Well our first team O and D

were very impressive. A lot of rookie mistakes but that is expected for the first preseason game. I sure hope we pick up a backup QB because Johnson just sucks. He has some zip on short passes but no arm at all. Waiver wire here we come!

you think he'd be better?

and the last one could have been at least partly the fault of the receiver (not sure who that was that the “miscommunication” was with)

but a terrible call. That was NOT PI.

both PIs were marginal, and that is the big difference in the game

it was actually in coleman’s area and he had to run over for it

by scottmaui on Aug 9, 2008 10:16 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

But Stanback beat his guy on a pass route

a short time ago. Of course Johnson couldn’t reach him.

So Why Is Bruce Read Still Our Special Teams Coach?

Team loaded with talent, can’t stop anybody on a return. Return game looks pathetic.

the receivers need to get open

they weren’t doing that much in the second quarter, or when they did, they dropped the ball

by Deke on Aug 9, 2008 10:40 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yep

going back and watching volek, he just threw it up there a few times and let his receivers do somethings, BJ should have done the same…can’t see what these WRs got if they don’t get the chance at least.

Jerry

watching on Channelsurfing.net he’s making some good points

- First want to get look at 1st team, and they looked good
- Rest of game is about getting look at guys you haven’t seen play before
- Coleman and Scandrick chance; Felix Jones and Adam Jones are returners, “you won’t see them tonight”
- Impressed with Felix Jones and Mike Jenkins

Jamie Dukes loves us, but....

I’m thinking Jacques Reeves’ coverage at the end of the first half, Crayton’s drop, and T.O. playing on 1 leg had more to do with the loss than Romo
