Originally posted by chemiclord View PostPersonally, they should have four guys kicking around every offseason. At least. Because yes, as you said, there's a lot of luck involved. It's hard to say who "the guy" is going to be, because yes, they can come from anywhere. Which is why I'd argue the Lions should be casting a much larger net every offseason. It's not about anyone specific. Bates is one of many they could be entertaining; but the issue with Bates is that I suspect someone is going to offer him more than a tryout based simply on his UFL season. It is what it is. I'd bite the bullet personally, but that's just because I don't see Badgely as much more than replacement level. If Bates stunk it up, they could probably cut him and Badgley would still be there waiting. Or Turner, or someone roughly on Badgley's level.
And I think the numbers back me up on that. I know a lot of Lions fans have told themselves that he's Ol' Reliable from inside 45, and that's what makes him so valuable to this coaching staff... but it's not true. He's been mid since bouncing around in Detroit, he's been mid everywhere he's went. He's simply nothing worth hitching your wagon to, and replacing someone like him simply isn't nearly as hard as some fans are telling themselves it is.WHO CARES why it says paper jam when there is no paper jam?

The fact is the Lions game were one of the first to allegedly contact Bates during the UFL season.
The Lions were so unserious last year that they rolled out Badgley at the start of the season, except they didn't. He was cut in July.

Originally posted by chemiclord View PostI keep saying that it's one hell of a sign that we're arguing over the damn place kicker, but no... people really seem to want my statement to be some sort of declaration of war against Holmes and Campbell and the franchise.Where are we going; and what's up with this hand basket?

Here's a cool tweet showing Arnold covering Xavier Worthy on a go route. Worthy, you may remember, recently set the combine record for fastest 40 time in history. They start at the top of the formation.
Speed is not an issue with Arnold.
edit: I still can't believe we got this guy with pick 24.Last edited by El Axe; June 14, 2024, 11:44 AM.
