Hey this may be a good thing for the Cowboys if Buehler continues to suck on field goals because now you don't need as much power and can now look for a kicker with accuracy...I wonder if JJ had anything to do with planting that seed!

That also depends on whether there's a season this year... Could you provide a link?? :smoke

Why bother with a kick-off? Let's just start with the ball on the 20, 1st and 10. That's what will happen 95% of the time anyway. This action makes no sense to me.

It's arguably the most exciting play in football if the kickoff is run back, not touched down in the end zone. If you just started at the 20 every time there would be no possibility of an onsides kick.
