nice
I love watching on the net, my son watching cartoons, and leaving me alone..
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
Need to call a hitch and go
because those DB’s are playing so tight.
Geaux Cowboys!
seriously
I suggest we all take a sip of your favorite cocktail whenever we kick the ball.
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
Are we using all rookies on ST?!
Geaux Cowboys!
our special teams are so bad
and we had to sit thru two sessions of special teams every practice at camp! Orange beanies be damned!
:) for sure
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
It sure makes it a little easier
when you only have to drive 55 yards for a TD!
Geaux Cowboys!
carp and burnett should be out there cleaning up.
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
I wouldn't respect the NFL
If he could take off from playing football for a year and come back look like a pro-bowler. He will be rusty..
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
they sure aren't missing there PI's.
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
80 yards in PI penalties

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
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.
Geaux Cowboys!
austin is holding it down
Is hurd around?
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
austin is..
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
say that again
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
It looks like Choice and Jones will be assets
Geaux Cowboys!
I didn't know he lead the ACC in rushing the last 2 years..
Jerry was stealing
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
you know alonzo coleman has to be saying curse words to himself
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
deke
there’s the scoring drive by bartel we wanted..
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
NOw let's see if ST can hold them to a 30 yard return!
Geaux Cowboys!
miles is making me a believer....
good stuff by choice…looks go guys! bartel is outplaying johnson so far….
woud you rather
have to work on ST or rush d?
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
You know it's bad when allowing the opponent
to get to the 33 on the KO is considered good.
Geaux Cowboys!
Brad experience
Brad can have experience, but can’t over come what he lacks physically..
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
Don't bet on B Johnson making the team
If jerry has any chances to get an upgrade, you know he will do it.
I hope JJ looks around
to find a veteran backup QB…with an arm.
Geaux Cowboys!
especially now
Brad looked like he was moving in sloooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww MOTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOONNNNNN
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
Just be a stinger...
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
holding it like a stinger
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
That's what it looks like
We gotta hope that’s all it is
Geaux Cowboys!
worst case is collarbone
4-6 weeks
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
perfect
stinger nice..
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
What the hell did he base that on?!
Geaux Cowboys!
san diego guy don't trust him..
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
T CURT
winslow the 3rd
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
The O under
Romo and Bartel looking good.
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
I agree
Bartel might be green but he is moving the chains and getting guys involved. Brad hurts to watch….almost sad.
I'll 3rd that
Keep Bartel or find someone else
Geaux Cowboys!
Hannah held onto the ball while getting hit...
unlike another TE on our roster
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.
any UFC-MMA fans in the house?
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin

Maybe we should punt on 1st down
so they can cover it
Geaux Cowboys!
Scandrick back in the game!
You'll never get in a traffic jam,while going the extra mile. -Roger staubach
Yipppeeee!
Scandrick is back in there
Geaux Cowboys!
And they tried to test him..
bobby digital making plays
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
He stood a yard deep in the endzone on one of the 1 yard TD's
And waited for the play to come to him.
amendola was open
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
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
You'll never get in a traffic jam,while going the extra mile. -Roger staubach
How about a TO for our 3rd team defense?
Geaux Cowboys!
It has been great blogging again
During an actual game again.I got my tickets this week for the opener in cleveland.we have some work to do between now and then…but I can’t wait! Great to see some cowboys football though!

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
spears got great pressure 2.
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
he needs some balls throw his way
if he is like welker he needs the ball steady coming his way..
"If you see me up in the mountains with a lion, I ain't lyin
don't help me, help the mountain lion"
It's been fun...
hope to chat with everyone during the Denver game
Geaux Cowboys!
