We were introduced to "Neo" in the Matrix starring Keanu Reeves. The premise behind Neo was that we learned that he was the "One".
Twelve days out from the opening game in the NFL against the Packers, the question begs is Pineiro finally the One? Eddy was called on early tonight to kick from 21 yards out, a shorter distance than the three XPs he made against Indianapolis. Finally we got what we all wanted to see when Nagy trotted Eddy out there for a long range bomb from 58 yards out. All Eddy did was deliver! His accuracy was perfect with his kicks dead on down the middle. So far Eddy is 3/3 on XPs and 5/6 on FGs. If you include the three FGs he made last year for the Raiders than his total is 8/9 for FGs. That is good for 89%. I am beginning to believe now that Nagy really wants Eddy to be the "One". He has gone out of his way to tell the press that they need to back off the unrealistic expectations that Eddy is not allowed to miss a FG, but put more focus on how Eddy responds after a missed FG. For those who are keeping score, Mike Zimmer, the Vikings coach who chased Daniel Carlson out of town last year, has his panties in a wad right now since Karre Vedvik missed two FGs tonight and said that his concern is "High" right now, especially since they traded away a 5th round pick for him next year. For those who are still keeping score, Carlson is still having a good season for the Raiders going into his second season. If kickers can actually have "Swag", I think Eddy just might actually be the "One" to have it. Going into tonight's game he had a lot of pressure on him to perform, and because of something(the Double Doink) that he was never apart of from the beginning. He has to go through this gauntlet once again for another week and then I guess we will have a better idea of what the Bears are going to do. Let's hope he is 'Lights Out" again. I think Eddy will have to duplicate another performance next week like he did tonight in order for him to have a chance to make the team.
I hope for Nagy and the Bears Nation, but most importantly for Eddy, that Pineiro truly is the "One".
