We were told there was nobody trying to fire up the team

I just LOVE that Michael Gallup is a Cowboy.

I don't love that the Cowboys didn't at least bring a kicker or two this week. Just to send a message if nothing else.

Who are you going to bring in and who are you cutting

ANYBODY that fancies themselves an NFL caliber kicker.

You'd be cutting Maher. (Was that a trick question?)

Have you seen the list of kickers out there there isn't any that's better. The New England Patriots just try it out 5 kickers they settled on Nugent and he missed an extra-point versus the skins. Who you want Kai forbath Shayne Graham.

You do realize our kicker missed two FGs Sunday, right, including one that should have been a gimme? That's after a season where he ranked 18th in percentage (for any kicker with 20 or more attempts)?

I get you are hard wired to defend everything this franchise does, but surely you have to admit K is a problem, right?

What's your point? Maher is sucking as bad as those guys, firstly.

Second, just bringing them in to take a look sends a serious message to Maher even if you don't replace him (yet).

Whether it's a problem or not where you going to get a kicker. You all think the answer to everything is replace, where you have to have somebody to replace that player with. I don't expect you to pay attention but at the 50:00 mark you hear Newyy explain that the list of kickers are not out there. And it's not just him saying it a lot of teams are looking for a kicker

oh he's not talking about fixing a problem, just sending a message. :)

You don't think that guy knows his situation you don't need to bring someone in to send a message especially if that guy isn't any good either

What's it hurt to bring in a few kickers, maybe even as an incentive to Maher.

But the Cowboys do what the Cowboys do........... think everything is OK until something craters on them.

As I said who are you going to bring in what incentive to Maher if the kicker you bring in is it any good either

If you bring in a new kicker you might as well replace your old one.

Just bring in kickers for evaluation or competition will mess around with the kickers confidence.

With those kickers it is all mental.

you don't think it's stupid to cut someone when you have no one better hanging out by the vending machines or something?

I think it's stupid to cut someone if you don't have someone better to replace them. If there was a better option out there then yeah cut him don't further mess with his head by bringing someone else in that is not better

Why don’t they bring in players at every position for tryouts? Send a message to all the backups.

Im sure the team recognizes Maher is not that reliable. When they think the free agent market may have something better they will try out some kickers.

Does this sound like a reasonable solution?

Internet coaches love the idea of “sending messages.”

No, let’s have the coaching staff spend half the day watching some scrubs kick the ball around so we can “send a message” to Maher. Then he will start kicking better after that.
