Kicking Game Confidence

Filed under: Football,Puff Pieces — Chas @ 11:01 am

Conor Lee has his confidence going quite high right now.

The tension didn’t set in until he connected on that 38-yarder, and it lasted only as long as it took for the ball to sail through the uprights in the 38-13 victory over Virginia.

“It was exciting to be out there,” Lee said. “You don’t notice anybody. You just go out and do your job.”

That the kicking job belongs to Lee, a redshirt sophomore walk-on from Upper St. Clair, is a long time coming. He hadn’t kicked in a meaningful game since 2003, when he played at Fork Union Military Academy, and he spent the past two seasons behind Josh Cummings and David Abdul.

If Lee stays confident — and with good reason to have it — it is a big thing for Pitt. One less spot to have a worry and a potential difference in close games.





Anyone else surprised that Petiti got cut by the cowboys? It sounded like he had a good camp and also played in every game last year. Hopefully he gets picked up.

Anyone hear anything more about Greg Lee? Is he on a practice squad or anything?

Rob got picked up by the Saints immediately after he was cut.

Greg Lee worked out for the Bears yesterday. (link to suntimes.com)

“Based on his lack of experience, he’s more likely to be a practice squad candidate.”

Glad you brought this up Rex…I too had trouble understanding how a player that was a starter for the Cowboys last year, gets flat out cut this year. I looked in the Pgh Post and Pitt Trib for the last few days and did not see this addressed. I would think that it would have merited a least some passing comment in a Pgh paper. Odd.

Here is a quick article that somewhat explains Petiti being cut:

It does seem to have taken Rob by surprise though.

For tons of coverage of PITT players now in the pros, check out this guy’s blog. It’s new but he posts a lot, it’s pretty good.
