Special teams changes could help the Cowboys start the season faster than last year

The official quest for a sixth Lombardi starts once again with a familiar opponent in week one, but this time, Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be playing in the Cowboys dojo, AT&T Stadium. This time last year, Dallas played the defending champs very close and nearly defeated them if it weren’t for some miscues on special teams by then starting kicker Greg Zuerlein. Since then, the Cowboys and Zuerlein have gone their separate ways, and even with that departure, Dallas has yet to have really figured out the kicking situation. Although the team did bring back a familiar face in a player whose career has had plenty of mixed results in the NFL.
