Cowboys kicker Tristan Vizcaino missed four straight FGs from 33, 38, 39 and 39 yards

The distances with the number 3 in front of them are a real problem.

As a modern NFL kicker how can you miss a 33 yarder?

Break out the 4th down gambles and 2 point conversion plays

 

[RonWashington]

Robbie Gould an option

Robbie Gould an option

He’s not. Still wants paid and doesn’t kickoff

So you think it’s going to be easier for him to kick at AT&T in a real game than in a training camp practice? It may not be long before he’s looking for another job, and the Cowboys are looking to add another kicker to the competition.

Yes, the conditions are not good at camp. It is a swirling wind there. The Cowboys stadium is a good one to kick at.

I do not see why all the love for Crosby, stats are so-so maybe he gets a pass on some of the misses since he is an outdoor kicker. He has lost leg strength, and is career 81.4% on FG and is 97% on XP he also had a horrible season 2 years ago.

For context the current NFL record for highest fg % in history is 90.4% (Justin Tucker) who also has a 98.8% XP percentage. Just thought we should give context between what we are considering so-so and what the greatest ever's numbers are.

Can we get a real kicker please

......for a change!

 

[Buzzbait]

Is Jerrah really going to squander this season cause of kicker?

It's starting to look like it.

I know he can kick FG’s .

Then option B Mason Crosby . Jerry should have had a kicker by March they knew they had moved on from Maher .

People over here worried about Tyron Smith losing a few snaps to the best defensive player in the league when in reality this right here is our biggest problem.

Sorry, but that’s a very poor excuse. Kickers have to deal with all kinds of conditions. If he’s struggling in training camp during a competition, he’s in real trouble. It won’t be just AT&T he’ll be kicking at. Viscaino looks like he’s not going to be around very long.

 

[Scotman]

Someone please tell me we are practicing with concrete footballs or something.

 

[JW82]

sounds like a true Maher replacement...

 

[gimmesix]

Tough place to kick.

I glossed over this in one of the other kicking threads, but that is a good point. I'm not sure how much of a breeze they are facing, but that can definitely affect success rate. Now, the fact that Aubrey only missed half as many kicks doesn't bode well for Vizcaino.

 

[gimmesix]

I don't think range is Aubrey's strength. If we want range, we should have held on to the guy we had.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

The Maher Curse.

 

[links18]

Just when you think they had a not completely incompetent off season, you realize the organization is still a clown show.

 

[America's Cowboy]

These kickers SUCK!!!

Should have kept Maher. SMH

Start looking in the Australian rugby leagues and Japanese football leagues for a few accurate kickers, bring them in and try them out.

Meanwhile former Cowboy Greg Zuerlein is 3 for 3 in the Hall of Fame game including a 40 and 50 yarder.

Mason Crosby

Wouldn't shock me.....
