The Bossness Of Dan Bailey

Dan Bailey is breaking records.
His 26 consecutive field goals this season is an NFL rookie record (the next best rookie mark is 14). His four game-winning kicks - defined by the NFL as kicks made with less than two minutes remaining in regulation or in overtime - are also a league rookie mark. And he tied an NFL rookie record with six field goals made in the Week 3 win against the Washington Redskins.
If Bailey makes his next attempt, he'll tie the Cowboys franchise record of 27 set by Chris Boniol in 1997. For the season, Bailey is 27-for-28 on field goals; his only miss came early in the season on a 21-yard attempt against the 49ers. His 96.4 percent field goal percentage leads all kickers in the NFL. Bailey's 108 points scored so far is tied for the league lead and tops among rookies.
With so many superlatives to his credit, his teammates are suitably impressed:
"He's great. The guy has saved our butts two weeks in a row," cornerback Terence Newman said. "The poise that he has is unbelievable."
And Jason Witten, in his inimitable manner, pays him what Witten himself probably considers to be the greatest compliment possible.
"He goes about it the right way," Witten said. "He works hard and keeps his mouth shut."
Meanwhile, Bailey himself appears like he's not letting his early NFL success get to his head.
"I just go out there and try to go one-for-one and do my best," he said. "I'm just like everybody else. I try to work hard and do well in practice. You just have to go to work every day, do your best and, hopefully, it works out for you."
The only thing missing is a suitable monicker fro Dan Bailey. What should we call Dan Bailey?

Though he kickoffs weren't great or maybe thats the other team seeing our coverage units suck so they run it out more?
I am loving this kid. But I am holding back a little, hate to see him and or Jerry, Folk it up.

We miss Buehler
The difference in hang time results in our coverage being further away from the returner when he catches the ball. He has more time to think before making his first break against a tackler. Best to limit Dan to field goals, and put David to use again next year.

Best to release Buehler
work on special teams coverage a little more, and open up a spot on the team for another position player of need.

Here’s a theoretical play from 2010: Snap. Tony takes 7 step drop. Tony looks left at Miles, who is doubled, and looks right to where Roy Williams should be…but instead sees Colombo on his back and a Defensive End foaming at the mouth jumping over Marc’s carcass. Tony proceeds to run like hell and look for Witten

If the hang time is the issue, rather than the crappiness of the kickoff coverage team, why was Buehler making so many tackles?

He wasn't.
He had one this year. It’s nice that he can tackle and get downfield. He plays on punt coverage and kick returns, when healthy, also, which utilize his athleticism. Try comparing where our coverage is when the returner gets the ball between Buehler and Bailey. It seems with Bailey the returner has an extra 5 to 10 yards of empty space.

Really???
Years long lurker, random poster… But I can honestly not help thinking everytime we give up a long kick or punt return, how nice it would be to have Buehler in there…. The dude seems to be a magnet for tackles, does he not? At least to my eyeball test, he does. He guns on punts, and (I guess only once this year-not surprising cause he played in, like what, 3 games?) demolishes on kickoffs… I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m ALL-IN on Darth Steely Dan “Split-Em” Beetle Bailey, because it’s nice to only have to close ONE eye on fgs nowadays (still waitin for the spell to break, cause I’m a Bleeding Silver and Blue Cowboys Fan and that’s what happens to us since the mid-90s), but, even if Buehler no longer kicks, the guy has special team potential… Wouldn’t switching the PURE ATHLETE like him to Safety or WR, or LB, or f***ing FULLBACK be better than having my PA boy AOA or any other bounce around scrub take up the roster space. I mean, teach the ATHLETE TO BE MORE THAN AN ATHLETE FOR CHRISSAKES!!! Stop forcing people to be what they are not, and I’m sorry, much as I know that he sucks on fgs between 20 and 40 yds, the dude is a baller! I didn’t have this opinion several weeks ago, when we needed the roster space due to injuries. But now, though we still need the roster space ( and not necessarily due to injuries as much as general depth suckitude at a couple positions), why wouldn’t we take this opportunity to keep a PLAYMAKER? YES, I SAID IT! PLAYMAKER! Just not at placekicker….. give the athlete a chance to make a freaking play! He’s a rare specimen, and that’s why the almighty (*meaning slightly insane and generally egotistical) Jerruh Jones is so high on him. How many PURE ATHLETES are on this team? And shouldn’t the coaching staff be able to find a spot for a PURE ATHLETE? Just please, don’t let him kick anymore unless there’s an injury? I mean, for real, I live in PA (Penn State Cowboy!) and I dig AOA, and all, being from down the road and what-not, but we have a bona-fide, semi bust first round pick to return our kickoffs, and a bona-fide, please-don’t-be-a-bust first round pick to return our punts. I did think it was a waste to keep two kickers on the squad, but, is it me, or did our coverage units SUDDENLY, INEXPLICABLY (yeah, right), begin to SUCK when Beuhler went on IR? Love to see some stats on that, honestly, all you intelligentsia out there… Thanks for the quality, guys, I’m gonna try to make this not a random, once in a while deal anymore :-)

So...we agree.
He can tackle. But he doesn’t tackle that often because he kicks the ball high, encouraging touchbacks or quick tackles. I said he doesn’t have many tackles because he doesn’t—his kicks preclude tackling opportunities. I’m a Buehler supporter. What can I say? I’m a fan of football players.

I can't understand why any fan wants Buehler kicking for us
It is simply a waste of a roster spot. First, started avg. field position with Buelher kicking is not better than that with Baily kicking.
And, even if it were better – say by 1 or 2 yards avg – there’s no way he’s more valuable than any other 45th man to make the active roster.
Seriously! If a kick-off specialist were such a hot commodity, other teams would have one. They don’t. They’re not.
Just say no to Buelher.
Hes not a waster because we now have 46spots
What is a waste is carrying 3 qbs. A KO specialist actually has an impact on the game everytime we score.

Other teams don't have them
Because Buehler is unique. Other teams don’t have Ware either, does that make him useless?

NOT Steely Dan
Even though I loved the group and they could play “Reelin’ In The Years” when he came on to attempt make a FG, I’m of the mind it wouldn’t be an appropriate nickname.
From the Steely Dan website FAQ:
With the core band recruited, Donald and Walter need a name for their group. Since both of them were avid readers of 1950’s “Beat” literature, they decided to name the band “Steely Dan” after a dildo in William Burroughs’ “Naked Lunch.”
Darth Bailey
I gotta go with that one. A large reason for it is that it comes with a theme song for when he walks onto the field. Might as well start playing the Darth Vader theme when he walks on for a Field Goal. If you don’t know what song I am talking about then you fail at life.

Ummm...
We’re the white hat guys. Hi-yo, Silver and all that. Down to the William Tell Overture. So get this tidbit:
Although the Lone Ranger’s last name is given as Reid, his first name is not definitely specified. According to the story told in the radio series, the group of six ambushed Rangers was headed by Reid’s brother, Captain Dan Reid. Some later radio reference books, beginning with Radio’s Golden Age in the 1960s, claimed that the Lone Ranger’s first name was John; however, both the radio and television programs avoided mentioning his first name. Fran Striker’s (writer of the radio show and possible creator of the character) obituary (1962) and a Gold Key Comics (1964) retelling of the origin both stated that “Dan” was the Lone Ranger’s first name, not his brother’s.
Do more youthful fans even recognize the significance of the William Tell Overture? Just curious.

He is as good as Money in the bank, and we can always “Bank” on him.
If the play works, never run it again. If it fails, keep running it.
First and goal at the one. Run it three times in a row, and then kick a field goal. Sound familiar?
How about we just call him the "kicker"?

But maybe we should do him a favor and not call him anything. Otherwise, if (knock on wood) he fails to kick the game winning field goal in the playoffs, people will say he is overrated, and all about stats, but a choke artist, because he only wins when it does’nt count.

I think Dan the Man will actually catch on because it’s simple and obvious, the two most important things in a nickname IMO. The others have their merits, but lets be honest, they will never catch on outside of BTB. Anthony “almost” Spencer, Tony Oh No, these have caught on because of their simplicity.
:D
if most things that happened at BTB caught on outside of this site, the world would be filled with much more intelligent Cowboys fans.

just call him Baileytieri

There could, truly, be no better title for this article.
If were on their side of the field, Im thinking bare minimum, were getting a three-piece
