And it didn't look shakey going in, either. Big!

Had to be big for his confidence. Playoffs, in the rain, to pull closer against a young, hot team on our a$$. Biggest and best kick of his short career.

Kick the ball into the endzone on kickoffs!!!!!!

He gave all of us confidence with that make. Was beautiful to watch.

After that big return yesterday, I think this should be our strategy every time now

It's remarkable we stick with this strategy annually. I remember hearing a 9er podcast that covered this strategy years ago. And it hasn't changed.

I used to think it was because Gould and Wishnowsky had weaker legs. Nope.

The goal is to kick it to the 1 yard line and force a return and tackle inside the 20. Sometimes it works but the tradeoff for a few yards doesn't seem worth it esp. against teams who emphasize having really good return weapons.

We're 26th in ST. It's like groundhog day again.

Changing the ST coordinator hasn't changed a thing. This is as high as you'll get with this kind of strategy and safe fair-catching McCloud directions.

Others teams emphasize it as a potential difference maker. It's Kyle's philosophy (my assumption) since we're seeing the exact same thing under two different ST coordinators esp. when Schneider used to manage a top, aggressive unit.

He'll get better, but I just hate how he shows zero emotion whatsoever lol.

Good mental building game for him.

fellow posters telling me he doesn't kick it through the end zone because we coach him not to was shocking to me. Kick it through the end zone every damn time please. These return opportunities only help the opponent, not us. We have some dumb ass scheming at times.

Then on the flip side you have f**king Deebo returning kicks to start the game????

My boy mad leg moody finally came through for us. HUGE 52 yard kick in rough weather with the season on the line. If he missed that - man… I don't want to think about it.

just glad he gave us some positive light from him when it was sorely needed.

I imagine Packer fans are roasting their kicker today.

I know we think our kicker sucks but I think their kicker lead the league in missed kicks and missed PATS. Lol

100% lol he's a rookie and doesn't evoke that feeling of superiority like Gould in the playoffs.

He's got a monster leg. I'm convinced he could hit between 65-70. He's had accuracy issues. But man some of those 50+ Fgs he hit this season looked like they'd be good from 65
