Could Cowboys Kicker Brandon ‘Butter’ Aubrey Set NFL Record with 70-Yard FG?

Kicker Brandon “Butter” Aubrey of the Dallas Cowboys maintained his amazing rookie campaign against the Philadelphia

Eagles, making two of his four field goals attempts from 59 and 60 yards. In what is becoming a very interesting tale for Dallas

Cowboys Nation was anxious about the kicker situation during the preseason, but with 30 straight field goals made,

There isn’t any such anxiety.

Being a former MLS star who just recently picked up placekicking, the transition to becoming an NFL weapon could’ve been tricky.

“It’s all very fluid and natural from a physical standpoint,” Cowboys special teams coordinator John Fassel said. “I think that’s

pretty unique thing about his swing. “And then from a mental standpoint, he’s the same guy almost every day … I haven’t ever

felt him stressful in a big moment, or overwhelmed by how we’re doing. I think he’s got a lot of great attributes to be potentially

a great kicker.” While Aubrey had time to practice his new craft in the USFL, moving into the NFL with the Cowboys no doubt meant that he might have to work on the finer details regarding his technique.

But Fassel reveals that he hasn’t tinkered with Aubrey’s mechanics. Instead, has just let him do his thing.

“I’m very aware not to mess with he’s approaching a swing and I don’t think you’ll ever hear me or see me go down that road,”

Fassel said. “Let’s not mess with the good thing we got going.” After Aubrey nailed his long-distance field goals on Sunday night

(a double-doing that is unprecedented in NFL history) it took his season total from 50+ yards to 8 for 8. Aubrey stated post-

game that a 67- or 68-yard attempt would be “comfortable” for him. … and that he could make kicks from 70.

Would Fassel be anxious if head coach Mike McCarthy sent Aubrey out to try a field goal for that long?

Fassel remarked, “I wouldn’t be nervous at all.” “But, I would say that 70 is in his range. At that point, I’m sure he thought, ‘Well hell, I’m just going to swing as hard as I can to see what happens.'”

It’s true what we want to see, too: He should play with more launch codes in order to break Justin Tucker’s record of 66 yards for a field goal.

Apart from that, though? Without a doubt, Aubrey is off to the greatest possible start in his rookie season, but there’s also no

doubt that he’s got dynamite in his right foot.
