He was warming up with 55 yarders. The guy has been accurate. The crowd started chanting we want Bates when they called a timeout.

I really want to see how he does from some short - to mid range stuff, but apparently, he’s just gonna go out there and make the titanic kicks.
Honestly, the 52 yarder felt like a chip shot for him, which is crazy if you think about it.

I honestly have no idea how Campbell could handle having a kicker like this. It would cause him to shift his entire philosophy.

I honestly don’t think it would. Dan is gonna Dan. The only thing I think it would effect is that now there’s TWO situations to worry about on 4th down for the opposing defense.

If he keeps making kicks like that someone is going to throw some money at him, I hope it’s the Lions.

Fox bait!?!
going into the draft, what approach do you guys see the Lions taking? Pass on drafting a kicker with hopes that we can sign this guy and outbid other teams or do they draft one and take their chances?

He can be signed at any time. Lock it up, Brad.

alright, next question. Since I haven’t been following the USFL, has he kicked outdoors and on grass yet?

I don’t know how the UFL practices, but he never kicked FG in college and he’s only done so in two career games, both at Ford Field.
