Berto's first FG attempt as a Bear

[jimbojangles]

Pretty ugly. I hope he can figure it out. Yips are real.

 

[b-50]

Maybe he needs to see a shrink. He's too good to perform like this.

That is ugly. At first I thought it was deflected, but no, just horrible contact

 

[SnowNole]

Wow, that was bad. Plus, it was in a dome. A couple more kicks like that and he will be unemployed again. Feel for the guy. He needs to "kick" his way through the yips, but in the NFL kickers rarely get that chance.

 

[PANole1]

He done.

 

[llnole]

Watching Hard Knocks and that kick he really looks off balance. He may need a year off to get his mechanics and head right and it looks like he is going to get that time off.

 

[CoralGablesNole!!]

Yikes.

 

[MobileAlNole]

Sports shrink needed.

 

[NoleTrainer]

Hmmm, very strange how he's great at FSU and stinks now. Probably not doing all of the little things needed each day to succeed, like he did at FSU.

 

[noelnole]

yeesh

Or too much.

 

[NoleNewsIsGoodNews]

Dude needs to start selling Insurance cause he has no future as a Kicker in The NFL

 

[jaswinnie]

Looks like he's trying to hard don't see a lot of rhythm at all.

 

[SamariNole21]

All mental

He isn't gonna magically come out of this doing the same things everyday

Prob needs to take a year off to get his head straight

 

[tenole]

I think it's in his head now. He needs to see a sports psychologist or something

 

[QuaZ2002]

I'm guessing he will have all offseason to get himself right both mentally and mechanically. I'm sure he'll get another chance next year.

 

[captain3jack]

When did he make a big kick at FSU? Only pressure kick he had was blocked and returned for a TD by GT.

 

[NJNOLES]

He is the most scrutinized player in NFL history. We don't need a kick by kick update on a guy trying to make a team.

 

[Andrewff]

When did he make a big kick at FSU? Only pressure kick he had was blocked and returned for a TD by GT.

Seriously?

 

[TheTruth_]

He needs to stop thinking. Drink a beer and just kick the stupid ball.

In retrospect he was only 50% on kicks over 40 yds. Not exactly dominant

What is Ricky on kicks over 40?

 

[dafnole]

Seriously?

I agree with him. When did he make a big kick? Honestly name a game. He got GT blocked and ran back. Other than that I can't think of any game

 

[dafnole]

What is Ricky on kicks over 40?

Not sure if this was a honest question or not, but probably like 0%. Not sure he can kick that far

 

[fsu67810]

Miami 2014 he nailed that 50+ yarder...he doesn't make that we don't win the game.

Most of his kicks in 2014 had pressure since almost every game was close.

Hope he turns it around.

 

[slickyboy24]

I know they may be busy preparing for their own season, but it would be nice if Sebass or Gano reached out to him and maybe give some pointers.

 

[FSUSig84]

That looked like one of my golf shots. Hope he gets it turned around.

 

[simmy2637]

He needs to hire AJ Feely as a coach and also hire a sports psychologist.

 

[bigsexy1]

Hate to say it but he's done.

 

[noleone99]

As Bob Uecker would say, just a bit outside, errr inside... er everywhere... wow Aguayo has lost it, poor guy...

 

[Andrewff]

You guys have short memories. He made everything in 2013 and 2014. Our opponents had long guys, short guys, specialists...none could make kicks.

 

[nooniebird74]

Not sure if this was a honest question or not, but probably like 0%. Not sure he can kick that far

Why does he have a scholarship ? He is like D-2 kicker

 

[EveryoneBleedsGarnet]

I think the GT loss started this downward spiral for him. He really does need to go to an NLP or hypnosis expert to clear out his mind.

 

[SeaPA]

What is up with all this sports psychologist nonsense. He just needs to go to hog town & have a wild romp with a slump buster.

'Berto was one of the most arrogant, cocky little pricks on campus
during his time at FSU. Maybe just a little karma at work here?
Regardless, you have to feel for the guy. Probably the first time in
NFL history that a guy gets canned before a national TV audience.
And to his credit, the guy handled the situation with class.
Life isn't always fair. Sometimes things look the darkest before
the light shines through. Still time for 'Berto to turn it around.
We are all pulling for you, guy!

"YIKES! THAT KICK SUCKED!!"

 

[SoddyNole]

Looks like my golf shot.

 

[NoleMoreTears]

Good news is kickers can get a shot even with a year off - it's not like longevity is a huge concern.

He should put Michael Gervais on speed dial and get his head right.

a) ouch
b) people have been getting cut from teams on Hard Knocks for like 10 years. Roberto is prob the most high profile cut though.
