    Vanderjagt not expected to kick in Cowboys' opener

    IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Mike Vanderjagt probably won't kick in the regular season opener for the Dallas Cowboys, though coach Bill Parcells reserves the right to change his mind.

    Parcells said Friday that Shaun Suisham would likely kick Sunday against Jacksonville instead of Vanderjagt. The NFL's most accurate field goal kicker has been hampered by a groin injury throughout training camp.

    "I'm not 100 percent sure right now, but I think I'm going to kick Suisham," Parcells said. "I can change my mind, but I think that's what I'm going to do."

    Vanderjagt wasn't on the field or in the locker room when they were open to reporters. Parcells said Vanderjagt practiced and has been kicking all week.

    "I've just seen (Suisham) do a little bit more right now, and I'm not sure about Mike physically ... based on what he said after the game last week," Parcells said.

    Vanderjagt, who has made 87.5 percent of his field goal attempts in eight NFL seasons, said he wasn't 100 percent after missing kicks of 32 and 33 yards in overtime of the preseason finale last week.

    Uncertainty about Vanderjagt led Parcells to keep Suisham on the 53-man roster. The second-year kicker, who made 3-of-4 field goals in his three games for Dallas last season, was kept as a kickoff specialist and in case Vanderjagt couldn't kick.

    Parcells said he wouldn't dress two kickers Sunday. He said he wasn't even sure both kickers would travel to Jacksonville.

    "As far as I know, I'm kicking. Based on what I've been told," Suisham said. "It's a great opportunity. It's also an opportunity that I didn't necessarily think I was going to have."

    What the hell is going on in Dallas now? Owen's name is not mentioned in the article, but you gotta believe Cancer Boy is behind this somehow!



    "I'm not 100 percent sure right now, but I think I'm going to kick Suisham," Parcells said. "I can change my mind, but I think that's what I'm going to do."

    What, other than Owens, could have Parcells so pissed off that he can't think straight. With Vanderjadt out, you'd think the last thing he would do is assualt the backup guy. And Bill, just a little common sense advice! If you plan to assault somebody, don't go telling reporters. Now, Suisham will probably try to hide from you. And if you do manage to kick him, everybody will know it was premeditated.



    And how lame is this, I ask you!?"


    'Parcells said he wouldn't dress two kickers Sunday.'


    Bill! Bill! Bill! These are grown men we're talkin about here, OK! You shouldn't have to dress even one! They should be able to dress themselves. And if they can't, let Jerry or Bledsoe do it. You'll be plenty busy with other stuff.
