Aubrey is truly unbelievable.

Unfortunately Jerry Jones and his act have made me jaded to a sad level.

We’ve seen Folk, Bailey, and for one season Maher all go from incredibly great to a total case of the yips out of nowhere.

How exactly does that happen to one franchise in such a small period of time? Maybe karma is real Jerry.

Justin Tucker, Butker, Jake Elliott. Pretty good kickers.
Last year, Aubrey was perfect on all (12) his +40y attempts. He's a threat to make +60 every time he goes out there.
He could end up being the best Cowboys kicker ever. If the brainiacs in the front office pay him.

To think just a year ago, our Cowboys were in a dilemma searching for a reasonable and reliable kicker. Out of nowhere, this undrafted young man, who grew up in the suburbs of Dallas, Texas (Plano), grew up watching the Cowboys and played soccer, decided to show up and give his kicking skills a try with a football. The rest is history...

Old people always love to pretend the players were better "back in my day".

Kickers and punters blow that line of thinking straight out of the water.

NFL kickers were total garbage in the '80s and '90s compared to what these kids can do nowadays.

Hopefully we don't settle for FG's and stay aggressive knowing we have a plan B.

That kick cleared the goalpost with room to spare. May have been good from 70+. My issue is that kickers are streaky. A certain other kicker the Cowboys recently let go was terrific until he missed 4 extra points in one game. I never have and never will trust kickers. Just can't do it.

So...our QBs aren;t streaky? You Trust Dak...in the most trying hard times?

Why are you holding kickers feet to the fire?

What the f!

Lol nice.

Thank Jerry. I used to be extremely enthusiastic this time every year.

Not pushing to get over the hump the last three seasons has exhausted me finally.

Dude....the footballs of today are completely different now. Much lighter....when I kicked ....those balls were probably from the 60's and had been soaked in water. It was like kicking a watermelon. Wouldn't be surprised the balls they use today...they are getting 5-7 yards more carry just because the leather is thinner....and lighter....and more air is compressed into those balls. Just saying....different times.
