Lirim Hajrullahu never had an opportunity to kick a Field Goal, but all 5 of his extra points were good, pretty much going down the middle and splitting the goal posts with good height, quick elevation and distance. Right down Detroit.

Lirim looked very good. He looked comfortable and confident when making his extra point kicks. Plus, he was excellent with his kickoffs, all of them landing deep into the endzone with all but 1 landing at least 8 yards deep with some decent hang time.

For the first time in a while, Lirim Hajrullahu's kicks were comforting and made one feel at ease, along with confidence with every extra point opportunity continuing to be kicked right in between the goal posts with good height, distance and accuracy, along with his booming kickoffs.

Should the Cowboys keep Greg Zuerlein on the covid list for another week to see how Lirim Hajrullahu performs once more next week vs the Chiefs?

Should the Cowboys give Lirim Hajrullahu another opportunity to keep proving himself, or should the Cowboys bring Greg Zuerlein back?

What say you?

:popcorn:
You his agent or something? Damn that was a long *** post for a fill-in kicker who made five XP’s.

Or the Cowboys are protecting Greg Zuerlein since everyone knows Greg is Bones Fassel's personal favorite. Zuerlein has missed FGs, extra points and even kicked kick offs out of bounds, yet you prefer not to create a Kicking competition?
I mean that’s not really consistent with how they run this team this season. Greg the leg has missed a few kicks to start the game but I can understand why they’d be more comfortable with a vet then a younger guy. Remember everyone doubted them on Angee too.

Lirim played in the CFL with my Winnipeg Blue Bombers. I am biased but get rid of Greg the leg. Lirim is an excellent kicker and will do just fine for us. Yesterday his kicking was on point.

I've never seen a kicker miss so many extra points. I'm fine with Zuerline just staying home for the rest of the year. There's absolutely no excuse for it. None.

He's been making his living kicking footballs for years so he's a good option when you're forced to find a kicker midseason.

I've seen him make FGs in bad weather in Canada so he won't face anything here that he hasn't already seen.

Exactly there is no worse weather come late season or playoff time than in Winnipeg and I saw Lirim kick many in bad conditions. He is not going to choke under pressure. He is a veteran.

I dunno either. I do know that the Dolphins had a kicker in the 60s and 70s hailing from Yugoslavia. Would be cool to see Lirim make his country proud. According to Wikipedia, he immigrated to Canada as a result of the war in his home country as a young chap.
You gotta like his back story!

Not going to lose his job from 5 PAT's.
He may miss next game depending on his status. But he will not be released.

Forgetting too that Z is Fassel's boy.

This coaching staff won't hesitate to hold accountability.

But he's not getting rid of someone he's been through the fire with for 5 XP. LOL
