I can't believe we are going into the season with such a shaky kicking situation. I am not sure I trust those guys.
We will have to wait and see how they kick in Dallas. Very difficult to kick in the winds of Oxnard.

Feels exactly like last year.

Hopefully we find a solution, but it is crazy to think about how vulnerable we are for the 2nd year in a row in the kicking dept.

Almost a year ago that Dallas worked out kickers and signed Maher. I would expect some similar activity in the not too distant future.

Sometimes there just aren't enough good ones to go around. Even if you draft one there's no guarantee they're gonna be up to snuff. So you dig up what you can find.

Bro, it's just as windy outside on the practice field at The Star in Frisco, TX. My ex-mother-in-law's sister lives in Oxnard. I went to the first few Cowboys training camps in Oxnard, CA (2001 & 2004) at the very same River Ridge Playing Fields, and the winds in Oxnard weren't any stronger than the constant winds we have throughout Texas.

The Cowboys have had a shaky kicker situation ever since Dan Bailey lost his mojo. We’re looking for at least our fourth kicker since he left.

They did fine last year. They ended up with a good kicking game during the season.

Every kicker that’s available is available because of consistency issues. They’re all streaky. Brett Maher was money for most of last season, until we were approaching the playoffs and he couldn’t make a PAT. The Cowboys were considering changing kickers heading into the playoffs.

It seems like most drafted kickers don't work out.

Maher had a good season last year. He helped them win some games.

Vulnerable?? How lmao Brett Maher was a top three kicker in the league last year,, kicked it 90%. his only misses were over 55 yards he was a top kicker and people wanted him gone just because he had one truly shaky game with point after attempts..

I'm sorry but the man should have been brought back at least kicked through training camp and preseason and then if he still looked shaky then you let the guy go..

in my opinion, we were nowhere near shaky, we had one of the best kicking games in the entire NFL last year.. Brett money Maher that did not get made-up the man was money all last year didn't cost us a single game. He also kicked off very well..

This is how fans act in here first they were so up in arms over Brett they wanted him gone and now they feel like everything is shaky..

they probably hoping they had him back just like everybody who wants to make a change at quarterback if you think make changes at kicker and running back are crazy, you try trying to find another quarterback that's the top ten and that could do what Prescott has done since he's been here.

Fans will always find the grass is not always greener on the other side they always seem to want to make a change until the change is made and it's worse. :welcome:

He was real good for most of the season until he ran into PAT problems when the playoffs were approaching. That’s why he’s no longer here and we’re looking for another kicker.
