As I've said many times before, Holmes tells you EXACTLY what he's going to do. Some will just go on with their own narrative and ignore it. It's remarkable, to be honest.

That's all well and good but Bates has been doing this in game time, on the field and against an opponent. This makes a big difference.According to Dave Birkett of The Detroit Free Press, Badgley successfully hit two long field goals, from 53 and 60 yards, during the team’s situational drills.Last edited by edindetroit; May 24, 2024, 06:24 PM."Your division isn't going through Green Bay it's going through Detroit for the next five years" - Rex RyanComment

Oh, I am certain the Lions feel they have their kicker for 2024.
I also think it's a big mistake. Their complete unseriousness in upgrading the kicker position is probably the only thing I strongly dislike about Holmes's team building method.Last edited by chemiclord; May 25, 2024, 02:26 PM.Comment

Love to be able to hit from 60. I feel like 55 yards on occasion is enough.
Money Badger has been working on distance… Seems like 50 ish was the old line. Id be curious on his 50 yard makes how far the ball traveled past? What was he good from on his hits?AAL - Glover QuinnComment

He had the 53 yarder against the Rams in the playoffs that was absolutely huge....He misses that and the Lions probably dont win that game.Comment

A way to look at Badgely as the Lions Kicker, why it's probably a roster-building strategic decision to not invest more:
1. Badgely is as good as any NFL kicker in everything except field goals more than 53 yards. Even on those, he's only marginally worse
2. Dan Campbell follows analytics, so he avoids long field goals because they rarely increase your odds of winning.
3. Badgely costs $1M/yr. Above average NFL kickers cost $4M/year
Do you really want to take $3M out of the annual salary cap for a marginal increase in the ability to kick a long field goal, something you'll only be doing 3-4 times per season, instead of using it on other positions?Last edited by El Axe; May 26, 2024, 01:42 PM.Comment

Okay ... but in reality, they seemed scared to put kickers out there for long FG the last few seasons ... some choices were pretty obviously because of that. Yeah I'd rather have Hanson or Prater for the money than that ... so they don't have to play limitedOriginally posted by El Axe View Post
If Badgely is better now so be it ... he'll prob get paidWHO CARES why it says paper jam when there is no paper jam?Comment

If Det had Bates and he got shaky on short ones he woukd be gone fast.
I think Dan see the investment in the offense and would rather go for it on 4th to get closer. Minny kick haunts him.AAL - Glover QuinnComment

With a deep roster and top players locked up long term, there's plenty of substance to the thought that the Lions could be consistent contenders in the long-term future.Last edited by edindetroit; May 28, 2024, 03:22 PM."Your division isn't going through Green Bay it's going through Detroit for the next five years" - Rex RyanComment

Interesting the Lions over/under for wins this coming season is 10.5...I guess that is mainly due to the schedule than anything else.Comment
