"If I hit it well, it's going through the back of the end zone," Buehler said. "When we get to the new stadium, I predict I'll have 80 percent touchbacks. With all the intangible things, with no real wind factor, I think I can get to 80 percent."

I'll be happy with 30%.

If he goes 80% I think even Hos might fall in love.

Let's not get carried away :laugh2:

Buehler's so good, he'll have 110% touchbacks.

His affection (or lack thereof) for kickers cracks me up. Did Hos ever reveal to everyone what his thoughts were on the Buehler draft pick?

He did on dc's radio show but I don't remember the exact words.

i might have to buy his jersey if he does that.

If he does that, he should be the team MVP and should be rookie of the year. No other rookie would have more impact on their team than that. If he could truely do that, he would honestly be worth a 1st round pick in terms of his impact on improving the team.

 

[WG5516]

wow... like someone said above, i'd be happy with 30%...

 

[Woods]

I don't see him hitting at an 80% rate.

But anything over around 30-35% is very good, IMO.

I could see him hitting around a 50% in our stadium (no wind, etc.), simply because I think he's got a tremendous leg.

EDIT: Wow, kind of neat, a kicker thread.

 

[Jon88]

That would be great. We never get touchbacks.

I've been watching Cowboys football for quite a while.

What is this "touchback" Buehler speaks of?

I don't remember seeing any.

 

[JonJon]

80%? Even Chuck Norris couldn't do that without using some sort of a roundhouse.

 

[reddyuta]

i remember on poster here who was determined to prove that wind will be a factor in the new stadium and hence will affect Buehler's kickoffs

lmao!

 

[ArmyCowboy]

Whether or not the kid can crank 80% touchbacks is yet to be seen.

However, I do like the fact that he knows his role (kickoffs) and had embraced it, rather than coming in and saying he's going to beat out Folk or something like that.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Buehler's so good, he'll have 110% touchbacks.

Buehler's kicks travel so far he can turn around and catch them himself.

 

[viman96]

Do other kickers average 80% touchbacks?

 

[juck]

This dude does have a wicked wicked leg.Its sick Chris in SoCal u know u have seen it.
