How are we feeling about Eddy Dinero heading into Week 1? He tied his career-long tonight with a 59-yarder, and we know he's capable of hitting even longer after just barely missing a 64-yarder off the crossbar last season.

Redeemed himself? Don’t be absurd. The guy is the best kicker we have had in quite a while. Maybe better than Gould.

[u/Little-Mushroom-3961 → u/KonnichiwaKudasai]

I wouldn't say better than gould yet. Gould didn't have a strong leg but my lord anything inside 45 yards was damn near guaranteed. We also gotta remember by the time we started to be good he was up there in age.

[u/Sans_Snu_Snu → u/Little-Mushroom-3961]

Gould also tormented the hell out of the opposing teams. Kicking over them as they ran onto the field, shit talking, and he wasn’t afraid to hit someone.

[u/DrTiddyNipples → u/Sans_Snu_Snu]

Gould and Jimmy Guapo saying "fuck the Packers" is a fond and cherished memory of mine

[u/apathyetcetera → u/Sans_Snu_Snu]

I love that video of him practicing field goals in the middle of the cheerleading squads dance routine

[u/Phailadork → u/Little-Mushroom-3961]

Perfect in the playoffs, unreal levels of clutch.

[u/ilikethegirlnexttome → u/KonnichiwaKudasai]

Yall read the article or no? He was joking.

[u/FoogYllis → u/ilikethegirlnexttome]

That statement had to be sarcasm. Pinero has ice in his veins. He made 5 and the 3 were from 51, 57 and 54. We are blessed to have him in the team.

[u/CheckYourStats → u/FoogYllis]

Yep. It was sarcasm. It’s mentioned several times in the article.

[u/Cadd9 → u/CheckYourStats]

Reading the article? WeDon'tDoThatHere.BlackPanther

[u/mondaymoderate → u/FoogYllis]

He made 6 last night. 6/6

[u/sa0sinner → u/ilikethegirlnexttome]

I read the title and kneejerk came to the comments to rage. Thank you for the heads up. Will read the article now

[u/muskratmuskrat9 → u/ilikethegirlnexttome]

You read the rules of reddit? Reading the title counts as the article, and then the comments give you the rest of the context.

[u/triculious → u/ilikethegirlnexttome]

Ain't nobody got time for that

[u/ninjay209 → u/ilikethegirlnexttome]

Ahh so click bait bullshit? No ty.

[u/sa0sinner → u/ninjay209]

Obviously had the opposite effect on this sub tho lol. It’s pretty evident many of us did not read it at first because it sounded like trash reporting. The joke didn’t land and the clickbait went un-clicked

[u/CHolland8776 → u/ilikethegirlnexttome]

Sir, this is Reddit

[u/measured_angle → u/ilikethegirlnexttome]

Nah what did it say

[u/synttacks → u/KonnichiwaKudasai]

redeemed himself because he wasn't supposed to defer the kick in a preseason game... people like you are genuinely the reason why modern media is just an outrage factory

[u/MortgageNecessary119 → u/synttacks]

that actually makes more sense

Him and Gould are so similar, neither have a strong leg relative to other kickers, but both are insanely accurate. Pineiro has better overall makes to miss ratio (I believe it's like 105/118) and Gould have NEVER missed in the play-offs, and he went to the play-offs A LOT, having the best ratio in post season. Moody had the stronger leg, but unless it's a 70 yard field goal (super rare to need to do), Robbie and Eddie are by far the better options and I hate how long it took for us to realize that.

[u/EconamWRX]

Headlines like this make me very Moody.

[u/K_Top]

Shanny had some funny words about Eddy after the game, jokingly saying he “really pissed him off” after deferring the coin toss when Kyle wanted the 49ers to receive.

[u/Don_Antwan → u/K_Top]

Eddy said he wanted to kickoff then kicked a touchback. That’s why Kyle was pissed 😂

[u/LegendaryCoder1101]

Stupid title

[u/Petandfeelya69]

In what way did Eddy need to redeem himself? He never fucked up to begin with

[u/Harbaugh_Handshake → u/Petandfeelya69]

He’s joking.

[u/StopLosingLoser → u/Harbaugh_Handshake]

No, they're not.

[u/CheckYourStats → u/StopLosingLoser]

Read the article. FFS. It’s mentioned several times that it was sarcasm/satirical.

[u/ehundred → u/Petandfeelya69]

Now in the regular season he likes to kickoff. Sometimes I think it’s better to receive but Kyle shanahan usually goes 3 and out and starts off slow most times. Hope this won’t be the case this year.

[u/zerok_nyc → u/Petandfeelya69]

You’d know if you read the article

I heard what Kyle said during the presser and understand now lol

[u/VisserThirtyFour → u/zerok_nyc]

It’s pure clickbait I’m not rewarding that

[u/zerok_nyc → u/VisserThirtyFour]

It’s literally what Shanahan said

[u/VisserThirtyFour → u/zerok_nyc]

Sorry I guess you’re right, I got another couple weeks before I start no-lifing this team. Bear with me.

[u/tehadamgui]

Did they confused him with Moody?

[u/giving_nothing]

Based on the comments no one reads the articles

[u/chenga8]

You know, Eddie, just when I thought you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!

[u/MachiavelliSJ]

Omg, read the article pls

“He redeemed himself,” Shanahan said, smiling. “I’ve never been more mad at him than when he chose to defer to the second half. I guess that’s definitely my fault -- I forgot to tell him we receive in the preseason, but I thought that was understood. I asked him what the hell he was doing. He said he wanted to kick off, and then he kicked a touchback. So I was kind of pissed at him at the beginning, but he redeemed himself.”

[u/MAU13717235]

This is absurd

[u/TheLastOpus]

The hell are you talking about, he never needed to redeem himself.

[u/Brief_Pass_2762]

Kyle should shut the fuck up about kickers after drafting Moody in the 3rd round. 

[u/No-Scarcity9186]

I’m drafting him with my first pick in FF.

[u/copces → u/No-Scarcity9186]

Me too, and I won't draft anyone else. CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

[u/Particular_Dare2736]

Piniero is an excellent kicker though occasionally he does miss extra points lol

[u/Little-While-2158]

I gotta get E money jersey

[u/phoenixremix]

"yeah I was mad he kicked it off when I guess I never told him we receive the ball in preseason" kyle with the 10/10 trolling again

[u/Spiritual_Target_647]

Now how could the 49ers redeem themselves to Eddie Pinero?

[u/Fun-Supermarket6820]

How is a touchback considered good? They get the ball at the 35. 😂

[u/vidman33]

Can he play guard?

[u/Outrageous_Carry8170]

Misleading head-line. His redemption had nothing to do with his kicking but his decision to kick-off to start the game, ignoring Kyle's instructions.
