Signed by Cowboys Cowboys sign K Kai Forbath

[Aven8]

Dude lost us 4 spots on the draft!!!!!

I like it. Please bring in some comp though.

I like him because he DOESN'T have a big leg - which hopefully will fit into MM's slightly more aggressive posturing on 4th downs and lead to less bonehead drive-killer 52+ yarders.

I agree. Give me a guy who makes 'em all from 45-in and one from 50+ at the end of a half once in a while--and kicks WAY more PAT's than FG's.

I know everybody's excited and I don't want to be a mentally ill hater trying to rain on your parade but keep in mind the last time this dream team thing was attempted it backfired on the Eagles.

But that eventually brought them to acquiring Wentz. Granted it took a long while, but that was the start of them eventually picking your dream QB.

I'm sure you think the wait was well worth it.

You know, you really are a sarcastic *******.

But every so often you drop a gem that is absolutely hilarious.

Good job.

Perfectly fine with bringing Forbath back, as long as there's competition. Maybe grab some promising rookie leg.

Forbath = good move!

Brown = bad move! ( below average CB in the slot or outside. Misses way to many tackles, fast but doesn’t play that way)

 

[chagus]

Dude earned it. Solid signing.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Forbath was solid. Any reason to not like it?

Zuerline was available. Best kicker in the game.

 

[Cattle_Rancher]

I just hope they don't just hand him the job like they did last year need a couple of guys and a few punters

 

[iceberg]

We are really going for it this year.

put the snark away spanklette and tell me a better option.

Zuerline was available. Best kicker in the game.

Ehh only 72% last season and likely wanted a decent payday

Zuerline is a complete stud. Cowboys will find out the hard way, once they start getting deep into the playoffs, that going cheap on a kicker is dumb. no doubt another lesson they will have to learn the hard way. How expensive can a kicker really be?

Hope we learned our lesson last year about not bringing in competition for the job.

If the price is right, I'd sign Zeurlein too. Kickers are streaky.

Yup

 

[Portnoy1]

Agree!! Our punter was horrible last year!! Definite upgrade is needed!!

I'd replace Jones as kicker, but definitely keep him on as a back up Safety. Let's not forget how he laid out that long returner against Detroit.

Happy Dance

Fun fact: Forbath is the 9th most accurate kicker in NFL History.

He and Dan Bailey were both regarded as the best kicker at one point during college, Forbath in 2009 and Bailey in 2010.

Had Forbath not been injured who knows if Bailey would've won the competition to be our kicker in 2011. When Bailey was shining for us early on I expected Forbath to have a similar career with one team, but he's jumped around for whatever reason.

Just when I had forgotten his ginger face...
