Bates has got a bomb of a leg and it's proven in pro game situations. But it is a small sample size. They will have to find out if he can consistently hit extra points and short field goals because that wasn't something he had to do in the UFL. His 60 yard field goals are beautiful.
It worked for the Cowboys with Brandon Aubrey. In some ways Aubrey had less experience.

Hard not to pull for Bates. Liked money badger, not sure about Turner.
He did make clutch kick vs OSU, but when you kill teams each week its a safe job. He was solid though.
interesting Bal looked into Bates. Says a lot.
let the best kicker win!AAL - Glover Quinn

I wouldn't say that Campbell "hates" kickers, more than he likes the odds of his offense getting 10 yards in 4 plays in most situations. Which is a correct read for this team more often than not.
A good kicker is necessary for those "No Man's Land" situations where it's like 4th and 9 from the opponent's 35, where it's too close for the punter but really not a good down or distance either to go for it... or with time running out and no opportunity to squeeze in one more play. It's something that doesn't happen terribly often, but it's nice to have in your quiver those five or six times a season it happens.

I hope that Bates can make the team.
Anyway, it's good to have true competition for the field goal kicker position.
Even better that this current Detroit Lions team seems to be loaded at just about every other position besides our field goal kicker."I hope to see the Lions in the Super Bowl before I die"

That’s a pretty short list. This still feels weird.
