Cowboys will evaluate kicker position, ahead of 49er game

You don’t cure the Yips in 5 days. Bring someone in asap.

I'd have him attempt multiple kicks tomorrow on a grass surface. If he does it well, then I'd have him repeat it the next day. We need to be able to make a decision by Friday at the latest.

The way this season has gone for the Cowboys, I won't be surprised to see Maher miss 2 PATs and then make a 59 yard field goal to win the game.

lol

I agree with those who want Maher gone. I’m sure there are other kickers available. He’s done. I don’t trust him.

You are sure? You know a lot about kickers? I got news for you. The guys you are agreeing with don't know anything.

A. He is a Mafia target
B. Awed by the GOAT.
C. Didn't pay his Girl Scout cookie bill.

Coach him up or get him a shrink.

 

[JJ1986]

Why? It was 1 game....

It’s the playoffs. Jimmy would have cut him during the game. Football is a business, not a charity.

 

[Shane612]

Keep him.
Who you gonna bring in?

HIM----->
Caden Davis is entering his redshirt junior season as the presumed starting kicker for Texas A&M, finally stepping out of the shadow of the former 4-year starting kicker for the Aggies, Seth Small. As one of the top kickers in the country in the 2019 recruiting class, Davis began his special team’s career at Coppell High School in Coppell, Texas, earning the 1st team kicking job during his 2016 sophomore season, making an exceptional 51/51 on PATs, and 15/20 with a long of 51 yards on field goals

He did not have a bad day. He had an absolute EPIC meltdown. Set the record for most consecutive missed PATs in the history of the game. We really need to take a look at other options right now.

That's a bad day, Chicken Little. You can freak out if you want to but that's on you. Brett Maher will be fine. The sky isn't falling. The decision to stand by him is the correct one.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

..yep, I must say, it was bizarre. 4 in row.

5 if you count the one vs Commanders

Yeah, you actuary can if they just started, much like getting right on the shanks when one gets them in golf. Someone will get him to disengage his brain during the kicking process (I hope) and he should be fine.

 

[Clove]

To be a kicker, you'd better have a strong resolve because all eyes are on you, and if it comes down to a title, all they need is 3, you'd better have your sacks attached real tight.

It’s crazy how nobody wants to talk about how perfect he was all year and then BOOM, all of a sudden he’s missing 4 easy XP’s. Hmmmmm, at the same time the magic number in Vegas on Monday Night in the over ends up being 4 points shy. Wow, y’all can call it a coincidence all you want. Vegas pockets are much deeper than the NFL, and it’s not even close!

So like the whole defense against the Jaguars? Replace them all too?

Jeez, he'll be our kicker on Sunday if they like what they're hearing from him this week. Yes hearing, not seeing. Because we know he can. This is about whether he still knows he can. I'm still on Team Maher.

NOT a D*** chance. You know why, let me spell it out for you and the rest of you football geniuses. Not one Jimmy team carried more than one kicker in the active list. Stop with all this 4th grade stuff about changing kickers mid game. This week, that might be a possibility, yesterday, there was zero chance.

 

[lostar2009]

Did you see Mahr's face when McCarthy went for it on 4th down instead of going for the field goal? He looked like he said rats, Hahaha, he looked like Charlie Brown getting rejected by the girl that didn't want to be his friend. Poor guy.

No poor guy. Dude miss 4 straight fgs. There is no room in the NFL for that. Especially since someone mentioned he did a wiff against Wash too.

 

[DogFace]

He better be practicing right now on that narrower than regulation field goal set up.

 

[noshame]

Kicking coach should spot what was wrong during film
No need to panic

 

[Runwildboys]

Maher will be the Cowboys kicker Sunday against the 49ers.

Book it.

As he should be. He finally put the last one right up the middle, so hopefully he's over it. Maybe he was unsure on that grass, maybe he got in a fight with his girlfriend, maybe he was sick and didn't realize it...Whatever the case, after all the long FGs he hit this season, I'm willing to give him another chance...just maybe have someone standing by, in case he misses his first try.
