP. Will be interesting to see what Manny does about it.
 
I like Manny buy why in the **** don't we have a special teams coach? Evidently they don't think it's important, but it's cost them 2 games!!! Don Soldinger would take the job for free!!!

Before the last kick, he was just standing on the sidelines. He wasn't trying to practice kick or get his rythum right.

Then they put him on the field, and hes a deer in front of the headlights.

THIS!! My dad and I are watching, and the dude is sitting there sh*tting his pants. If you ever watch good kickers, they’re kicking it into the net until it’s time to go out there. We had 2 TO’s so there was never going to be a hurry up FG. I like our coaches, but some of their mistakes are amateur hour.

At this point you have to have flyers in the dorms. Gotta have some kid who's played soccer who could walk on and make 25 yard field goals.

The look on Baxa's face before the last kick told me he wasn't gonna make it.

Its not only baxa missing kicks the whole special teams is a joke donaldson got pushed into the kicker. Yall said the same **** abt feagles just get rid of feagles and everything will be cool. Same **** this year minus feagles

I mean, in that case, Feagles WAS the issue. Punt team's been pretty good with Headly not shanking every other kick. Replace Bubba with a decent kicker, and we're probably 2-0 right now.
 
He was missing badly all during pregame warmups to the toon of even missing the net behind the goal posts
 
Its now occurring to me that Baxa was probably only recruited because the recruiting sites ranked him hi

Baxa was hyperventilating while lining up to take that last kick. I knew then he was going to miss it

Get this dude to the sports psychologist ASAP. In the mean time, we have a walkon kicker named "Turner Davidson" who has a mullet and a thousand yard stare. 0 chance that dude folds under pressure.
 
He slung that 50 like a mf plenty of leg so who knows but there’s definitely a breakdown on that unit and it needs to be fixed ASAP as we could be 2-0 despite all the other mistakes. How about just scoring touchdowns or is that asking too much.

When they showed him on the sidelines during the drive ( and I feel for the kid) you could kind of see it in his eyes he was doubting he could make it.

Its the staff that doesn't believe in special teams. Hire a special teams coach. If u dont believe me When patke is working with the linebackers who is working with the special teams unit? We heard reports baxa is outside kicking by himself. It **** sure shows too. Jeff thomas muffed a punt but he is still out there. Cant block or kick a field goal

****. I just hate people "who heard reports" and can't name a source. Heck, I heard just the opposite, that a nfl kicker has been working with him. Lol
