Best Cowboys Kicker?

Who can forget this little gem. You have to skip to the 1:41 mark to see Larry Allen's reaction to Jose Cortez.

LOL!!!! I remember that. Maybe Larry apologized. The snap caused the poor kick. But that cracked me up. Larry didn't see the snap. But who knows, maybe Larry didn't care?

We need to hire Larry for Special Teams. If any of our kickers miss a kick, he gets to go on the field and kick their butts!! LOL

During his brief tenure with the Cowboys (3 years), Chris Boniol had a 26 straight FG streak, missed one, then had a 27 straight FG streak.

He left because the Cowboys had cap issues and couldn't match the Eagles offer to him as a restricted free agent.

If nothing else, you can tell Larry cared about winning. I'm not sure how many players today do.

I remember Boniol. Wasn't he the kicking coach when Dan Bailey was here?

He was an assistant special teams coach for Dallas from 2010-2013. He's since been with the Raiders.

He also kicked 7 FGs, an NFL record at the time, to beat the eventual Super Bowl champion Packers in 1996. The last one came with time expiring and the Cowboys comfortably ahead, causing Reggie White to cuss out Switzer.

Bailey was amazing for several years there.

Yeah, "just" a kicker, but another great talent wasted in the Garrett years.

I'm thinking Larry Allen could throw him 15 yards.

With all of the kicking woes so far in camp, it got me thinking: who was the best Cowboys kicker? Bailey probabaly has the stats, but I grew up with Septien and he was pretty good too. Who else is in the mix?

Bailey was the best ever to wear the star in my opinion....

 

[john van brocklin]

Dan Bailey was the best. Rafael Septian was second and Efrén Herrera was third in my opinion.

Sounds about right.
