Did the Cowboys announce who's playing
Are we resting the starters?
Training Camp '09 = Mega Thunder Dome....80 men enter, 53 men leave.
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...

Will AP play?
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
I dont want to see
Romo
Felix
nor any of our starting linemen today
Stanbust
arm tackles are like Kryptonite to him…
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
I'm guessing if Stanback doesn't do something great
He’s outta here
Geaux Cowboys!
Whew!
Only Bennett’s presence worries me
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
That's Gonna Be Tough
behind that line
Geaux Cowboys!
O-TREE!!!
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
NICE PASS PRO
ugh
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
TELLY BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
O-Line sucking out of the gate
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
We better prey
that Kitna survives this game so we can have a legit back up at QB and that no one from the O-line gets hurt during the season…..these guys suck
he's killing it
GET HIM OFF OF THE FIELD!!!
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
He's on the team
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Bye bye Stanbust
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Was that the first time this pre season we scored on opening dirve?
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Holland, Free and Preston look pretty solid so far
Will be a pleasant change over last year
just rewound to watch again
mcq’s guy blew past him .. free was in position to recover the fumble
Those are the Vikes’ 2’s right? That looked too easy…
by goldnboi7 on Sep 4, 2009 7:17 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
I'm worried about injuries to the DB's
We’re thin out there and I want to see who can step up, but not get hurt.
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Is there another person on the planet with the name
Tarvaris?
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
im sure there is
I knew a guy name Tarvaris Lee in high school, he was ok but that was the gayest black dude i’ve ever known.
Better question:
Over/under 3 “D’Brickashaws” on the earth…
I’m takin the under…
by goldnboi7 on Sep 4, 2009 7:25 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
I like Derrick Robinson
What are his chances?
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Better than 26%
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
We were held!
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Drive down, score another and then go the rest of the way with the wildcat with Proctor at QB
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Why not try Ogletree at PR
He’s built like one. And it would be helpful for a 5th WR.
I agree
I would love to see him in the open field…
The guy has quick moves…he can make people miss
Every game, there's a center-QB issue
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
hmm
kitna and proctor have exchange problems .. kitna and preston have exchange problems .. what is the common link
I hope this dropped snap thing
Ain’t a recurring issue…
by goldnboi7 on Sep 4, 2009 7:26 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
have you not been watching?
it happens over and over.. that is like the definition of recurring, right?
Tarvarvarvis has his own problems
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Ohhhh, that was one of Campo's guys that fell asleep
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Deangelo Smith
= cut
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay, the first coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
well had no pressure in the secondary and minimal pressure on the qb...
…must have only had 7 on the field!
LB's were dropping 15+ yards back in the zone
It happened on the overthrow too. That was a weird defense.
Gotta wonder if that's how Wade drew it up eh?
Geaux Cowboys!
Looked like they were all MLB
in a Tampa 2.
Poor kid
I don’t hate Stanback. But he just can’t play.
Butler
got punked on that touchdown throw. He has to be able to beat scrub RB’s.
I've been a Stanback supporter
but enuf is enuf
Geaux Cowboys!
I feel bad for him.
Let’s put him at safety or something.
The season begins in 3...2...

Course it won’t be so funny when the QB depth chart goes
Romo
McGee

13 yr veteran QB
still doesn’t know how to slide. Come on.
Had to make a 1st down

He never slides.
He would rather jump straight into the air than slide.

Tarvaris Jackson is enough pass defense…

Brett
knows what he’s doing…by not suitin up, he gives someone the opening to ask why he isn’t suited up…and thus talk about Brett Favre…genius, right?
by goldnboi7 on Sep 4, 2009 7:43 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
if he did suit up, i can see it now
yahoo sports.com, Farve suits up but doesn’t play. Next week’s story: Farve ate a whopper with cheese.
Probably…until he sprains his hand signing the contract…
by goldnboi7 on Sep 4, 2009 7:48 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Crosslin...
not having a good night….the two throws his way haven’t been good, but he got his hands on ’em…
Stanback is obviously not going to make it as a WR in this league
hopefully he’ll have the opportunity to play QB somewhere
Looks like a 14 pt swing
Thanks to McQ
Geaux Cowboys!
yeah, that was brutal
supposed to have good feet against that speed rush

Jesse Holley
Missed the tackle and almost made a dramatic comeback.
One of Dallas' cover guys
was tackled. I think it was Ogletree
Geaux Cowboys!

thats one way to make the team .. (kidding)
I'm there dude

Wow, you see that statline on Favre
464 TD’s, 310 INT’s
What a horrible ratio

Has anyone paid any attention to Bobby Carpenter
He is flying around, but he is missing tackles…I count at three and it is still early in the game…
Somebody get some stickum up there
Stat…

At least that Pepsi commercial was good
Geaux Cowboys!
I feel bad for Lattimore too
He’s a good player and this was his audition for the rest of the league.
We should watch the MN players
They will be cutting some guys who may be of interest.
Ogletree walked off and appears to be okay. He was diagnosed with a left eye contusion and is listed as questionable for the rest of the game.
Who the hell told Wade to challenge that?!
Geaux Cowboys!
I think we should cut more than 22
and bring in better backups from the waiver wire.
Maybe Cowboys should fire the D coordinator? hehe
Geaux Cowboys!
Who did we draft that played poorly this game genius? (besides 7th rounders)
And what’s with the word “another” like last year
It's more about who we DIDN'T draft
Any doubts now that at least 2 more picks should have been used on O-line? Somebody, anybody.
by greatwhitenorth on Sep 4, 2009 8:22 PM CDT up reply actions
Doesn't speak well for Cowboys depth eh?
Geaux Cowboys!
Chin up, guys...
Season starts in 9 days lol
by goldnboi7 on Sep 4, 2009 8:22 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
Here's a question
How many waiver wire guys do we pick up between now and the end of wk 1?
what the hell.....
we were up 7-0, I went to diner and they scored 3 TD on us??…our backups really suck…..or is it the coaching?
Watkins
is the only one who hasn’t had glaringly bad play
guys you have to understand that
Jason Williams: injured
Robert Brewster: injured
Mcgee: injured
Butler: playing well
Brandon Williams injured
Deangelo Smith: not playing well
Mike Hamlin: injured
Stephen Hodge: injured
Buehler: playing well
John Phillips: playing well
Mickens: not playing well
Manny: playing ok
So everyone criticizing Jerry for this draft based on this game, you really need to get a clue.
can we bring in the turk
and cut the entire second team oline
by TARHEEL PAUL on Sep 4, 2009 8:28 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
and when i say bring in the turk i mean right now. at half time
by TARHEEL PAUL on Sep 4, 2009 8:29 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
Let Stanback Punt
I don’t care if it’s 20 yards. I just don’t want to risk McBriar – esp. kicking out of the end zone.
So who's not helping themselves?
I saw Free make a whif leading to the Fumble/Int.
When did I become a Cowboy fan? When my mom told me I was.
Philips and Ogletree, two new UVA Cavaliers for the Cowboys
Stanback is gone, no way somebody picks him up. If somebody does, then they are just wasting a roster spot, because he would have to be on their 53.
Ogletree looks good. If Stanback stays it's on Special Teams. Was it Lattimore that fumbled?
When did I become a Cowboy fan? When my mom told me I was.
I guess everyone is getting nacho's and beer
