Parcells upped the ante for Mike Vanderjagt

NFL Rumors & Notes by Ben Maller 08/04/06

Bill Parcells upped the ante for Mike Vanderjagt during the offseason when he said the Cowboys, with better kicking, could have had three more victories last season than the nine they managed. No one has been bashful about telling Vanderjagt what he's supposed to accomplish. "Oh, I've heard the three-game thing a lot, certainly," he said. "I've got three games placed on my shoulders this year I'm supposed to turn around. . . . Bill told me. Jerry told me. Everybody in the stands has told me. . . . I'm aware of the situation. I was aware of it when I got here. I felt like I could make a difference."
