Cowboys kicking situation

[chumdawg]

Will Vandy take the first kickoff against the Bucs?

[kg_veteran]

That's a very valid question. He missed two very makeable kicks that could have cost the Cowboys the game.

How long of a leash does he have?

My bet is that he's out there next week, but one more performance like that will have him riding the pine (and out of town next year).

Suisham can hit them into the end zone, and can miss them at least as well as Vanderjagt. Why not?

How about that grammitca dude?

He definitely affected how Parcells coached the game. There’s no way you go five wide on 3rd and 7 if you trust your kicker. Fortunately, Romo is money.

That being said, I don’t think you can do anything this year. As bas as Vandy’s looked at times, I still feel better with him out there than I do Suisham. It might be different if Morton Anderson was still out there but as it stands, I stay with what we have and keep my fingers crossed.

Is Rafeal still in jail for child molestation? He would have been better choice today..

I take Suisham. He can miss two FG's as well as Vandy can, but he can give you better kickoffs.

I think Parcells does the same thing in the third and 7 situation regardless of who the kicker is assuming the game is still the same score.

With that being said, Vanderyacht sucked ass today. Another game like that here in the next couple of weeks and he might have to pack a suitcase and get on out of town.

I can't defend a guy that misses two very makable field goals today, but I will say that prior to today he has been very good overall. His percentage has been better than we have had around here for a long time. Maybe the whole "Indy Factor" played a role in his brain farts, but I doubt it. He has been right all year and both were very close. Damn, just keep him on the left mark for every kick from here on out!

If anybody is listening to the ticket, people are ripping jackoff on every call.

I always liked Cundiff.... and I have his rookie season autograph!

I had no idea that they knew who you were. Interesting.

Let's not make Suishman out to be Jason Elam. Remember, he was cut after a day of poor kickoffs against Washington.

I'd rather have Vinateiri but if the choice it Vanderjagt or Suishman, give me the the guy that's done it.

[FINtastic]

I hate G-KOAT as much as the next guy, but I would much rather rely on the headcase than some shaky unproven guy.

[alexamenos]

man, vander-off is choking....he's like a golfer with the shanks......

I doubt the 'boys could do better....not now, anyhow....

enjoy the ride, I suppose.

[mkat]

suisham is playing for another team right now, if i recall correctly.

[chumdawg]

Nope, he's still looking for a job.

If Vandyshank has another bad game, my money is on Cundiff. He was pretty damn good here, on occasion. And he remains the kicker who has missed the fewest kicks over the course of an NFL season under Parcells.

If a change happens, he's the guy.
