RELEASED Cowboys cut K Lirim Hajrullahu

[Direwolf63]

Greg the Leg looks like a worse release with each passing month. And he wasn't Mr. Reliability as he recovered from surgery last season.

Apparently, he's won the job in Philly

Normally, I would think any player who "won" a competition would feel confident in the confidence that the team had in him. However, kickers are a different breed, so I do not trust in any self-confidence Maher may be feeling right now.

I hope we score lots of TD's this year because my god the kicking game is going to have us all popping Xanex prior to every game.

Big leg means zero without consistency. Maher was let go for a reason. And this is the best we could do? Embarrassing offseason to say the least. NFL is a sport where the margin of victory is the smallest of any sport. So many games decided by less than one score and guess what that means? Kicking plays a big part. We have not had a reliable kicker since Bailey in 2016. This front office keeps throwing stuff to the wall and hoping it sticks.

Give me a guy who can be relied on from the 30s-low 50s rather than some big leg who can connect on the 60s but is horribly erratic with the ones he should be making.

It's the equivalent from the guy at the local court who can make the crazy trick shots but can not make the consistent short shots. So he gets killed in a game of HORSE.

Basically what I was saying and prod didn’t state very well...was last few years when Cowboys would miss a FG...esp a longer one and other team gets good field position they seemed to drive it down our throats because of no middle D or pass rush and just overall poor D play. That will not be the case on a consistent basis like in past years
We finally have a D with some true ballers and brawlers along with some depth and a helluva D coach settled in....I think we will be able to take even more chances because of the faith they have in the defense
Like I said....this year all about the D

Lirim isn't a kid. He's 32, kicked in Canada for years. Opposite of Maher in that he doesn't have a strong leg.

figure of speech, I thought his accuracy under 40 was better no?

 

[ConstantReboot]

I called it after we signed Maher. We’re familiar with him and he’s made kicks at the NFL level. Plus he has a big leg.

I still don't like him. So he made kicks in the NFL should not be the reason he gets to start.

I'm sure we could find someone better. This schtick that "we like our guys" past or present, is getting old.

drink more scotch it helps

I'm cheap, I drink Vodka with orange juice and light beer.

I don’t like him either but I trust him a little more than a kicker that’s never made a kick in the NFL. Maher did make a few important kicks for us. That does give him an edge over what we had in camp. Both were struggling to make kicks in practice.

I’m sure he lands in Jacksonville who has no kickers

Bright side is, I could never say or spell his last name.

 

[john van brocklin]

In Maher we trust............and if you believe that you're an idiot.

Trust like respect is learned....

 

[visionary]

I bet he was cut because MM and Jerry could not pronounce his name

 

[john van brocklin]

Dallas Cowboys, paddling in circles for the last quarter century.

Not sure how that applies to the kicker.
But it's a none the less true statement .

 

[lk8701]

He went before we picked in the 4th. So we would’ve had to draft him in the 3rd

Probably could've traded up using a 5th round pick.

 

[Ring6]

Maher's kicks seem to double curve - they go right for a while then start to bend back left. Weird.

On long kicks, they eventually bend back. On shorter ones, they don't.

Hopefully he isn't the reason Dallas loses to the Eagles. Also hope Maher or whomever is the kicker isn't the reason Dallas loses to the Eagles.

So we need to be on edge for EPs again, Big Mac should go for 2 every time

~before the cut day~

Hajrullahu: You cannot pronounce my name can you, sir?
Jones: Son, all you need worry is me signing MY name on YOUR checks. YEEEEEHAWWWW!

That won’t be anything new we were on edge for PAT’s last season.
