Quote:Pineiro is probably one of the most important signings for the team; plus, he can make an immediate impact.


However, I wouldn't buy much into the 70+ yard kicks. He was kicking with a 20+ mph wind to his back. Reminds me of Nick Rose from Texas. Everyone was in awe of him kicking 80+ yard field goals with ease on video. Yet, he can barely make a field goal come game time. Heck, he missed the extra point that could have won the game against Cal this year. I believe he's under 70% beyond 40 and under 40% beyond 50. YouTube is littered with videos of kickers making 70-80 yard field goals. The kickers always have a strong wind to their back and it's never the first take. Like the Dude Perfect videos, you gotta know he never makes those shots first take haha.
 

With that said, anyone that can kick a 70 yard field goal even one time has a pretty darn good leg and I think that's all he was proving there.

 

Accuracy is yet to be proven and with kickers that's 10x more important than power, imo.
