If you're worried the Cowboys are going to stick with kicker David Buehler even if he struggles in the preseason, don't. The Cowboys will move quickly to replace him if he has problems. John Carney and Matt Stover are two possible veteran replacements. But the team has plenty of confidence in Buehler's ability to make field-goal attempts.
K David Buehler said he is making progress in his transition from kickoff specialist to full time kicker. He says the lessons with kicking coach Chris Boniol are going well and he is hopeful that he will be ready to handle all the kicking chores next season for the Cowboys.
"We changed some stuff up fundamentally," Buehler said. "Just getting comfortable and not having to think about it, where it was second nature, that was the thing at the beginning. Now I'm used to what he's been teaching me and I've been doing it routinely, it's good."
In other news, coach Wade Phillips said he would prefer that QB Tony Romo not have to hold on field goals and extra points.
There's nothing like fantasy kicker talk in May! But in reality, if Buehler wins the job he's going to have some value at the ever-important position in your lineup. He should have a lot of opportunities to put up top-10 kicker points behind a pretty solid Dallas offense, so keep the name in mind.
The kicking competition barely got off the ground before it became clear there will be no change this weekend.
Nick Folk's struggles have opened the door for rookie David Buehler to challenge for the job. But after Tuesday's practice – when Folk was 2-of-4 and Buehler was 1-of-4, all from 30 to 35 yards into a cold, brisk wind – coach Wade Phillips said Buehler is "a ways away" and presumes Folk will kick against New Orleans.
"The guy has been a good one and is young," Phillips said of Folk. "That makes me think he can come back if he's mentally strong enough. I've talked to him, and he seems to be that way.
