With a roster built for the Super Bowl http://www.cowboysauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jeff-heath-jersey , the Minnesota Vikings were in no position to practice patience with a struggling kicker. goal attempts in the tie game at Green Bay, the Vikings waived the rookie on Monday and punted on the fifth-round draft pick they used on him five months ago.Two of Carlson's misses came in overtime on Sunday, forcing the Vikings to settle for a 29-29 draw with the rival Packers. When asked by a reporter how the decision was reached, coach Mike Zimmer said, "Did you see the game?"Carlson missed from 48 yards in the second quarter and 49 yards in the extra period, before his 35-yard try on the game's final play also went wide right."Yeah, it was pretty easy," Zimmer said.The Vikings didn't immediately add a replacement for Carlson, but Zimmer confirmed that free agent Dan Bailey was making his way to Minnesota for a physical exam. That made it all but certain the Vikings will sign Bailey, the second-most accurate field goal kicker in NFL history. The 30-year-old was released by the Dallas Cowboys right before the regular season began in a cost-saving move following his injury-influenced regression in 2017.Bailey hurt his groin in the sixth game of the season at San Francisco and missed the next four weeks. Upon his return, he missed five of 13 field goal attempts and also had the first two failed extra points of his seven-year NFL career. With a field goal rate greater than 88 percent, Bailey is behind only Baltimore's Justin Tucker for the best percentage in league history.Carlson was awarded the job when the Vikings let Kai Forbath go on Aug. 20, and Carlson pulled two field-goal tries wide left in an exhibition game four days later. In the season opener against the 49ers on Sept. 9 Tyrone Crawford Jersey , Carlson converted his only field goal attempt, from 48 yards, plus three extra points.Then came the debacle at Lambeau Field , after which Carlson acknowledged he'd lost some faith in his ability upon lining up for his last try."It's disappointing for me personally. The team fought so hard. We expect to win that, and I expect to make those kicks to win the game for the team," Carlson said. "That last one was probably more just confidence after missing twice early. That is frustrating. That shorter one I should never miss like that."Since Zimmer took the job in 2014, the Vikings have had plenty of these problems. Blair Walsh never fully recovered from his 27-yard miss in the subzero cold of the playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks after the 2015 season.Walsh was let go midway through the 2016 season in favor of Forbath, whose biggest trouble was extra points. Forbath performed relatively well in 2017 as the Vikings advanced to the NFC championship game, but general manager Rick Spielman sought an upgrade with Carlson, who left Auburn as the all-time leading scorer in Southeastern Conference history.Carlson sent 9 of 10 kickoffs for touchbacks, and the other one was a squib returned for 8 yards to Green Bay's 31. But all the leg strength in the world won't make up for any setbacks on the mental side of this pressure-packed job."That's life. I don't know. It's hard to figure out," Zimmer said. "You think you've got a guy for a while, and then he goes out and misses three in a big game. But things happen I guess."The Vikings traded two sixth-round picks to the New York Jets for the opportunity to move up in the fifth round for Carlson."That's water off a duck's back Authentic Jaylon Smith Jersey ," Zimmer said. "We'll get some more sixth-rounders next year. I'm not worried about that."The Vikings signed wide receiver Aldrick Robinson, a seventh-year veteran who was most recently with San Francisco and played with quarterback Kirk Cousins in Washington in 2012 and 2013."He really liked him. He's a fast guy," Zimmer said.Dallas Cowboys vs. Houston Texans: Five bold predictions Any time that the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans play it’s fun, but it’s not a rivalry.Rivalries are about more than it being two elite teams, which the Houston Texans have never been and the Cowboys have struggled to be for some time. Rivalries are about two teams that have exchanged serious blows. They’re pairs that have seen both side head home with their tail tucked, and that just doesn’t exist here. Houston has only won one regular season matchup against the Cowboys, but to be fair it was the game to win as it was the inaugural one way back in 2002. Dallas has won the last three, including the last one in H-Town, and we’re all hoping that they can make it four in a row.What will happen en route to a hopeful victory? That’s what we’re here to discuss, fam. Let’s do a little dance, have a little fun, and basically get down tonight. Time for BTB’s bold predictions.Tavon Austin will have over 100 yards from scrimmageLook. The Dallas Cowboys are going to force-feed Ezekiel Elliott. You know it. I know it. Anybody who’s somebody knows it. If they want to win, last I checked they do Youth Ezekiel Elliott Jersey , the Dallas Cowboys are going to have to find somebody else to help move the chains and get things going offensively. We’ve seen so far on this young season that somebody with the ability to do that is all-speed man Tavon Austin.It’s a given that Tavon will get at least one jet sweep in the game which will be good for 10-12 yards, hopefully he’ll pick up a big gain through the air at one point, the point is we’re going to add that up and it’s going to be over 100. Deal? Deal.Dallas will have a drive that lasts at least 10 minutesLast week against the Detroit Lions the Cowboys saw their penultimate possession of the game last over eight and a half minutes. That’s absolutely ridiculous.This is an unreal amount of time to possess the ball at any point in the game, but the Cowboys did it in the game’s fourth quarter. Granted Dallas had to ultimately settle for a field goal and that move could have been costly if not for a heroic last-second drive by Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, but the fact remains that they got back to somewhat vintage form with a long possession like that.There’s no denying that this is the recipe to success for the Cowboys. They need to run the ball, run out the clock, and then go play defense with their solid group behind them. Get ready to sit down when the Cowboys are on offense and stay there as they’re going to hit double-digit minutes.Taco Charlton will lead the game in sacksDeMarcus Lawrence is currently the NFL leader in sacks, but unfortunately the Houston Texans are likely aware of this fact (fingers crossed, though).Tim Heitman-USA TODAY SportsThe Texans offensive line is quite bad, in fact it could be the worst assembly across the entire National Football League. That idea coupled with extra attention paid to Tank could amount to a big day in the sack department for Taco Charlton.It really should be noted how well Taco is playing into the second quarter of his second season in Dallas. You’d be hard pressed to find a first-round draft selection who was less popular with Cowboys fans than Charlton, and he’s really rounding into form quite nicely. Considering the Cowboys offensive line is going to give their all in stopping J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney, it’s possible for Taco to be the sack king of this contest.Let’s hope Taco rounds all the way into Houston, soft and crunchy style.There will be a fake of some kindLast time the Cowboys were on the road for Sunday Night Football the world saw Chris Jones run a fake punt. The crazy thing is this wasn’t even the first time that Jones caught everyone off guard with a fake http://www.cowboysauthorizedshops.com/authentic-cole-beasley-jersey , and it wasn’t even the first time that he did it to NBC’s Sunday Night Football!I’m not saying the fake involved in Houston is going to be a punt, I’m only saying Chris Jones is somewhat known for this in this time slot. Either way there are fakes happening all over the place this season in the NFL, it’s time to see one and hopefully have it go our way.The Cowboys defense will get their first interception of the seasonOne of the more unfortunate facts this season is that the Dallas Cowboys are the only team in the NFL to not have an interception while on defense. Womp womp.Not shockingly, this puts the Cowboys last in turnovers. You never want to be here, but this is where we find ourselves and it’s time to start shaking things up. Houston’s Deshaun Watson is a talented quarterback who is going to make this game very difficult for the Cowboys; however, he is also known to turn the ball over a bit. This is the perfect way to cure this little cold we’ve caught (the only thing we’ve caught, apparently).I’ll even take it a step further and describe the interception-to-be. Deshaun Watson is going to scramble, get pressured by the Hot Boyz, the ball will be tipped, and that glorious piece of pigskin will land in the waiting arms of Leighton Vander Esch.Let’s party.
