OT - Zach Feagles

[Pentagon Cane]

Thats false.

A Punter that can consistently pin teams -20 will win you alot of games.

Went to a coaches conference years ago. Frank Beamer was the guest speaker and he went over special teams and impact to field position. He had stats from every part of the field an offense takes over and probability of scoring. It is dramatic.

Why be a jerk? Blame the coaches. We did not even have a walk on who was marginally competent. That is unacceptable for a P5 school.

April Fools!


/no seriously f*ck him

 

[GladeCane]

He lost us games convince me otherwise.

Fortunately for us, his terrifically bad performance and Richt's insistence on staying with him led to everyone starting to question coach's decision making.

 

[UMFarArcher]

You guys are ruthless.

He's in barber college.

 

[Stylie]

He was awesome.

 

[Tad Footeball]

He lost us games convince me otherwise.

So did Badgley. I guess this means Feagles will somehow end up being a fairly popular pro.

 

[Papo]

He lost us games convince me otherwise.

No argument here sir.

 

[Dwinstitles]

Never heard of her

 

[MotoSniper]

Fecals

The last update I saw was that he was transferring in an attempt to play elsewhere. However, with the silence since then I think it's safe to assume that he's probably not getting any legitimate offers; I mean, there is roughly 2 years of tape on him proving he can't kick at the college level.

As a follow up - I do feel bad for the kid. Son of a Miami/NFL punting legend, expected to come in as a true freshman and replace Vogel who has had a respectable NFL career so far. Also came in right at the tipping point of the "is Miami back" craze. A lot of pressure for a kid who doesn't appear to have the mental fortitude to handle the big stage we were on. Developed a case of the "yips" and was never able to get rid of it.

U hit the head of the nail with a hammer. A lot of Bubba struggle last year was bc he was young and maybe lost some of his confidence playing at this level. Confidence is huge with kickers and punters. That's why I'm glad we landed Hedley, bc, from the looks of it, one thing he doesn't lack is confidence.

If you have to rely upon a punter to win games for you then you suck as a team

Special teams are a 1/3 of the game. And field position is crucial.

He lost us games. Fact

 

[3FW]

Has all the physical ability, it's all in his head. Miami was probably not the best place for him.

 

[Geddy Lee]

I swear if I hear he’s a Cane for life and all that ****. No he was the worst punter I’ve ever seen and he cost Miami games with his 14 yard punts.

 

[RVACane]

He sucked in high school

Just more evidence in another area of how messed up the last staff was.

 

[TemplarCane]

You guys need therapy. He’s gone.

 

[Earnest T. Bass]

If you have to rely upon a punter to win games for you then you suck as a team

Tell that to Ray Guy and the Raiders.

 

[OptimusCreampie]

Tell that to Ray Guy and the Raiders.

What about Johnny Hekker for the rams

 

[COCane4Life]

Feagles was a liability. Good luck to the kid but as far as punting goes, it’s time to hang up the cleats.

 

[RichterScale]

First time I ever heard of the "yips" was when Rick Ankiel went from a solid starting pitcher to a guy who couldn't get within 5 feet of his catcher. Literally lost his accuracy over night and never recovered from it.

Your golf example is perfect though - Charles Barkey has probably spent a $million+ trying to get the yips out of his swing.

Steve Sax says hello

So did Badgley. I guess this means Feagles will somehow end up being a fairly popular pro.

Is that a joke? Badgely had a very solid career at Miami.
