He made one nice throw, had PI on another, and miscoomunication on the last..

seriously

I suggest we all take a sip of your favorite cocktail whenever we kick the ball.

Getting absolutely killed. Got to admit, it is disappointing.

by Philosopher on Aug 9, 2008 10:53 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

why is it disapointing

Dallas always plays a horrible first preseason game. Its the first time for real hitting and the young players are so jacked, theyr’re making some mistakes. The coaches can go through and show them where the mistakes are made in their film review. Next week they’ll be alot better and even better the next week. The score is irrelevant

by Deke on Aug 9, 2008 10:56 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

this is getting familiar

bad kick coverage, bad defensive field position
pass interference penalties

by scottmaui on Aug 9, 2008 10:53 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I know it's preseason

but I thought our depth was better than this. Only the first team squads looked good. Of course none of our ST’s have looked good.

his mind knows where the throws should go but the arm just can’t cash that check.

Bartel might be green but he is moving the chains and getting guys involved. Brad hurts to watch….almost sad.

Watching TV and online

It is cool watching this with TV and CHANNELSURFING.NET because there’s a delay online, so you can watch the play on TV, then watch it online, then watch the replay on TV, then the replay online. The timing is perfect.

My evaluation

!st teams looked great
Felix was awesome
choice has run great
Miles austin is looking good
scandrick and jenkins looked good
Pacman…errr…Adam jones needs to keep working
carp looked pretty good
Zack thomas was all over the place making tackles

special teams were aweful,B johnson sucks….
pass interference calls made this look like a blowout

overall I liked what we’ve done….i’m encouraged for our 1st preseason game

My quick assessment

I’m sure I’ve left plenty out, but this is what stands out for me…

UP

Tank – right out of the gate he was showing his quickness off the ball
Zach – what we expected, near the ball, making tackles
Felix – We saw what we’ve been hearing about, especially in two big plays, and he did well in pass blocking
Choice – also impressed with running and blocking, TD
Carpenter, Scandrick & Jenkins – in good position to make some plays
Miles – aggressive catches and running after
Bartel – looked pretty decent, TD drive
Cricket – As much as he celebrated a TC TD, he must be stoked to get a preseason one!

DOWN
Amendola – fumbled punt return
Brad – uninspiring, weak, interception
Reserve O-line – looked porous
Coleman – Muffed a kickoff and didn’t impress on runs or returns
Coverage units – is place for trying guys out, but repeated mistakes lead to questions of coaching
