The curious case of Bubba Baxa

@TemplarCane @bubbie72 and I were watching the game and Templar said " Canes will go down and score a TD to tie the game and Baxa will miss the extra point" ! Templar called it 5 min before it happened ! LOL

we are working on @TemplarCane to get some good stock tips and lottery numbers ! ;)

Lol Not to take away from Templar's thunder, but I said the exact same thing to my wife before the kick. I said "I have zero confidence that Bubba will make this" and then boom! t I wasn't even surprised, it was like I was expecting it.

Nah. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. After all, I did predict 34-13 Canes.

You correctly predicted the deep sideline pass to set up the VaTech TD that pushed the Hokies up to 35.

It time for this staff to take a different approach and take off the kid gloves and make him accountable. Enough is enough. Asking you place kicker to make routine EXP should not be too much to ask. He should be brought into the office and told if he doesn’t get his shot together, he’ll be benched and his scholarship revoked next year.

Do you think he's missing them on purpose? What's the point of just being nasty to someone who just can't do what they so badly want to do? Like at other positions, players are already aware that if someone else is better, they can be replaced. We apparently don't have anyone more consistent right now.

I feel like it's the same **** that happened with Feagles, though he was never very good.

Baxa is a basket case right now. I think the coaches have been very patient with him to get his mentality right, but it has NOT worked. Kid just keeps regressing.

That’s why you have all these dumb penalties, missed kicks, missed assignments, recruiting misses, etc. No one is accountable for anything anymore.

Threatening to lose his scolly is not helping him..the best you can do is stay positive with him while at the same time benching his ***..only role he should have is as a Long distance specialists and kick off
 
The kid was 4/10 for FG his senior year in high school. I doubt anything he is doing could be considered "regression"

Baxa is still in the locker room...
 
Check out his mechanics on the missed PAT. There are 4 things that stick out to me, his alignment when he strikes the football. Look at his head, leg, hips and upper torso. The first thing I notice is they're not all firing in the same direction. His mechanics are all out of sort. We don't have anyone to help the kid.

I can see it now. Perry leads the comeback, all the momentum in our favor, Perry marching down the field at will. Defense getting 3 and outs, only for bubba to shank the XP and we lose by 1.

How did he regress so much? clearly has to be the coaching or lack of

As much as I'd like to blame Baxa's ineptitude on coaching, it's most likely between the ears with him. Kickers tend to be mental cases. O, D, and most of ST is definitely lacking coaching.

No body is talking about being nasty to anyone, he should be let know what his expectations are (not missing several exp and short field goals) and if he can’t meet those expectations, we will be looking for a replacement. His play is beyond bad at this point. I think they have been handling Baxa with kid gloves to not damage his fragile ego anymore, it hasn’t worked. I have a hard time believing we have no one on campus that can kick an extra point with consistency. We must have the worst kicker in the country and can’t keep trotting him out to miss exp and 17 yard field goals. It’s ridiculous at this point. And another thing, why the **** do we only have one kicker on the roster, we’re 14 players below the roster limit anyway.
 
Serious question. How hard is it to reclassify in Florida? Do they offer online classes for high school students to graduate early? If so Manny needs to be begging that kid we got coming in 2 years to graduate next summer and win the job here.
