Welcome back to the cowboys Sean.

What if he makes the game-winning field goal against his old team? That would be sweet.

What happens to Nick? He gets cut? IR?

I hope it doesn't come down to game winning field goals, but I'll take a W.

I hope it's not that close, but if it is, then it would be pretty sweet.

And I prefer this signing over Elam. I too wonder if Folk gets cut or goes on IR. The league may get involved if he goes on IR because there has been no mention of an injury, despite his hip surgery. I can see people complaining that we are trying to hide Folk instead of releasing him.

DW bout it.

Jerry's wallet got us covered.

per Schefter, but Schefter spelled his name right

 

[Direwolf63]

The fact that Jerry watched Suisham miss 2 kicks against his own team and signed him anyway just shows how desperate we are in getting a change.

The team lost faith in Folk and he had to be held accountable.

Does McBrier now go back to holding or does Romo stay on?

per Schefter, but Schefter spelled his name right

But can he pronounce it?

 

[viman96]

The Cowboys should take this opportunity to remove Romo from holding.

True. We wouldn't want to risk Romo's hand getting kicked off by Suisham's monster leg.

 

[bbgun]

Except that McBriar admitted that he wasn't "confident" holding (unless he was lying to protect Folk). Romo probably stays in the role.

I guess Suisham is a better FG kicker than Buehler, thats ugly... Suisham been cut more than the dude on those Peyton commercials!

 

[Direwolf63]

But can he pronounce it?

:laugh1:

Not the way it's spelled on the thread title.

 

[Marktui]

it's Jose Cortez.

:laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2::laugh2:


Is Larry Allen coming back as well.

from what woody paige said on espn2 they have signed elam! (hope not)

 

[iceberg]

from what woody paige said on espn2 they have signed elam! (hope not)

maybe elam will be the holder, we keep folk and we're the 1st team in NFL history to have a grand total of 4 kickers on our team who can't kick a FG.
