Would you pick up Matt Bryant for short yardage?

[aikemirv]

This year, not really better than Maher when you consider the extra point missed but 20-21 last year. The year before he was 77% from 30-39 yards as well.

Maher makes me nervous and it removes some depth to have 2 kickers.

 

[superonyx]

Yes. I probably would bring him in for a look.

I could be wrong but I feel like Bryant makes me less nervous with the game on the line than Maher.

 

[AbeBeta]

I would swear Bryant's agent is on this board. Dude didn't have a job and then he found a job and he was miserable.

 

[Whyjerry]

2 kickers??? Why?

How about Bryant for everything? Maher is at 71% this year. That puts him near the bottom. He was near the bottom last year too. He sucks and will cost them another big game this season.

You do not suit up 2 FG kickers....that's just not gonna happen with limited personnel.

 

[ehwqkbmg]

Honestly as weird as it is having two kickers taking roster spots, it might be worth it. Maher over 50 yards and Bryant under 50 yards.

We have done it before.

 

[charron]

We have done it before.

when?

when?

Beuhler

There have probably been other times too, carrying a KOS

 

[acr731]

Since Garrett routinely plays to get field goals, he should move to make sure every drive stalls at a point where Maher has kicks of 60 yards or more. Dude is darn near perfect from that distance.

Kinda correct. Beuhler was only doing kickoffs when Bailey was kicking FG's.

Nugent and Bryant are now available. I am just not sure those guys are upgrades. Earlier in their career yes, but now, not so sure.

Who do you dump

Yeah me neither. I can't watch Maher but the first time Bryant missed you would be second guessing the decision.

The Cowboys are 6th in the NFL in scoring, and ties with 5 teams for 13th in FG attempts. Obviously they aren't playing to get FGs.

 

[Creeper]

If you need 2 kickers then you don't have any kickers.

Don't interfere with my Garrett bashing....

 

[Jake]

Called this thread the minute Bryant's release came up.

Over-the-hill familiar name gets cut after making 64% of his kicks - "let's bring him in for a look!"

 

[HungryLion]

Kinda correct. Beuhler was only doing kickoffs when Bailey was kicking FG's.

I’m pretty sure it was before the rule changes too. When the large majority of kickoffs didn’t result in a touchback.
