Cowboys cut Cortez

[Guest Moose Knuckle Ball Four]

IRVING – Place kicker Jose Cortez said he was released by the Dallas Cowboys this afternoon.

The move comes one day after Cortez was 1-for-2 on field goals in the Cowboys’ 13-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

 

Cortez missed a 29-yard field goal late in the loss that would have given the Cowboys a two-score lead. He was 12-of-16 on field goals this season, but has made only four of his last seven.

 

When asked if he was surprised, Cortez said, “I’m surprised they called me in, but it’s a business.”

Well, everyone was calling him a hero last week but it was his fault we were in the position to need a game winning kick anyway.

 

Who the hell is the kicker now? I think I could even make a 29 yarder field goal.

Damn, I liked him kicking the FGs for Dallas. Now who are they bringing in? Tough time to be a kicker in the NFC East.

probably better for team morale as he was bullying and intimidating all the Cowboys' offensive linemen

IRVING, Texas - The Cowboys are moving on from kicker Jose Cortez.

 

Less than 24 hours after missing yet another key kick, this one possibly affecting the outcome of the team's 13-10 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday, the Cowboys officially waived Cortez from the 53-man roster.

 

The team has signed Shaun Suisham, a rookie from Bowling Green, who has spent some time on the Cowboys' practice squad this season.

 

Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells said Monday afternoon that Cortez had just become too inconsistent.

 

"There were just too many problems," Parcells said. "Too many erratic things."

 

Cortez made 12-of-16 kicks, including only 3-of-6 from the 40-49 yards.

 

And his release comes only a week after Cortez kicked a game-winning field goal against the Giants in overtime, giving the Cowboys a 16-13 win.

 

But Sunday in Seattle, with the Cowboys leading 7-3 early in the fourth quarter, Cortez missed a 29-yard field goal attempt wide left. While he eventually made another 21-yard attempt later in the fourth, the Cowboys still only led by seven points, a lead that vanished with a quick Seahawks touchdown.

 

"That was a big miss," said Parcells, who discounted the fact the snap was a little high and to the outside of holder Tony Romo. "The ball was down. He just missed it."

I just picked up that ba$tard last night to fill in for my bye week. Who else is likely to be a FF that is playing a crappy team?

Dallas... you deserved it for thinking something the 9ers cut could have had any talent. Hell, our STARTERS don't have any talent.
