just one

and one fumble on punt return

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!

put in Bartel

someone else

by Longhorn on Aug 9, 2008 9:57 PM CDT reply actions  

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)

by scottmaui on Aug 9, 2008 9:58 PM CDT up reply actions  

i just would like to see something new

we know what Brad Johnson is.

that doesn't give a lot of confidence

for the backup line – maybe Felix missed his block

by Billito on Aug 9, 2008 10:12 PM CDT reply actions  

That was poor coverage

but a terrible call. That was NOT PI.

Geaux Cowboys!

by dlthibo on Aug 9, 2008 10:12 PM CDT reply actions  

yeah

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

by scottmaui on Aug 9, 2008 10:13 PM CDT up reply actions  

Better to be sloppy now

with time to clean it up before the season.

don't blame that on him only tho

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 up reply actions  

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.

last series for felix?

any of you who thought they were going to sneak and get Felix low in fantasy football, better think again..

Neon Deion used to run like that

He would leave others behind, but never looked like he was running hard.

Oh man I love the way he runs. I can see that smooth cuts and vision right there.

would score 21 pts with this group.

Second team

just remember, this is the second team QB and O-line. In any real situation only one or two of them would be in…

by scottmaui on Aug 9, 2008 10:25 PM CDT reply actions  

But They're Facing

The second team Chargers defense…

by kindablue on Aug 9, 2008 10:26 PM CDT up reply actions  

It really doesn't matter in the end

The backups will be coming in 1 or 2 at a time, not as a unit…it’s the individual play we need to worry about

by mhuff13 on Aug 9, 2008 10:27 PM CDT up reply actions  

yup

and O-line is one area where the depth is lacking

by scottmaui on Aug 9, 2008 10:28 PM CDT up reply actions  

k, we get the ball back in the 2nd half

put in Bartel, go down and score…

Tony Romo's #1 fan!

by Longhorn on Aug 9, 2008 10:25 PM CDT reply actions  

who cares about the score

its about getting a look at the players and see how they perform in certain situations

bartel

Leading scoring drives is important..

But hey, let’s remember this is preseason.

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 up reply actions  

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

A lot of positives to take away from the 1st half.. Romo 3 for 3 in 1st game action of the season..

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
