Adam Botkin takes the helmet objection literally. Told he cannot kick while wearing one, he straps on a black football helmet and recreates Thursday Night Football attempts, sending his opening kicks deep into the stands.

The test becomes a small lesson in field position, too. Botkin explains what he means by "right" and "left," pointing to the different hash-mark locations on high school, college and NFL fields. He then makes attempts from either side and the middle, finishing with a clean kick from 53 yards.

"What NFL Team Needs A Kicker? 😂" was the most watched of his three new uploads, reaching about 76,000 views. The comments promptly moved the equipment requirement along: several viewers want the next demonstration in full pads. Others nominate the Rams, while one recurring request asks for a kickoff instead.

"Making NFL Missed Field Goals (Week 9 Edition)" continued his familiar recreation series, and "A Deal Is A Deal 👀" rounded out the week. That newest upload is drawing more daily views than either of the other new releases, though "POV: Seeing How Far I Can Kick" is the channel's busiest video right now. Posted earlier this month, it has passed a million views.

The channel added subscribers over the week, but its current daily viewing is well below its usual level. Nearby sports channels have mixed fortunes: Wheels is drawing more than twice its typical daily views, while Courtside Films is quieter than normal. For Botkin, another older upload also remains active: the sponsored Colorado visit "Can I Get A 0 Star Recruit A D1 Offer?", following Zak Crisler's pursuit of his first Division 1 offer.
