Jake Bates is Great for the Detroit Lions

is you have a field goal kick in Jake B um and I thought that 43 yard game winner was as important a kick as you could possibly make in the preseason in the exhibition season because let's face it down by two points a 43 yard field goal and I know we missed the extra point whatever people are going to miss extra points throughout the year but a 43 yard field goal in the NFL is a kick that you must make 100 times out of 100 you absolutely have to make that kick if it gets blocked or something like that bad snap fine but as far as the actual kicker goes if the snap is good the hold is good you must make that kick 100 times out of 100 here's Jake Bates already with a missed extra point on on the on on his foot comes up here he could be and again if you say the wind doesn't matter that's fine okay I'll give you that but to him he could be in an even bigger spot because he could be kicking for his career that kick could have meant the difference between a career in the NFL and fighting and clawing to try to get back to the NFL at some point if they were going to if you have a missed extra point and a missed 43 yard field goal that's tough that's a tough tough way to make uh uh the game [Music]
