Gramatica signed with the Cowboys as an unrestricted free agent on March 23, replacing Mike Vanderjagt. Gramatica is beginning his eighth NFL season.

Good

I think he is a good fit for our team and was far more dependable than Vanderdoink. Odd that Vandershank hasn't signed anywhere... oh yeah, he sucks, so nevermind.

Vandersucks, aka - the idiot kicker...

I like the move too

He really impressed me kicking that well after being injured and not kicking for that long...

of Martin was his attempt to push Babineaux pursuing Romo on the botched hold in Seattle. Had Martin been more than 100 pounds soaking wet he likely would have succeeded and the Cowboys likely would have played in Chicago if not Miami. The main thing is Martin had the presence of mind to avoid Romo, push Babineaux and understnd what was happening. He might have been the only one (besides Babineaux) among millions of viewers, coaches and players.

Lets all hope Martin goes on to break Vanderjackright's NFL accuracy records and while here in Dallas.
