It's so puzzling what happened to Maher at the end of the season. He had such an amazing season and it looked like he would have a shot at a nice contract in the offseason. Then wheels fell off in a big way.

Glad he's getting another shot, I just don't see how it could be with the Cowboys.

If the Cowboys ditched every player who had a bad post season game, lot of current guys wouldn't be on the roster.

Jones just threw away a distinct advantage. Maher was the league's best kicker from distance. His only 3 misses were from 59, 59, and 46 yards. The Cowboys replaced the kicker who had the greatest regular season in team history with 2 jags off the street. The Jones way of doing things. Unsurprising.

I like the new kicker that they signed. If he doesn't make it, they will find another one.

I seem to remember a rule change where they couldn’t mark the spot anymore and that’s when it all started. So he may just have needed time to find a new routine.

I don’t remember that, they usually don’t make a rule change during the season. He just ran into a bad case of the yips.

So, is Vizcaino the plan for the Cowboys at kicker this season?

He is only 26 and been with about ten teams already. Not a real good track record.

Don't think Brandon Aubrey is the answer either.

Here's the problem with that....

yes they should have cut him, just as a wake up call for him but I would have brought him back for training camp to compete with these other two guys...

you don't know where his mental state is and 80% of this place was on board with cutting him and not bringing him back...

so don't say that Jones is quote Unquote, normally do this thing"...

Seriously?? lol they didn't damage the team on purpose....

I remember when he was brought in in the offseason nobody wanted him here, period end of story there was all they could talk about is the scrap heap and bringing back players and blah blah blah

then when he was cut, nobody seemed to really care that much and now all of a sudden you want to use it as a negative for the Jones?? that typical for cluless fans..

a distinct advantage LOL yes he was good last year up until a point but at some you have to cut some players when you think that maybe they're in need of it but for me I would have brought him back for training camp just like Denver is there's no guarantees he's going to be good this year but I would have given him a shot to compete with these other two kickers..

I seem to remember last offseason, how everyone said it was historically bad and we ended up winning 12 games... now you're pinning your whole season's hopes on a kicker how about this how about calm down let's play the season and talk about the moves that didn't work or that did work.... For all we know we have a new Dan Bailey on this team you never know when you straight gold when you're least expecting it...

Here's my counterpoint on kickers , especially ones that you think are always going to bail you out with a long field goal.

how about this,

I rather the coach does not have as much faith in a kicker so that way they are more creative on second and third down and either go for it more or try to score more touchdowns etcetera etcetera

too many times you when you have a really good kicker that can kick from long you pretty much almost do the Jason Garrett thing where you are playing for a field goal instead of a field goal being the only option you have left...​

Why are you here discussing Cowboys talk when it's apparent you're a Packers fan? Didn't you guys just let your kicker go can you not troll our area and go over and talk Packers with the Packers fans seriously you don't know anything about these two guys one of them could be the next greatest kicker of all time...

So somehow Packers nation seems to be full of positivity letting go of Aaron Rodgers Mason Crosby and a handful of other players I don't even know because I'm not controlling your page and yet we can't be positive about any changes we made..lol

Mason Crosby is still available. The Packers are going with the big leg of the rookie from Auburn with the huge leg, Anders Carlson.

Since when does a huge leg and some rookie from college give people any hope that you could depend on them? You're ripping our choices and I don't see anybody in those names that I recognize either you should be scared pick up Mason Crosby you're gonna need it cause you guys ain't gonna win more than nine games this year you're missing the playoffs..

Calm down kiddo. It's just a fan forum. I asked what the plan was at kicker. Wasn't cutting on your kickers, get a grip. Just saying the dude from the USFL may not be the answer.
