It’s the Dallas Cowboys third game of the presason and you know what that means - the dress rehearsal. In the Cowboys case, it is sort of a dress rehearsal when they take on the Houston Texans on Saturday night.
Coach Mike McCarthy stated that the 1s on defense should see snaps all the way through the first half of the game. They’ll be without DeMarcus Lawrence and Neville Gallimore, but most of the rest should be out there. All eyes will be on the linebackers to see how Dan Quinn handles that group, and who starts opposite Trevon Diggs at outside corner. We should get an inkling of what things will look like come Week 1 versus Tampa Bay.
On offense, things will not be so clear. Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott will not play, and the 1s on offense should only get a couple of series before they substituted off for a look at the depth players.

Game Preview
Every week we will be putting together a preview show for the upcoming Dallas Cowboys game on the Blogging The Boys YouTube Channel. During the preview we will discuss the biggest storylines, highlight some things to watch during our Film Room segment, and speak with somebody who covers the opposing team to get an idea on what Dallas is up against.
During the preseason we will have on members of the media that cover the Cowboys since that is our primary focus, but as noted we will switch to opponents when the regular season arrives.
You can watch our preview show for the Texans game right here. Please make sure to subscribe to our channel (which you can do right here) so that you don’t miss any of our videos!
