Parcells better wake up and get a kickoff specialist - Dallas Cowboys Forum

Parcells had better wake up and get a kickoff specialits, because Venderjact gets hamstring pulls kicking off. Last time he did kickoff in 2003, he pulled hamstrings; and we all know what that does or leads too> cundiff started having pulled hamstrings in preseason, and boom, bad leg. On top of that, Verderjact, our new kicker is 36 years old, so we need to save him for kicks to win games.

wouldnt it be neat, say if Pat McGinistant, the guy we drafted in 6th round, can kick off, best I remember he punted at high school. Maybe one of our guys on the team can kick off. That would save us a roster spot, and Parcells would be happy. But we do need a kickoff guy.

I'd feel sorry for the ball.

Not cuz he's some big guy that might destroy the football. No. I feel sorry for the ball cuz it would have to be so close to quite possibly the ugliest human being on earth.

Hold on now -- gettting a hamstring pull kicking off doesn't mean you always get one kicking off.

also in 2003, he kicked off 99 times -- the most in his career. His kickoff average was 3 yards shorter than Vinatieri that year. he also was 37-37 on FGs and 46-46 on PATs. that sounds pretty damn durable to me. If he did that witha pulled hamstring then let's hope he gets two.

I bet Parcells has no idea what's going on with the football team.

Where's Danny White when you need him

You bring up a very good point that I am sure the Cowboys have already cked into and have a backup plan in place.

Actually I think he's the good-looking twin

Maybe that's why the other one is supposed to be better. His sheer ugliness probably scares the Defensive Linemen away!

That's why we drafted Skyler Green...I heard both he and EJ are versatile because they play lots of positions... = )

Maybe we could sign Mark Simoneau to be our KO specialist?

I just can't see Parcells wasting a roster spot on a kickoff specialist. We will bring in a young kicker or just keep Suisham around for the practice squad. If it becomes clear that Vandy is not getting the job done on kickoffs then we may use a kickoff specialist, but I doubt it. So we better just have an outstanding coverage unit.
