RELEASED Cowboys waiving K Garibay, expected to sign Maher

[America's Cowboy]

I just read a quote from Maher that makes me feel slightly better. Can't seem to copy it, but he essentially said he "had a lot of difficult conversations with myself" since he was last with our team and worked on being more consistent and staying focused on the kicking process instead of being distracted by the "outside world." Of course, many players say similar things. We'll see if he proves it. He was 10-12 on extra points, so that's certainly more a focus/process issue than ability since we know he can make from 60-plus.

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

This makes sense. Sometimes it takes to be cut from America's Team to be forced to analyze what one is doing wrong and how to fix it. Glad to hear Maher acknowledged what was wrong and how he needed to focus much more on concentration and technique while drowning out all of the outside noise. Let's hope that translates to much better results this second time around since it is very rare any player is given a 2nd chance to play for the Cowboys.

There is no way that they would have 2 kickers on the roster.

Only happened once, and not for long.

 

[plasticman]

booo. Get off the stage.

swing and a miss

You're right, it's an oldie. I'll bet everyone saw that one coming.

I realize you are "America's Cowboy" but getting fired, in general, is usually cause for reflection. It certainly was in my case, years ago, and I didn't work for the Cowboys.

Whatever the case, I hope Maher's limited performance last season is what we get this season. We've all felt a lot of anxiety on kicks since the "money" Bailey days, so it would be nice to have confidence that our kicker can, and will, succeed when called upon.

I wouldve gone with "Cobra" Kai Forbath.

 

[phildadon86]

Really? They signed 3 players in the last 2 weeks and still have money for the swing tackle that they need and a receiver if needed.

Yay. Plan the parade!

Who else is there? Dan Bailey?

Badgley, former Chargers and Colts kicker was damn near automatic from under 40 yards.

97.6% on XP, something like 40-41 from under 40 for FGs.

He sucks long range but rather have someone that can make one under 40 than Maher who maybe can nail a 62 yarder but it's anyones guess if he'll make a 40 yard "easy" kick.

Why is it so hard for the Cowboys to just move on from guys?

I mean, they're really bringing Maher back? Why? Because he played here in the past and is a familiar face?

What a horribly ran franchise.

Rinse and repeat...

Not sure why everyone keeps saying Forbath. He is likely done after ankle surgery. He missed all of 2021 and remains unsigned

 

[erod]

31 other teams are doing to cut kickers soon. Some of them are pretty good.

I wasnt aware of his surgery. Thanks for the update.

 

[glimmerman]

What happened to the other kicker that was doing better than the one fired. Can not pronounce his name.

Hajrallahu is still here. He'll compete with Maher, I guess.

He is been pretty good.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Why watch then? Enjoy being so negative on a daily basis? What else do you expect the Cowboys to do, Einstein? They are trying their best!

Done reading your daily anti-Cowboys comments. You are going to be my 1st on my ignore list.

Ya see, AC.

You think putting me on ignore is going to stop me making fun of your horrible takes. The only thing it stops is you popping up in my notiifcations trying to defend those horrible takes.

I like that way much more.

Dallas chooses to protect tacking the last shot of a game from long ranges...

[Pantone282C]

May the best Maher win!

 

[Toro9]

Great.
Mr. "I won't lose any sleep tonight" ...

Why not Kai Forbath?

 

[Toro9]

Only happened once, and not for long.

Yup. Who could forget the extra kickoff coverage guy experiment?
