After Weeks 2 and 3, LeHarm James was depressed. Call it overreacting, but he'd never had a single game like this. Missing a 20-yarder? Having only 2 attempts over 2 games? This wasn't what he liked about kicking, it felt like he didn't have control over whether he did well or not like he did in college. He started muttering things like "why won't we get into FG range!" and, "sim gonna make me miss muh kicks!" (This one confused his team the most. What the hell was a sim?) The whole locker room thought he had schizophrenia or something.
Regardless, he started to get fat, like REALLY fat. You know how when you're sad you eat a lot? This was LeHarm James at that moment. His life goal was to be the best kicker ever, but he didn't feel like doing it? This wasn't correct, it had to change. While moping around one day, a coach made him attend practice and put him on the defense line as a joke. The first snap, he broke through the line like Bobby Boucher and sacked the practice squad QB. The coaches were really impressed at this play and decided to have him run it again, and again, and again...
Maybe he didn't need to lose weight, maybe this was his new calling. He wasn't destined to be a good kicker, instead he'd use his newfound hate against it to push through. Before Week 4 came, he was already in lineman shape. What he did to get there so fast, we may never know. What we do know is that he's way better than anyone else on the Dallas Birddogs' line and is ready to break through. His last game as a kicker is this Thursday, in which he'll be comically large at 290 pounds. After that, who knows what he'll face as a defensive end?
All I know is that he definitely overreacted to his previous two games. Maybe Norfolk did some light tampering in their movement to ban kickers. Maybe it was also a choice due to the pure lack of defensive line players going into next year's draft. Eh, I'm just speculating to no avail aren't I?
