Are you confident Zuerlein will be back to form this week?

[jnday]

Why sign K Lirim Hajrullahu to the practice squad if the Cowboys are not going to let him have a kicking competition against Greg Zuerlein?

Fassel didn’t give Forbath a chance when he came to Dallas and Forbath was perfect during his time in Dallas. A long snapper with a couple of decades of perfection was not good enough for Fassel either. Fassel is so obsessed with his guys that nobody gets a honest chance to compete and win a starting position on special teams. It would not be a problem if his guys was improving the special teams units , but the results hasn’t been that good so far.

No confidence. Even Kristi Scales said during the game he didn't look confident in the pre game. Someone else said he hadn't looked confident at any time this year.

 

[Flamma]

Absolutely not. I'm just hoping that last FG he hit gave him some confidence. That was a big one. So I'll say no misses next game. But that's just wishful thinking.

I’m not confident that hes 100% ready. I don’t think he’s confident yet either. I think he will miss a kick this week.

I hope not. He and the bone dude need to go.

When its raining you look for any drop of sunshine you can find.

Not confident at all, don't think the team is either as they signed a kicker to the PS just in case he continues to struggle.

 

[Jarv]

There hasn't been a game I've been confident in him.

Even last year?

 

[BourbonBalz]

I have no idea how he’ll perform and don’t claim to. Neither does anyone else on here.

 

[glimmerman]

We will see. I hope he hit em all. He needs his confidence back.

Well the fact that they signed a kicker to the practice squad this week gives you an idea of the cowboys "confidence" in zuerlein, or shall I say "lack there of". Publicly the coaches are saying all the right things, but behind closed doors they are scratching their heads like the rest of us..

he drilled a 48 yarder would be game winner straight down the middle that would have been good from 55..id say that a good sign

anything else is why we watch the games..

HINT ;little secrets,

kicker miss Fgs especially 60yarders..so id say im confident he kicks the ones under 40 back to form but what if theres a bad snap, a block, long attempts.,.come on MAN!!

thats like asking will dak have incompletions, or Cedee more drops , an OL missed block, DB get burned..all answers yes it happens all year it happens..no ones prefect JEEZ!

so all 16 players on the PS in different positions is a sign all those positions are shaky...hmm not buying it lol

Good point. Also, doesn't speak volumes of confidence in their kicker's health/ability to bring in another kicker.

Apples to oranges. How many teams have two kickers on their team?

yeah man, you are totally right. It’s completely abnormal to have confidence in your kicker going an entire game without missing a kick. Good call man. It’s like predicting a pitcher to pitch a perfect game. My bad man.

Will they have 2 kickers active now that there is one on the practice squad?

 

[fivetwos]

Kickers are streaky, like baseball players.....and once they start thinking, it's over.

We've seen it first hand with Folk and Bailey.

Hopefully this isn't the case with Z, but it's tough to be confident.

Field goals aren't going to get it done this week anyway.

 

[xwalker]

The last four games of 2020 he was 12 for 13 field goals and perfect on 13 extra points. Perhaps he just had a bad game, perhaps his injury hindered his preparation or perhaps it just provided mental doubt, I don't know. Perhaps he isn't fully healed and took a chance, worried they might cut him.

Since it was one game I can't call it a slump. We have to look at the game on Sunday and see how he fares. Kickers react differently to adversity. I've seen some of them blow off a bad game and be perfect the next week and I've seen some nosedive never to be the same.

We'll just have to see. One thing I know. Kickers are probably the quickest at turning hate into love and visa versa. If he kicks in the game winner at the end with a 58 yarder as time expires, most fans will be in a forgiving mood.

Raymond James stadium was natural grass...

 

[xwalker]

Hopefully McCarthy and Kellen pull each other aside in the building at some point and privately agree to just go for it on 4th down way more aggressively in any situation that's reasonable once they've passed punting range..

Just leave the kicker home and always go for it on 4th when they would otherwise attempt a field goal.

No. Yes.
He can't be very confident. It's do or die time for him.
