News: Cowboys working out kickers Nugent, Myers, Irwin Hill and Koo

[TheCoolFan]

No Aguayo?

I can see Jerry saying "I want the Young Ho" when he is given the choice of kickers available.

Jerry: "We can get a young ho? That's Koo with me"

I see what u did there...

Sham was saying on 105.3 this morning he's expecting Bailey to be out at least four weeks.

The Nuge!

 

[okstateCowboy]

Well you can say the same for any kicker in the league before their first game.

The team had him in preseason and I know they liked him. If they think he is ready, they should give him a shot.

No. Irwin-Hill was not even a kicker in high school or college. He was a punter. He has literally never kicked in a regulation game before.

I'd like to see Irwin Hill get a shot

I was digging for stats, and you are correct. He did both for us in preseason though.

He did make 2/3 FG for us in preseason, and 7/7 XP's. Don't be surprised if he's the guy.

Santos is posting on Twitter that he is healthy. That is a no brainer.

Should be! He's an excellent kicker.

".....and Younghoe Koo kicks it through!"

Gotta go with him just for the name entertainment. Plus, he made 88.6% of his FG attempts at Georgia Southern, had 94% touchbacks, and also played DB at Ridgewood High in New Jersey. Born in Seoul.

Has a cool flip-kick FG on You-Tube.

Would he be the first Asian to play in the NFL?

Cowboys had Dat Nguyen, there were others besides Chung & Gabriel as well. Hines Ward has an asian parent as well.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Chung

Chung is Korean American, and was the first Asian American player to be drafted in the first round since Roman Gabriel in 1962.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Gabriel

Gabriel was born to Suzanne, an Irish-American woman, and Roman Gabriel, Sr., a Filipino immigrant, in Wilmington, North Carolina.[1]

I’d go with Irwin Hill if he has a good workout. Loved his kickoffs in preseason, and he kicked well. Anyone can miss a FG. It’s also likely that Bailey could be ready for 40 yarders a couple weeks before being ready for kickoffs with that groin strain. We might be in a short time situation where we carry two kickers on the active roster—one kicks the chippies; the other handles kick offs and is available if we need a long FG for a win.

 

[Corinthiano]

Santos. Yeah, I'm biased lol. But he has good stats.

I don't know if he's fully recovered, though.

 

[wilfred]

I like younghoe!! The 20-30 age group deserves a shot, too many old kickers hanging around

Sam didn't even miss. It was a block

This loss is HUGE HUGE. Bailey was one of the best kickers in the league. He is pretty much automatic. This is really going to hurt us.Bailey is that good. This is going to hurt us big time. Dan Bailey may very well be the best kicker in the league.

 

[John813]

No on Koo. Saw his missed against Miami. Not pretty.
Santos is my vote.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Ladouceur has my vote.

Yeah, let's try out some Younghoe.

I would love some Younghoe too, but I dont think it would work out well.

 

[conner01]

I have read we are working out seven kickers, these four, plus Santos, Dan Carpenter and Roberto Aguayo.

Santos would be the easy choice for me provided he is completely healthy.

Heck of a way to make a little Christmas money
Providing they can beat out Heath lol

 

[conner01]

What a serious loss Bailey will be. Huge asset and under valued. Ouch.

Very true
I even have to start watching extra points again
With Bailey you get a few extra bathroom breaks since he is automatic
