Cowboys poised to make punter switch from Mat McBriar to Chris Jones

All indications are that Pro Bowl punter Mat McBriar had successful surgery in January to remove a cyst from his leg that had caused drop foot last season.

However it may not be enough to save his job with the Cowboys who are prepared to go into 2012 with Chris Jones as their punter.

Jones averaged 42.6 yards per punt in tow games in place of the injured McBriar last season.

It's a shame. Mostly, McBriar's stats looked like "Ray Guy" stats...and then this year happened. The fact that he looks kinda out of shape also doesn't help him look like he's got many prime years left. I'd still like to see them bring him in to training camp.

catch - definately. he's a hell of a punter and we've been taking that for granted for many many years.
