YES!!!!

that is awesome! Vandy was definitely going to kill us in the playoffs if the game was tight. Grammatica isn't the best, but he sure as hell is more reliable than that head case who can barely make an extra point.

Good job, Tuna!

Yea

I agree that Vandy going is probably a good thing. You just can't count on him when it matters.

I hope Grammatica can get back to old form pretty quickly. At one time, he was a pretty reliable kicker.

From NFL.com

...the Cowboys waived former Colts kicker Vanderjagt and signed former Colts kicker Martin Gramatica, who spent three games with Indianapolis earlier this season.

The move turned out to be a costly experiment for the Cowboys. They gave Vanderjagt a $2.5 million signing bonus this offseason, but he struggled on field goals, kickoffs and was a constant source of consternation for Cowboys coach Bill Parcells. The Cowboys began making calls on other kickers at least two weeks ago, inquiring into the availability of such players as former Dallas kicker Billy Cundiff. But the team opted to go with Gramatica, who has connected on 138 of 180 field goals during his NFL career.
