Kicking
Yes, it’s only one game, but newly acquired kicker Kai Forbath has made every kick … except for the first kickoff of the game that went out-of-bounds. Regardless, he made his kicks including a 50-yard try.
He was 3-3 for field goals and 5-5 on extra-point attempts. That’s 14 points that Forbath was able to give the Cowboys. Former kicker Brett Maher would have likely missed one or two attempts.
Some people will look at this and say, “so what?” To them, I say I’m tired of leaving points off the board. There have been way too many missed kicks.
What Took so Long?
This win against the Rams has brought up some questions around the coaching staff. We just saw how good the Cowboys could play, even against a good team. Why did it take so long for them to play like this?
Head coach Jason Garrett should be getting criticized even more because of this win. Videos are showing his great speech that got the entire team pumped up.
Now, what is he going to say this Sunday when Dallas plays the Philadelphia Eagles? He better have some stories ready for Sunday. After that, he better have some if Dallas makes the playoffs.
Whatever it was that made this team click, needs to continue. If not then the Cowboys are going to have a problem this season, but a change next season.
