Kicker/Punter

Kicker
Dan Bailey is an unbelievable young talented kicker. He was perfect with in 50 yards, and was 3/4 on game winning kicks. Not to mention that one kick being over 50 yards and with wind against him. Going perfect inside 40 yards is about what every kicker in the NFL should be able to do, not many can stay perfect inside of 50 yards. Dan Bailey is amazing and should certainly be getting a contract extension from the Cowboys soon. Bailey has one year left on his contract and I am certain that the Cowboys do not want to let this one get away. The Cowboys will be able to have a kicker they can trust for many years to come with Bailey, getting him a big contract is not a question at all. The Cowboys were a bit lost for a few years in the kicker spot, but have found one of the best kickers in the entire league.


Punter
The punter situation is a bit trickier but I think the Cowboys have found a great punter. Chris Jones, has been with the Cowboys for a bit but has not punted much for the Cowboys, but he  played fairly well, in the 4 games we saw him. The Cowboys injury bug also hit the punters pretty hard this year as well. Chris Jones got hurt and Brian Moorman was also injured for a bit. Moorman can not be a long term solution since he is 36, Chris Jones needs to make sure he can avoid injury so he can become reliable for the Cowboys. If Jones stays healthy he could among the top punters in the NFL, Jones had a totally of 12 punts all season, half of them were inside of 20, and he had an average of 45.2 yards a punt.

These Cowboys have a great grip right now in this year, they have two very young players with very bright futures and can be relied on.
