Mailbag: Bailey An Advantage For New PATs?; Adding Another RB?
BRET SKELLENGER
FONTANELLE, IA
Given the Cowboys have one of the best kickers in the game in Dan Bailey, don't you think that the move to the 33-yard PAT is going to be beneficial for the team? After all, one missed PAT could be a huge difference in a game.
Bryan: There is no question that having a kicker with Dan Bailey’s talent on the squad will always be beneficial but if you look league wide – the number of kicks that are made inside 33-yards is nearly automatic. If they wanted to do something with the PAT, the rules committee should have considered moving the uprights in instead of moving the kickers back. Then you would have seen some interesting attempts.
