The last man standing in the Bears exhaustive kicker competition points bonks in Timbuktu

The kicker competition at the Bears training camp has been a constant pleasure for all those who are neither Bears fans nor kicker listeners. Nine – one two three four five six seven eight newThe players were first gathered and thrown into the strangely disgusting quest of Matt Nagy to banish in one way or another any trace of the double bond of our dimension. This process had its last dress rehearsal on Thursday night, at a Bears Titan show, with Eddy Pineiro, the tenth kicker, about to grab his job.

In the final Chicago pre-game, Pineiro scored 58 yards against the Colts in his last preseason game, which is a good indication that he has the leg for the position. In the absence of other kickers in the camp, Thursday night was essentially a formality. Then, Pineiro got an extra point as a result of a first-quarter touchdown from the Bears, and kicked so far to the left that he even missed the damn net used to prevent the ball to enter the stands:

Pineiro has recovered well, scoring three relatively short field goals without another setback in a four-point loss to the Bears. And the conditions were far from ideal because of the swirling wind, which made Pineiro's successes a little more impressive and his failure a little more understandable. Nagy talked about Pineiro resilience after it was over, but especially took care to formulate a response on the development of Pineiro in terms of if He is the starting kicker of the team in the first week. There is still time for the Bears to get involved with the kickers being eliminated in the league during the final draw of the lineup.

For his part, Pineiro said, "I felt as if I had given everything," which is both admirable and perhaps worrying. It was not exactly the inspiring finale of trust that fans of Matt Nagy and Bears were hoping for. The quest continues.
