I think that's probably smart.

[Hostile]

This kind of info is when Twitter is priceless.

[Wrangler87]

This defensive line scares me. Not that Igor was all that great, but I don't think cutting him makes us any better. We'll just let a Jag take his place. One Jag for another.

Is Jerry broke? Can we please shop the waiver wire.

[Risen Star]

Keeping a kickoff specialist = fail.

[TheCount]

Glad gathers made it, guy I liked coming out of school, funny he ended up here after all.

[Chocolate Lab]

Keeping a kickoff specialist = fail.

Yeah, I'm glad they kept Bailey, but I'm not sure we need a KO guy with the new rules.

Surely by next year Bailey can improve his leg strength and we can go with him only... If Bailey proves he can kick FGs.

[Wrangler87]

Keeping a kickoff specialist = fail.

At least he can tackle. Trying to find a positive here...

[Mr Cowboy]

Yeah, I'm glad they kept Bailey, but I'm not sure we need a KO guy with the new rules.
Agreed!

[RastaRocket]

Keeping a kickoff specialist = fail.

Exactly what I'm thinking.... maybe they are still hoping one day Buehler can kick it straight with that cannon leg.

I'd almost rather us not kick a touchback every play.

[pacy]

Yeah, I'm glad they kept Bailey, but I'm not sure we need a KO guy with the new rules.

Maybe the rules will change again. Then I´m glad we kept Buehler.

[Mansta54]

You've gotta be kiddin, right? Igor was absolutely awful, he got pushed around like he was on skates. Keeping him takes up a roster spot when we could use that spot for some of the younger players to look at. I didn't see any of them gettin pushed around like Igor... Igor was terrible!!!

[The Quest for Six]

Keeping a kickoff specialist = fail.

I agree

[Anguillidae]

This is totally a Jerry thing. There's no way Garrett keeps two kickers. Someone please convince me otherwise.

[Arch Stanton]

“Sometimes players get evaluated based on what they’ve done in the past,” Garrett said. “You have to kind of look at them and say ‘OK, let’s take the numbers off these guys and evaluate how they’re playing right now.”’

[RS12]

Two kickers = waste of a roster spot.

[Mansta54]

“Sometimes players get evaluated based on what they’ve done in the past,” Garrett said. “You have to kind of look at them and say ‘OK, let’s take the numbers off these guys and evaluate how they’re playing right now.”’


This is one of many reasons why I like JG so much. This statement is accurate and speaks volumes..

Somebody keeps waiting for the light to go on for Beuhler. He is always gonna be around 75% and miss at the worst possible time.

[Hostile]

This is totally a Jerry thing. There's no way Garrett keeps two kickers. Someone please convince me otherwise.It is a Rob Ryan thing. He wants the field position advantage and no I am not guessing.

[Kangaroo]

I think it is more because we have a rookie FG kicker who needs to add more leg strength and if they do not find a vet to replace him they will worry about a dead leg later in the year and his kickoffs not going deep enough giving the other team better field position.

[casmith07]

Looks like we're going to keep 4 RBs.

Choice will likely be traded before the deadline...any thoughts?

[Displaced Cowboy]

If buehler makes KO returns non-existent then he has a greater impact than any other player they would keep as the 53rd man.

[casmith07]

Well, think of The Beuhler as a punt team gunner and kickoff team gunner that also happens to be able to boot the ball through the uprights on kickoffs.

So we technically only have one kicker on the team, Bailey. The Buehler is more of an athlete ;)

[starsfreak31]

Because in Fall-Winter when it's cold or windy I want my kicker to still give us good field position. It isn't a bad move.

[ChldsPlay]

It is a Rob Ryan thing. He wants the field position advantage and no I am not guessing.

What advantage?

[Kangaroo]

What advantage? People always starting at the 20 after a kickoff

[Hostile]

What advantage?Seriously?

[speedkilz88]

Coach DeCamillis early on said he wanted the kicker to be able to hang it up high at the goalline and in the corner so they can stop the returner inside the 20. Buehler can do that, Bailey not so much.

[burmafrd]

Seriously?

Many do not realize what an advantage it is to the D to know that they almost always will make the O start at the 20.

AND no kickoff returns means fewer injuries.

[burmafrd]

Coach DeCamillis early on said he wanted the kicker to be able to hang it up high at the goalline and in the corner so they can stop the returner inside the 20. Buehler can do that, Bailey not so much.

frankly that is a bad idea.

Yeah maybe 2 out of 3 time you can get them inside the 20- but usually not inside the 15.

And then the third time the guy busts it out to the 40 or maybe all the way

[CCBoy]

Many do not realize what an advantage it is to the D to know that they almost always will make the O start at the 20.

Defininitely as nice as a never miss long snapper...who has a roster spot as well.

[Picksix]

Because in Fall-Winter when it's cold or windy I want my kicker to still give us good field position. It isn't a bad move.

No, it isn't a bad move. If he consistently forces the opposing offense to start at the 20, then it helps the defense significantly (which they need right now). It's just unfortunate. But if it helps us win games, then it's a good move.

[Hostile]

[CCBoy]

Bailey doesn't come with the five year veteran clause where he's guaranteed his total salary even if he is released. Bailey gets the start. If a veteran is needed, then he will be signed after the Jet game some time.

[Sam I Am]

How does Igor go from stout vs the run to a standing on ice so quickly. Maybe he just doesn't want to be here? That is a terrible way to go about getting out of here if that is what it is.

Either way, glad he is gone.

[craig71]

I'm not too concerned about carrying two kickers to begin the season. I think the kicker situation is going to be somewhat fluid, just because they start with two doesn't mean they will carry two throughout the year.


Craig

[realtick]

I'd like to bring in Gabe Watson.

I thought he had revived his career somewhat over in Arizona the past few seasons.

[Hostile]

Wade Phillips reportedly has peed his pants in Houston.

[Chocolate Lab]

Coach DeCamillis early on said he wanted the kicker to be able to hang it up high at the goalline and in the corner so they can stop the returner inside the 20. Buehler can do that, Bailey not so much.

Obviously I could be wrong, but I have a feeling most coaches are going to eventually try this, and there will be the same number or fewer touchbacks than before. Somehow I can't believe that most ST coaches will just want to mindlessly kick it through the endzone and start from the 20... I think they'll believe they can do better.

Which means that league administration will fail or even backfire again.

[speedkilz88]

How does Igor go from stout vs the run to a standing on ice so quickly. Maybe he just doesn't want to be here? That is a terrible way to go about getting out of here if that is what it is.

Either way, glad he is gone.It makes me suspicious of being on and then off of steroids.

[TheSport78]

Per Broaddus

"Was told last nite they were looking at keeping 4 RBs and 2 Kickers. Bailey and Buehler were the two. Going short at ILB."

So Cummings or Lemon does not make the team. Banking a LOT on Brooking staying healthy until Carter comes off PUP.

[RastaRocket]

That is retarded, Jerry Jones is an idiot.

[LeonDixson]

I wrote a couple of weeks ago that, as unfortunate as it is, if Beuhler didn't win the placekinking job, I would keep two kickers. It just makes logical sense.

edit: That is assuming that the kicker who won the job couldn't consistently put the ball deep in the endzone. I didn't see that from Bailey or Rayner either.

[Sam I Am]

"Was told last nite they were looking at keeping 4 RBs and 2 Kickers. Bailey and Buehler were the two. Going short at ILB."

I gotta say; I had Cummings making the team, but only because I figured we needed to keep four ILB. Not because I thought he earned a roster spot. He was a 50/50 shot to be around the ball or miles away from it.

[Ranzo]

I think they like Cummings over Lemon but after seeing Ryan shaking his head over his missed assignment resulting in a TD I'm not certain. He did make a lot of other plays, though.

[unionjack8]

spot on, we have a winner.

[Sam I Am]

That is retarded, Jerry Jones is an idiot.

Have you seen our kickers? I don't think there is anything retarded about it.

The only real question is do they really think Bailey was that much better than Beuhler at place kicking to allocate a second kicker roster spot? I didn't see either one of them being all that great. If you got two kickers that are close to the same level at kicking, just keep the guy that can kick it miles.

[johnnyd]

That is retarded, Jerry Jones is an idiot.

cant blame jerry for the bad things and only praise jason for the good. This is a dumb move and jason has to share in the bashing.

[Mash]

I think Igor just doesnt fit the way DE are asked to play in Ryans defense.....thats all....

Keeping 2 Kickers is the safe way for now till this other kicker they have gets healthy. If this young kid gets healthy and proves to the Cowboys he can kick FG and have long enough kickoffs....then I can see both of these kickers now cut.

Im a little worried about keeping little depth at inside LB.....I think its one of our biggest weakness.

[Frozen700]

Maybe the rules will change again. Then I´m glad we kept Buehler.

not only that...what if its the end of the game and we need a 65 yard field goal to tie it or win it?

you go with buehler

Baily may be a stopgap kicker until Forbath gets healthy. For that matter Beuhler may be a stopgap kickoff specialist too if Forbath has a really strong leg. This is an interesting scenario. I haven't watched Forbath in College much, but I read that he is very good. I guess we'll see how it all plays out.

I think this means they don't trust Cummings or Lemon enough to trot them out there so why keep them. I bet if a decent MLB shows up on the waiver wire we will snag him. Seems pretty risky to just go with 3 with Carter on PUP.

[CCBoy]

Well, if Lemon is on the practice squad and Brooking gets hurt, they'll just activate Orie and bring him up to the 53 man roster (at someone's expense though).

Not really as risky as it looks.

[zack]

I think that keeping two kickers is a huge mistake. We are wasting a roster space by doing this. I wonder how many other teams are planning on keeping two kickers....

I can't stand Buehler. Last year I had to leave the room every time he kicked a field goal. He can't be counted on. I don't want him sniffing field goal attempts.....

[CCBoy]

:cry2:

Dang it Hos, didn't Rob Ryan state he didn't want anything internal leaking out until the Jet game...;)

[ChldsPlay]

People always starting at the 20 after a kickoff

I'm still waiting to hear where there is much of an advantage with Buehler on this.

Seems like Bailey can get touchbacks pretty easily as well, and it also seems on kicks that aren't touchbacks (not counting Graham type kicks here), generally the guy doesn't make it back to the 20 anyway.

I just don't see an advantage in keeping an extra kicker for what might amount to a handful of kickoffs with slightly better field position.

[Picksix]

This has Jerry all over it, he said they were doing it weeks ago. Seems like Jason isn't really in charge. Jerry doing whatever ge can to try and make the 2009 draft to look like the trainwreck it was.

[honyock]

If buehler makes KO returns non-existent then he has a greater impact than any other player they would keep as the 53rd man.

I agree, and don't have a problem with keeping the two kickers. Of all the non-Buehlers, keeping Bailey makes some sense...he did well in the preseason games and won't cost as much as Graham would have. And with that dog-awful kick coverage unit, Buehler should save the team lots of yardage in opponent starting position this year.

Jerry should have no say, is an idiot. This should be a coaching decision only.

I think you should just get used to accepting Jerry as GM.....he has been the Cowboys GM since he bought the team.....and if you really want to know....he always had...always will have the final say. Even when your Jimmy Genius was here.

But he makes his decisions from a collection of input....mainly whoever was the head coach......

And every GM has input on their respective teams.....Like Jerry...they get input from Coaches...assistant...scouts...etc. If you think this is Jerry forcing JG on who makes the roster.....then accept that Jerry makes all the decisions.....good and bad since he bought the team.

So...I dont wanna hear....when a move is approved by you ....that it was a JG move.......that he is making a statement.....that he is in charge...etc.

Because......all that does is prove to other posters here that your only agenda posting here is to bash Jerry.

Like I said before...according to you.....Bad move = Jerry....a good move = JG

Wade knows he's a stiff.

[Mash]

Are line drive touchbacks not placed at the 20?

The problem occurs when they dont reach the endzone and then we dont get the coverage needed to have a good stop because it didnt have enough hang time.

The coaches probably agreed that their wasnt enough of a guarantee that those kicks would always be deep in the endzone.

Also....NFLN mentioned this awhile ago....teams are going to use this short KO rule to their advantage and try to see if their kickers can hang the ball high enough and long enough to drop inside the 5 yard line. Therefore trapping teams inside the 15-20.

wow, i'm impressed on how Garrett has changed the status quo around the cowboys. They are making moves now that were not done or done years too late in the past. No matter what the record is this year it's an organization you can feel proud of again.

[Eskimo]

Not sure how you inferred Chapas is getting cut - have not seen anything on him.

:confused:

It was a pure inference from the talking of going long at several other spots and Philips ability to play TE. Perhaps the list can be broken down into confirmed and speculative.

I'm just itching like crazy to know the roster.

I'm coming around to the beuhler thing. The more we can do to help our suspect defense the better. I hope we cut choice, mainly because I'd like to see Murray as our #2.

Off topic, why does your post count only show 700 posts hos?I'm sure u have like 50 times that at least!

[realtick]

I hope we aren't saving a roster spot for Chapas, he and Gronk are cut from the same cloth in terms of what they bring.

He's better suited to sit out a year on the practice squad for us.

Cowboys waived FB/TE Jason Pociask.

Pociask was unable to make enough of an impression at fullback after switching from tight end early in camp. A blocking specialist, Pociask has not appeared in a game since 2007.

For you folks that don't understand the impact of the kicking game, here's your Football 101:

If the defense knows that you are starting at the 20, the playcalling by the opposing offense is mostly going to be conservative. Coordinators do not tend to call risky plays in their own territory, so therefore the D can focus on stopping the run and put them in 3rd and longs.

But when a kickoff is returned for good yardage and field position, the possible list of plays that could be called grows. (20+ yd plays) This is because the offense has more room to operate and a mistake (turnover) would be more forgiving than turning the ball over deep in your own territory.

If everyone can put on their thinking caps from the '09 season, part of the reason that helped the D from '09 was the field position that resulted from Beuhler's touckbacks.

[speedkilz88]

Scoring is definitely going to be affected by the kickoff rule. I don't think any offense gets 400 points this year.

[DFWJC]

I know your being sarcastic but the issue for most of us are just frustrated that we have to keep 2 guys for a 1 person job . Its been years since we had a kicker that i didnt have to hold my breath and pray to the lord that he just make it . Lets go get a good kicker for once and i dont mean a washed up vanderjagt.

Believe me I am frustrated by the issue too but it makes sense when you look at the stats from '09 and '10. Giving up a roster spot for an extra kicker is crucial but when it helps out the D than I am all for it.

a quick question about practice squad players...

i know any team can claim a player from any other practice squad. my question is, does the team whose practice squad a player is in get a chance to move the player to the 53 man roster or are they just picked up with out the team being able to do anything about it?

I believe the team sort of gets a first right of refusal if they put the player on the 53-man roster (I could be wrong about that). Conversely, the team that does grab another team's practice squad player has to put them on their 53-man roster as well.

Interesting angle that, upon further pondering, has some merit.Though with every target moved, through rule change or otherwise, the league adapts. Teams may be more risk oriented in an attempt to be less predictable in those situations.

Good post, stang.

[speedkilz88]

Teams score 1 to 2 kick return TD's a year, that isn't going to change the scoring output of the league.Offense's will have further to go. Scoring will be down. You can go back to the original rule change to the 30 which increased scoring.

[birdwells1]

If buehler makes KO returns non-existent then he has a greater impact than any other player they would keep as the 53rd man.

Wow. Simple put but brilliant, what do you think his touchback percentage should be?

Buehler's leg should put him in the 75%-85% touchback range in my opinion. He should boom at least half of them over the endzone now.

Cowboys will go with two kickers. Dan Bailey will handle field goals. David Buehler will be kickoff specialist again.

I think Harris would have the most teams interested him....not Holley or Johnson.
He led the team in receiving yards, TDs , YPC, and kick return average in the preseason. No drops either. He had a good punt return his last game but really was just on par with AOA, as each returned 4 punts and fair caught once.

[Bluestang]

Buehler's leg should put him in the 75%-85% touchback range in my opinion. He should boom at least half of them over the endzone now.


I certainly hope so, I also hope that DeCamilis has Beuhler just kick the snot out of the ball for a touchback and not the direectional nonsense that he tried last year.

It's too much of a gamble to allow the returner to take it out of the endzone.

[ChldsPlay]

I just think that even with Bailey 90% of the kickoffs will either be a touchback or have a returns that don't go farther than 1 or 2 yards past the 20, and with many of those around, or even inside the 15.

I just don't think there would be more than a handful of kickoffs, all year, where there would be much of an advantage at all, and even then it should be pretty minimal.

I would like to see that minimized as well, but there are some game situations when your team is trailing the opponent and the clock is working against you. If you don't want to risk an onside kick to get the ball back quickly, a [well-placed] directional kickoff could pin your opponent within the ten or fifteen yard line. Every bit of extra field position would then give the defense an opportunity of getting the ball back in the hands of their offense.

Umm. Do you understand the logic of why teams directional kick? Directional kicking is infinitely more logical than kicking right down the center of the field. You limit the directional choices the returner can go. Meaning, you have less field that your special teams unit has to cover.

[Risen Star]

Umm. Do you understand the logic of why teams directional kick? Directional kicking is infinitely more logical than kicking right down the center of the field.

I've seen the directional kicking backfire on Coach D many times.

The strategy is good, but you need an accurate kicker/punter to make it all work. Buehler's put a few out of bounds and set the offense up at the 40 due to trying to place the ball at a spot rather than just teeing off.

[Sam I Am]

There is no way the Cowboys don't keep him on the roster. He would be snatched up in a heartbeat. Besides, they need the depth at WR and he is easily in the top five WRs on the team and we will keep an absolute minimum of five.

That is a kicker error, not an error in logic. It's a logic error to kick straight down the middle of the field. Coaches get fired for illogical decision making.

You would have to have an extremely horrible kicker to make kicking down the center the logical choice. (i.e. he kicks it out of bounce A LOT)

[Mash]

With the KO shorter this year....directional kicking might not be as important....

Sure they want to pin them deep on one side of the field...but because of the shorten KO and the hang time Buehler can kick.....it wont have to be perfect.

I think you can kick it straight down the middle as long as you have enough hang time. Maybe Im expecting to much out of this 5 yard difference....but on NFLN they were saying this could be a secret weapon not talked or used much in preseason.

Anyways....to be safe.....I just have Buehler always try to kick the ball out of the endzone ...and give the team the ball on the 20.

[Sam I Am]

Beuhler kicked the ball out of bounds 3 times last year.

Out of how many kickoffs? Maybe 64? (averaging 4 a game) That would be a about 4% of his kickoffs kicked out of bounds. You want zero, but 4% isn't worth NOT using directional kicking.

[Sam I Am]

With the KO shorter this year....directional kicking might not be as important....


I would think Beuhler should be able to get 100% touchbacks with the new rules, so I agree. The only directional kicking should be the punter.

[burmafrd]

Umm. Do you understand the logic of why teams directional kick? Directional kicking is infinitely more logical than kicking right down the center of the field. You limit the directional choices the returner can go. Meaning, you have less field that your special teams unit has to cover.

what was being talked about was trying to get the opponent pinned down late in the game when we were behind. Directional kicking in that example rarely works.

Now as regards trying to kick away from a dangerous returner, you are still better off trying to get it as deep as possible and with Beuhler that is.

[kmd24]

Out of how many kickoffs? Maybe 64? (averaging 4 a game) That would be a about 4% of his kickoffs kicked out of bounds. You want zero, but 4% isn't worth NOT using directional kicking.

Buehler kicked off 84 times in 2010.

[Risen Star]

With the KO shorter this year....directional kicking might not be as important....

It shouldn't be. Unless you really have a strong coverage team and want to pin them even deeper than the 20.

If it's me and we must keep Buehler, then I'd just have him tee off on all kickoffs. Take the touchback and let's play defense.

[Bluestang]

Out of how many kickoffs? Maybe 64? (averaging 4 a game) That would be a about 4% of his kickoffs kicked out of bounds. You want zero, but 4% isn't worth NOT using directional kicking.


85 KOs last year, 79 KOs in '09 with none of them kicked out of bounds. A ball kicked out bounds is a disaster. Helps the other team's momentum and play calling opportunities.

[Risen Star]

Out of how many kickoffs? Maybe 64? (averaging 4 a game) That would be a about 4% of his kickoffs kicked out of bounds. You want zero, but 4% isn't worth NOT using directional kicking.

I don't know the stats, I just know he screwed it up more than a couple of times.

The Dallas Cowboys released the following players:

Unless they were keeping 6 WRs, I didn't see Johnson making it. No way he beats our Harris and Holley seemed to be too valuable as well.
He may not clear waivers though.

Brandon Tate does interest me though.
