Brett Maher now 8 of 9

Great job, Dan...I mean Brett.

The organization showed brass balls by cutting their pro bowl level kicker for a newby. It was the right move based on recent history. Bailey's best days are probably behind him. It's good to see the franchise being proactive.

This move ranks right up there with cutting Dez as one of the better moves made by the organization in recent franchise history.

I took some brass ones
Hopefully he goes on and makes everyone forget about bailey in the future
Loved bailey and I probably couldn’t have made that move but it was a smart move
Like any move if it works you are a genius

happy for the kid. That was a potentially season ruining and career derailing kick he calmly nailed.

Good job

Ya,no doubt ,,,that #2 is SOLID, I was thinking how glad I was to NOT be standing in his cleats right then

 

[Melonfeud]

Was I surprised no!!! This guy has kicked in the CFL he is no slouch. Try kicking out doors in swirling winds and cold temperatures at the end of the season in the CFL.

That sidebar said his longest was a 58 yarder C.F.L.,,,that's the first I'd heard about any of his background.

 

[lukin2006]

He has been good. I want to see if he can hit some 55 yarders.

It is reported he has a bit more range than Bailey had in his prime.

 

[Maxmadden]

He will have to build the Cowboy fans trust. He looked really nervous on the sideline before the kick. Maybe it was just his game face.

Before Bailey, I used to leave the room when we kicked field goals. I stayed today so he is one up with me.

 

[DandyDon52]

They were out of timeouts

They used them on first and second.

That’s why we were able to snap the third down and run it from 30 seconds to around 4

ok thanks for the reply makes sense now.

Good job

Excellent way to put it. So true.

I'm not going to lie- as my heart was racing watching Maher line up for the game winner, I couldn't stop thinking about the decision to cut Dan Bailey.

But it looks like the Cowboys made the right call, so far. Got a solid kicker and saved some cap space.

While I was always a big Dan Bailey fan, and it's a bit weird to lose 2 of our 4 longest tenured players in one offseason (now only LP and Sean Lee have really been on this team for all that long), can we just take some time to notice that Maher has been pretty good since most people were calling for his head after the Seahawks game? 8 for 8 in the last 3 games with some decently long kicks there as well.

3rd Maher thread today

Sorry, where at, looked at the first 2 pages and didn't see one updated since the game ended... is it in another forum, never leave here... oh well you can delete it if you want.

 

[Ebnorice]

Not trying to be rude. I was just letting you know. I think it’s on the 2nd page

 

[endersdragon]

Oh I see it now, I did control-f for Maher, didn't see the "FG kicker". It's quite alright I know multiple threads get annoying.

 

[Parcells4Life]

FO has made good moves. It’s up to coaches to utilize them.

While seeing Dez is a no huddle offense would be fun to watch as a co-worker I don’t envy the team for having to deal with him during the week based off the footage we saw in All or Nothing

Good job

I thought he looked super intense and nervous when the cameras showed him on the sidelines at the beginning of that final drive lol

But yes, great job today!

 

[Roadtrip635]

Did anyone else hear the post game interview with Maher? I watched it on the local station, but haven't seen a link yet. You can tell he's not used to giving interviews, poor guy sounded nervous as heck. He done good today!

 

[Cowboy Brian]

A 38 yard field goal once upon a time didn't call for cheers. That time was when we had the second most accurate kicker in NFL history.

 

[InTheZone]

Not last year. It's a "what have you done lately" kind of league.

yes we're aware. He was hurt and the coaches played him regardless.
