I'm not talking about winning or losing a pre-season game here. I'm talking about them keeping an extra kicker, who can't do kickoffs worth a damn, based solely on past statistics - not current (or recent) performance. Once you get to the pro level, kicking is mostly a mental game. What's Vanderjagt's confidence level now, considering his performance in the playoffs last year and this year's training camp? He hasn't just done poorly in the pre-season games, he's been missing most of his kicks in practice, too.
I wouldn't care about this if it weren't for the fact the Cowboys will have to let a quality player in another position go, just so they can have two kickers.
