<\/p>\nThe kicker has been one of the few players the Dallas faithful fully trust<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A<\/span> During his time with Dallas, Fassel helped uncover a couple of special teams superstars. He was the one who discovered kick returner\u00a0KaVontae Turpin<\/strong>\u00a0and kicker\u00a0Brandon Aubrey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Both have become two-time Pro Bowlers and are in the conversation about being the best at their respective positions, reported\u00a0Sports Illustrated<\/strong>,\u00a0si.com<\/em>.<\/p>\n Mike McCarthy\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0ability to generate top-notch assistants was a key part of the Cowboys\u2019 success in recent seasons.<\/p>\n Now, with Fassel\u2019s departure, it highlights how McCarthy\u2019s coaching staff was a great strength, and replacing these crucial pieces will be a challenge for the Cowboys going forward.<\/p>\n Aubrey, 29, has become especially important after making a good\u00a040 of 47 field goals<\/strong>. This is significant as only five kickers in\u00a0NFL<\/strong> history have made at least 40 field goals in a single season.<\/p>\n In two seasons as a professional, the Notre Dame graduate and\u00a0former Toronto FC II player in the USL<\/strong>, has a\u00a089.4% field goal percentage<\/strong>\u00a0with 76 of 85 attempts; in 2024 he connected on 40 of 47, and in 2023 he made 36 of 38 attempts.<\/p>\n His\u00a0longest field goal was the previous season from 65 yards<\/strong>, the second best in history and\u00a0one yard short of Justin Tucker\u2019s record (2021)<\/strong>, and in extra points this season he went a perfect 30 of 30, while in his rookie year he made 49 of 52 attempts.<\/p>\nThe importance of Brandon Aubrey in Cowboys<\/h2>\n
