Does he really just toss up the ball and kick it wherever it hits his foot?

Like a little retard mommas boy kid thats never kicked a ball does?

Can coaches not tweek his form?

Can we not find anyone in 50k students that can punt?

Didnt someone say Dicker the kicker punted in HS?

What the fuck! Must be trying too hard to be perfect!

Posted this a couple times myself, he seems to toss the ball up and tries to kick it instead of dropping it on his foot but his cousin sucked ass when he started so there's hope.

Yes, dicker was a pretty good punter.

the good news is we have a PK that will play in the NFL.  The bad news is nick rose played in the NFL as well, so there's that.  

That said, dicker will be a good one here.   Hopefully the punter learns how the game works and becomes an asset after this season, just like his cousin did.  Face it, him sucking this year while learning on the job isn't going to do us much harm.  

It is like you have forgotten the first year dicko was here. Give it time, bigger fish to fry right now

probably should be more concerned with the fact that we can't block for the punter anymore.

Exactly. What the hell is up with that crap? The pressure seems to be always coming from the left side so I would start there to see where the breakdown is.

This right here.  That line is offensive only in the sense that offends the sensibilities of anyone who has ever watched a decently talented line that was well coached.

The blocked punt came off a bad snap too.

He'll be fine.  He's got the deer in headlights look which we all knew would happen.  I bet we see him become much more consistent and become a solid punter towards the end of the season.  That Aussie punting program is legit and the punters they choose to send to the states have all had decent success.  We're not exactly helping him with blocking either.

1.  Of 40+ coaches & players that need significant improvement..  I’d guess he’s the #1 possibility of a realistic few that could change

2.  At this point does it even fucking matter

 

 

He has a good leg.  His problem has been shanking them out of bounds.  I think he'll be fine.

Ya, he will.  He's a soccer player with a good leg and accuracy.  I watched him play in HS and it was good stuff.  And how long has it been since we had a kicker who put the ball deep in or through the end Zone?   Not saying he will be the best kicker UT has seen, just that he puts in work and will do well here before going to the league. 

Punting improved a bit this game, though every time it still looks like it's going to get blocked.  I'm sure he will continue to improve but plateau lower than Dicko whos like the VY of punting  

Watching Dickson punt brought excitement to see how he was going to pin them, his cousin punting is anxiety bordering on terror.  

Noticed quite a few Aussie punters around the country yesterday.  Was Dickos recruitment blind luck or do we have an actual scout who knows what to look for out searching?    Dicker can Punt to too, btw.  

USC’s punter was one of the worst I’ve seen. Did he kick a ball 30 yards on any given punt?

Part of the blocking fear this year is coming from the deep snapper. Last night a couple of his snaps floated back there without much zip.

This dude has now punted in 3 games. Ever. So I’m willing to give him some time.

It’s like y’all don’t remember Dickson’s first year either

Yeah fuck that guy playing his 3rd game ever in a sport and disregard the punt blocking unit entirely... 

I like that they are going with a rugby style punt to help get away but he didn't look very comfortable doing it. Weird. Give it time though. You can tell he has the leg.

Until his senior year, Dickson would reliably shank at least one punt per game, though. The last half of his senior year he was the best I've ever seen in college.
I'm willing to give Booj some time. He's got the leg. I hope he limits the shanks.

And nice prediction on Dicker. That kid is nails.

Junior year. All the more reasons why he was special.

I remember well.  I am sure he will evolve into a good punter with experience, Dicko spoiled us though.  I definitely think the rugby style is the way to go because they can limit their upfield progress stepping into the kick and change trajectory and lengthen distance for approaching defenders. 

Easiest prediction to make, I saw every game he played in HS and Dicker is a real weapon.  He's not that small either and I've seen him lay wood on a runner who make it past coverage.  Lake Travis has a really good team but will miss Dicker the most, probably the difference between a playoff run and a championship run.  

It looks like we finally have a good kicker and now we want him to punt too. Lets keep him doing what will help us the most. On the new punter, once our protection improves, so will he.

Pretty much this. He's better than Dicko was his first year from what I've seen so far.

At least Dicker seems nails. His kicks were beautiful.

He takes a Loooooooong time. Has to get that off quicker. Can only block so long 

I don’t remember how Dicko was the whole first year, just him being awful in his first game and then that one time when he managed scoop up the ball, run for his life, and somehow get the kick away after a horribly botched snap. He most definitely was not the guy we saw last year. Hopefully the sequel can deliver pretty well even if it doesn’t live up to the original.

Lmao. Our punter isnt the problem. He’s short-legging most of his kicks and fearing for his life back there every time because our punt blocking is full Terry Schaivo

 

im not worried about Buj in the least. He’ll be fine

This all day long!! TH needs to get in front of this and fix it. If they cant see that this is a problem then they all need to take their asses to sharp vision.

Y'all need to stop comparing him to Dickson. Dickson is currently the best punter on the planet.

Yeah. Dickson obviously improved from his freshman year, but some of you are underselling how good he already was based on a couple of memorable mistakes-he still averaged 41.4 yards per punt.

Also, for what it’s worth, his average was exactly the same his sophomore as his junior year (47.4). 

Buj, or whatever his nickname is, will undoubtedly get better over time. 

However, I smell a disaster coming if the blocking doesn’t improve quickly. 

USC figured it out late and started coming for his roll right rugby punt, and damned near got there. 

If the guy had a chance he might be good. Right now almost every kick is hurried. ST needs to get their shit together and block.

Probably best not to rag on a player if you don’t have observation skills.

Two things:

1. Posting this again seemed to make sense for a number of reasons.

2. WTH is your avatar man?  I've been trying to figure it out since the first time I saw it.  Did Mack and Bill Little have a Teen Wolf love child?

If that issue is resolved, it most likely looks as though there are no glaring issues on kicks, (other than needing to cut down on an extra step...

Seriously, people are actually ripping Buj? I've actually thought he's doing pretty well given the circumstances. He'll be very good long term imho.
