Is there ANY kind of reasonable reason WHY you would send your awful kicker out there to attempt a 60 yarder on the first series of a big game??I forgot which coach but I think I remember one saying that Special teams will win you two games each season.
I know ours lost a few with our kicker and poor field position.
Agreed.Probably our biggest upgrade of the offseason. Fat Mike's in his honeymoon period and everybody loves him but we don't really know how much better he is than Garrett. He didn't have to deal with any of the issues in Green Bay that he will here. Is Nolan any better than Marinelli? I'm all for getting Marinelli's voice out of the war room but Nolan certainly hasn't had more success running a defense.
But what can't be questioned is that Fassel is a better coach than what we've had coaching our STs in recent years. By a lot, actually.
This is the one area where the Cowboys should absolutely be better this year.
We know Mike is better than Garrett. Hell you are most likely better than Garrett. I'm talking as HC not as OC. I think Garrett is like Wade in that they are better coordinators than HCs. Rod fits in that category as well.Probably our biggest upgrade of the offseason.

Agreed, but according to some here, it was all Dak's fault.I forgot which coach but I think I remember one saying that Special teams will win you two games each season.

A kicker, Jeff Heath, and nine guys named Covington.
Outstanding performance.
Right on. We were and have been horrible on special teams the last few years. Dak really sucked on special teams.I think we only started one drive last season , On the opponent side of the field . I think if we fix special teams alone. We could have three more wins next season . And that’s enough to make it to the playoffs

Add in some defensive turnovers, a new kicker, a better HC/coaching staff and the Cowboys can make plans to play well into January.I think we only started one drive last season , On the opponent side of the field . I think if we fix special teams alone. We could have three more wins next season . And that’s enough to make it to the playoffs
1 more win would have put us in the playoffsI think we only started one drive last season , On the opponent side of the field . I think if we fix special teams alone. We could have three more wins next season . And that’s enough to make it to the playoffs
LolRight on. We were and have been horrible on special teams the last few years. Dak really sucked on special teams.
