"What makes me feel good is how he performed in critical situations," [Jerry] Jones said of Folk. "For years around here, we had a revolving door when it came to kickers. I decided to change that [by signing veteran Mike Vanderjagt in 2006] and got bit when we made a big commitment in one....I really like the one we have now." The one thing Folk is working on that wasn’t so great about his game last year is kickoffs.
Folk has spent the off-season working on kickoffs. The Cowboys ranked in the middle of the pack last season, with opponents averaging 23.01 yards per kickoff return. (The NFL average was 22.69.) On 93 kickoffs, Folk reached the end zone only 16 times and had four touchbacks.

Hooray! A little love for the kicker. Cowboys have a good one and I look for this guy to get better as time goes on.
