All hate aside, I doubt that was the reason he was drafted. More like a cheesy talking point after the fact. I’m sure he was brought up. Maybe the scouts took a closer look because of it. Who knows? But if just the locker/knowing him was the reason, I’m sure he’s known other players, too. Why didn’t we draft them?

Turns out he is pretty good.

Bad example, as he was turning into the star of the D before his injury.

His closing speed is somehow faster than Micah's and his awareness is the best we've had at LB since Leegro.

Maybe there is some hope with the Jones grandkids.

Maybe the one grandkid is a good scout?
 


What is this free kick bullshit?
 
Rev said:
It's been around for as long as I can remember but I forget the exact rules that allow you to do this. I know it involves a fair catch and you get a free kick at that spot.

I must be losing my mind. I don't remember that at all.
 


I guess I'm just a damn idiot.
 
I remember Landry did that once in I think one of his last years. I'd heard about that rule but never actually saw one until then. It's just rare for the situation to be right for it to ever come up.

It doesn't happen very much at all. I remember the Cowboys did it once in a preseason game in the past and that's really the only reason that I know about it.

The rule states that a team may attempt a kick on an untimed down after fair catching a punt. It is similar to a kickoff in that it cannot be blocked by the opposition, but unlike a kickoff, a tee may not be used which increases the difficulty. If successful, it is worth 3 points like a field goal. If unsuccessful, the other team takes over from the spot of the kick.

Pretty rare when the stars align for this. Mainly because of that last line.

Yeah, if you try it from say your own 40 and miss. I guess the other team gets a chance to kick from that same spot? Didn't know that.

If I remember correctly, the last one I saw involving the Landry Cowboys was the 1986 preseason game vs Houston. Septien missed it with no time left and they lost.
 
Anyone see the NFL Films Presents story about Erik Kramer, “The Ultimate Comeback”? Wow that guy was in a dark place and went through some shit. Never cared for the guy because he came off as aloof, but his dad fucked him up. Not Michael Jackson level but bad enough.
