You are RIGHT!! Correct me if im wrong but didnt Gould hit 5/5 vs The BEARS In Jimmy G'S First road start??

Without looking it up... I think so. Historic return as well. I remember that game(LOVE the fight to the top) , it looked like Jimmy was money at times, but you could tell he just didn't know the playbook hardly at all and we were depleted at the same time.. Not to mention, bears were playing conservative ball but they were scrappy AF. I remember they had a lot of scrappy fights like us too.

I think it works really well to have Pinion doing the kickoff duties. It saves Gould's leg for kicks that put up points and Pinion seems to be pretty good at driving kickoffs deep enough that they are often touchbacks. I wonder if the prospect of not having to do kickoff duty is one of the things that led Gould to sign with the 9ers. Whatever the reason, so far I'm jazzed that he did.

Lolz. Yeah the trouble would be his dog threw up in the backseat, but Gould took the blame for going too fast through the canyons

Honestly without the great and consistent kicking game we've had the last 8 years this team would have been bottom feeding even through the Harbaugh years.

These guys have done great and deserve more credit for the shear amount of kicks made and keeping such high percentages.

So many stalled redozone drives have still ended in points which is great.

After seeing Baalke draft Pinion then seeing him perform kickoffs, Gould took notice a good 2 years prior.

Phil Dawson was pretty erratic last year in Arizona and having to do kickoffs again was cited by him and Jay Feely as one reason for it.

With Pinion handling kickoffs, the 49ers can continually cycle through one aging kicker after another while minimizing added wear and tear.

Very good point.

Agreed. When Pinion gets Mostert back and adds either Moore (4.25 speed with a Safety mentality) or Burbridge, expect a lot of downed punts inside the 20 and deep fair catches. Mostert was typically down their waiting for the punts to land. His loss (I.R.) was instantly felt.

This is very true. Andy Lee to Phil Dawson and now Robbie Gould. We've come a long way from the Mike Cofer's and Jose Cortez's of the world.
