Good. Go think about what you did wrong boys.

Are you guys seeing the live blogging on Justin.tv

These guys are hilarious!

Shows how valuable Canty is

The D-line was getting pushed around pretty good out there, which is pathetic considering there offensive line weighs like 220 pounds each.

by Brandon Worley on Aug 16, 2008 8:18 PM CDT reply actions  

Prediction

Jerry will think about firing Wade during training camp. The “Wade” coaches…Read and Stewart…are the ones whose units look the worst.

they're not game planning

Why some of you get so bent out of shape about the second preseason is beyond me.

Are you guys crazy its pre-season

Go Colombo? knock those suckers around! You want to see your o-lineman doing stuff like that.

by quincyyyyy on Aug 16, 2008 8:25 PM CDT reply actions  

Amen

As long as it doesn’t carry over, I’ll give Columbo the benefit of the doubt that he felt a need to do it.

Not looking sharp on either side of the ball

by Philosopher on Aug 16, 2008 8:33 PM CDT reply actions  

we haven't touched on penalties the last few weeks

another area of suckiness from last year

That #38 sure can hit!

by Aaron Novinger on Aug 16, 2008 8:33 PM CDT reply actions  

looks like the same slow starts as last season

that’s why we can’t get carried away because Romo and the starters won’t get to finish this one

by Billito on Aug 16, 2008 8:33 PM CDT reply actions  

well there was some good plays there

but the penalties were tough, and they weren’t quite the well-oiled machine from last week.

now let’s see some D!

i agree

not always going to come out hot..

we could win

this one 31-7 and everyone would forget about the slow start

As crazy as this sounds

I hope the boys are not as dominant in the regular season as last year so they get to the playoffs with some hunger

what are their problems with the name "cricket" I like it

back in ancient Rome the Gladiators would call themselves very unassuming names like “The Rose”. Cricket is just fine by me.

by quincyyyyy on Aug 16, 2008 8:38 PM CDT reply actions  

i like it

not very descriptive but if you know the story behind it makes him sound like he could do just about anything…

ugh

not very exciting first quarter. preseason blah. that’s probably it for Romo too.

by scottmaui on Aug 16, 2008 8:42 PM CDT reply actions  

Roy still doesn't wrap up!!

Seriously Roy, when is going to about making the tackle and not the hit?

by Doomsday on Aug 16, 2008 8:42 PM CDT reply actions  

being in the right place is good

but it doesn’t help much if you don’t wrap him up and make the tackle

by scottmaui on Aug 16, 2008 8:43 PM CDT up reply actions  

Never

he will never learn to wrap up

That #38 sure can hit!

by Aaron Novinger on Aug 16, 2008 8:44 PM CDT up reply actions  

he better

there will be no brandon marshall for the 1st couple of games

we look soft

We look like the Junior Varsity

We have little intensity

Seriously….this is a mediocre team, and their first unit is kicking our ass.

Remember…we haven’t really played well since the Green Bay game last year. We could be a 7-9 team.

Bright spots

TO and Tony’s timing is getting work
Stanback

It's all that pre-season Crowning

Where’s Denny Green when you need him?

2-2 would be good

I’ll take 1-3

That #38 sure can hit!

by Aaron Novinger on Aug 16, 2008 8:48 PM CDT reply actions  

remember that series in the first half of the divisional playoff game?

it was because they gave up that penalty and lost their focus on the field

by Zak on Aug 16, 2008 8:49 PM CDT reply actions  

same thing happened in that 90 yard drive

You know...its frustrating, yes....

But I just cant buy into the negativity surrounding preseason games.

I would definitely like to see some intensity, though……but I just can’t start worrying too much.
