David Buehler didn't do anything but kick the last two seasons for USC, but the Cowboys are experimenting with using him in other special teams roles to maximize the kickoff specialist's value on the gameday roster.
Buehler, a scout team fullback and safety his first season at USC whose combine numbers (4.62 40, 25 bench press reps) were impressive by linebacker standards, will work with the second-team punt and punt return units during the preseason opener. Buehler is a left wing on punt and left end on punt return.
The physical aspect of playing non-kicking special teams roles in fine by Buehler. He's actually having fun. The biggest adjustment is mentally preparing for the different roles.
"It's two ends of the spectrum," Buehler said. "You have to keep calm and composed for kicking, and you have to pump yourself up for special teams. So that's something I have to find a happy medium with."

There's word coming from the Alamodome that Chuck Norris has shown up to watch his spawn compete for the starting roles of QB, RB, and NT.

I'm a bit slow but why are people talking about Buehler like that? I missed a lot apparently when he got drafted.

Wrong Sacamano. He can benchpress 225lbs 225 times AND run 5 miles in 4.63 seconds.

I saw the thread title and knew it would be about the Buehler.

 

[Cowboys22]

I can see the newest rule named for a Cowboy with the next 2 years.

The Buehler Rule: Kickoffs will be from the 25 yard line and all kickers must immediately run off the field after kicking off.

The league will deem it unfair that we basically have a linebacker kicking the ball 5-9 yards deep in the endzone every kickoff who can also cover kicks well enough to negate the receiving teams 11 on 10 advantage.

nice

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Chuck Norris is welcomed at any Cowboy event.

AS LONG AS HE DOESN'T START CLAIMING HE IS A TEXAN -- WHICH HE IS NOT!!!!!

 

[TellerMorrow34]

That will be interesting if he's able to help out in all those ways on Special Teams. That would be very nice to see.

The envy of little men is monumental.

 

[Future]

I've never seen a kickoff specialist get so much hype. He better be the real deal.
