We were spoiled. We can admit it. For so long the Dallas Cowboys had the luxury of an elite kicker in Dan Bailey who made extra points and field goals so routine that they became boring and an opportunity for us to duck out while watching to go to the restroom or get a snack. It has now been over three years since the team released him and it has been a rocky ride at kicker ever since.
Part of the reason that things were so turbulent early on post Bailey for the Cowboys was that they relied on a then 28-year-old rookie in Brett Maher.
