Did the Cowboys announce who's playing

Are we resting the starters?

the defense lineup looks ugly, but i have high hopes for both OLB and the DL

by andien on Sep 4, 2009 6:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

No TE?

Just as long as MartyB makes it thru his time with no nicks or bruises. He’s really valuable to the offense this year.

The season begins in 3...2...

Deangelo Smith: not playing well
Mike Hamlin: injured
Stephen Hodge: injured
Buehler: playing well
John Phillips: playing well
