FWIW the concern with the missed 58 yarder isn't just that it missed, it's that it apparently was a complete shank, a low wobbler that had zero chance of going in. In the modern NFL you'd like to have at least a chance of hitting those. We lost a game last year because the opponent's kicker hit a 60 yarder in the driving rain. Having that capability is an underrated massive advantage and we are very unlikely to have that this year. I'll take it as a win if he can at least get back to consistency on the 30-50 yarders. But beyond 50 I'm not going to have any confidence until Bass earns it.

Like I said, impossible not to have total confidence in Bass this year.

I don't know man, hard to have an iota of confidence that Bass can hit any critical kicks this year.

Interesting that Epenesa gets the start over Von.

Updates from Matt Parrino:

The universal sentiment from people in attendance is that Allen is having the best training camp of his career.

Within 5 yards of the LoS you can absolutely chuck them to the ground. Chiefs fans on Twitter are hand waving it away saying they'll get him in motion so he won't have to deal with press. But it's hard to justify a WR in the 1st round if he can't consistently beat press IMO. If the plan is for him to just be basically a gadget WR with vertical traits, his ceiling will be pretty limited. With that frame he'll need to have a solid release plan or he's gonna get used to hitting the turf.

You'd have to feel a little concerned about this, right?
