Kicker Has Gone From Top 3 Need To Top 3 Performer

[Mr_437]

I like that fact he came back and made the FG no problem.

 

[RodeoJake]

Unfortunately he missed an XP today, but I'm not mad. He's been money all year.

I'm mad. It coulda cost us the game if the Carolina would've remembered how to play football.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

They really have.

27 straight years of failure will do that for you.

Yeah because Will McClay was here 27 years ago.....just lazy and silly at this point.

 

[KJJ]

All the best kickers the Cowboys have had began with the team as rookies, except for Rafael Septien.

"Honestly this front office and team has earned our trust in regards to personnel issues"

Welcome to CowboysZone. Keep your hands inside the ride at all times. Dispatch.

Says the person who thought Carson Wentz was going to be good.

Interesting that both of his missed extra points came on quick unexpected scores.

 

[rambo2]

I guarantee not one single person in here, including you, was comfortable with the kicker situation going into the season

I was comfortable. That makes you wrong.

 

[rambo2]

You're right no one was comfortable. But some people chose to run their mouths like they knew we were f--ked.

No, he is wrong.

That extra point miss was ugly.

 

[MapleLeaf]

From the tape shown in camp there was no indication that this would be the type of performer he would become.

I'm glad he has done what he has, but it was not unwise to be calling for more kicking competition during camp. I for one and a proponent that no one should ever feel comfortable about their position on the Cowboys. Including Dak, CeeDee and Micah.

If you can't handle competition you don't belong in this league.

Did he today?

He did but was 2/2 on FG.

 

[glimmerman]

A thread about the kicker. He missed one today. But he came back and was right back on track. He never let it get in his head. Ice cold blood in his veins. I like it.. Never shook him…

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

I was comfortable. That makes you wrong.

Sure

But I was told multiple times prior to the season that Jerry was a fool for listening to his coach and not bringing in veteran kicker, and our season would be tragic because of the kicker

Got lucky on K this year, whiffed on LB, might’ve gotten a bit of luck on RB, blew it so badly last year on WR that it might’ve cost us the playoff loss.
Sometimes the chance taking works out, sometimes it doesn’t. As for K, I think the biggest smart move is our kicking coach/es must be incredible, they’ve turned a lot of chopped liver into a main course.

They made their own luck.

Nope, you only increase or decrease your odds.
Can never predict some guy stepping up big time or some guy flaming out or getting the yips…
That’s why the condescending post I was replying to was so silly.

 

[RomoIsGod]

Do you guys think he makes it as an all pro this season?

They knew he was a good kicker when they signed him.

 

[plymkr]

21 FGs and counting….just incredible.

I love how he strikes it. Not a lot of slice or hook, just straight. He’s going to miss one eventually, but he might be an all pro.

Kudos to the Cowboys and Fassel for seeing the pro in him

Great pick up. I remember training camp and all of us hang wringing over the kicker situation. Now we got an all star in the making.

I still have have PTSD from Maher losing his confidence in the playoffs. Maher caused anxiety and Aubry and the antidepressant.

 

[JoeKing]

I just hope a missed extra point isn't the difference in a big game down the road.
