We’ve been Baxa’d in each game this season, and it’s an issue. Is it time to start going for it if it’s 4th and 7 or less each time, as opposed to trying a FG?
He has missed 4 kicks through 3 games. The snap and holder isn't the problem.He definitely needs to improve, but from my viewpoint, the snap and hold on that miss we’re terrible. Ball almost looked like it was on its side.

Kentucky just got Baxxad too.
I actually think that is legal to be quite honest. A kick is a kick whether it's held or dropped i would suspectLet the punter have a crack at it. Can't you technically drop kick? Rugby guys are good at that.
This is one of the times where I actually agree with making a thread singling out a player.
Baxa's kicking is basura, no 2 ways about it & the difference between people overreacting to Garvin & a thread like this is that Garvin 100% without doubt will play better & produce as the season progresses... Baxa on the other hand is just simply not happening.
Teams in the NFL cut their kickers sometimes on a weekly basis, obviously we can't do that here, but we need to seriously consider other options because unless we step up our Red Zone offense we cannot afford to rely on Baxa to get us FG's from even within the 30-40yd range.
We have 2 other Kickers on the team both are Walk-ons, but we should see what they got in practice this week. I don't think the staff is going to go to another Kicker, but it's seriously become a liability & could cost us games down the line.
Can't we just hire a kicker coach, and stick him with the "analyst" title to help out Bubba.
