So this is a 5 star major pickup. Likely worth far more points than Dante Moore, P Bowen, or Knight would’ve ever put up at ND.

I might be mistaken but you could be the greatest kicker in history and not be over 3 stars, correct? Most underrated position by far. Jason Hansen remains the all time point leader in Lions history. Not Barry Sanders.

It‘s criminal he isn’t in the HoF.

2nd favorite 90s Lion next to Barry and Herman Moore.

There was a time not too long ago, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, that kickers/punters were on a different ranking system and the best were 6 stars?

He improved a lot since the first effort he had in week 2 or whatever it was.

Definitely looked good but as KMac said, let’s see some FG’s.

The first kick was super questionable, had a bunch of hook on it. I think at least 4 out of 7 extra points looked to have some hook. All we really need is for him to be able to consistently hit field goals inside of 40 yards, I expect he will be tested against Pitt.

Not to mention kicking at Heinz is always sort of an adventure unless you’re Chris Boswell.

The first one was by far the worst. He definitely didn’t strike it “right”. They had a camera shot of Freeman right after the made extra point that showed he wasn’t very happy.

I actually thought Freeman’s concern on that was about the low/shitty snap but could be wrong. I would think in that situation MF is just patting Schmidt on the back for getting it through the uprights period and maybe trying to build some confidence.
