Bates 1 for 3 today outdoors in Memphis

His stroke looked ok, but he seemed to be questioning the hold. Hopefully, he can get things straightened out.

You ain’t kidding. Some of the polish has definitely been rubbed off today.

Well with us and Minny indoors and Chicago about to be (before his career’s over for sure), it’ll probably be alright. How many outdoor games did we play last year? Baltimore, GB, KC, Chicago, TB… that’s it I think? So 5/17?

I see what you did there.

With Foxy-boy holding, you can focus purely on the kick, because everything else will be perfect, regardless of how shitty the snap may/may not be.

It’s almost as if 2 kicks don’t make a career…

The Money Badger is more consistent than most fans seem to want to give him credit for.

Bates missed from 58 and 62. The fact that he can even try those is impressive.

Good to know… those are tough kicks.

My point is simple though… I like a consistent kicker over a big leg kicker.

If you can find both… well he’s probably in the hall of fame

I’m not against having 2 kickers.

We barely use 1 kicker.

If that 1 sucks, well. You got a guy who can hit from maybe 70 indoors, I could give a shit what he does outside. In time, you might only need 1.

Even the greatest long ball 50+ kicker of all time, Matt Prayer, has missed 25% of his kicks over 50 yards.

There’s no shame in missing from 58 & 62 yards.
