Cowboys concerns on special teams (Part I): Brett Maher a bit shaky for team that needs a reliable leg

Special teams is often forgotten and is only brought up when it becomes a concern for a football team. After last season, the Cowboys should be moderately concerned about their special teams unit.

For the longest time, the Cowboys had one of the most reliable kicking games in the NFL. Dan Bailey was typically battling it out with Justin Tucker for the top spot at kicker. L.P. Ladouceur is still one of the best longsnappers in the league as he enters his 15th season. Chris Jones has emerged as a quality punter and even if he doesn’t get all he wants out of a punt, he’s known to dish out his own punishment.
