Cowboys Vs Texans **Official Game Thread**

[smashmouth]

Dammit Morgan....he's running his mouth in the press..he needs to be out learning how to catch...I'd rather keep 6 running backs or Crowder than keep Morgan. I've totally lost faith in the guy. Let's cut our losses.
It was a soft throw too, I can understand if it was an Elway straight arm slant, but it was soft. No reason for that, get him outta here.

[Armbender]

It seems like the NFL "No Huddle" is giving more air time to the KC/SEA game than they are to the Cowboys/Texans.

Bummer
yeah.....i noticed that too...argggggg :bang2:

[zagnut]

why was Henson not holding?

I think because if Romo's the backup QB he has to be the holder. Otherwise Henson will be the backup QB or Parcells has to have all 3 QBs on the active game roster instead of reserving one in the emergency QB role. I think.

[smashmouth]

Nice pop by Bruce Thornton to break up the pass.

[wileedog]

It was a soft throw too, I can understand if it was an Elway straight arm slant, but it was soft. No reason for that, get him outta here.
As much as I'm down on him too, he's still our only legitimate 'speed' backup WR behind Glenn, who's not noted for his durability.

We still need someone to stretch the field if Glenn goes down. We have to keep Morgan on the roster one way or the other.

[Rezz]

I'll say this, Crayton has finally won me over. I think that Craytons hands are magnets...and the ball is steel. He's like a black hole, the ball goes in and it never comes back....Make room for me on the Patrick bandwagon, cuz I'm driving it lol...

[Cbz40]

Good breakup Thornton

[WV Cowboy]

I'm in WV

What is the score, quarter, time ???

Who has looked good ?

[smashmouth]

OMG, that punt bounced back like 20 yards ending up in a 12 yard punt. lmao

[da_boyz_mk]

I'll say this, Crayton has finally won me over. I think that Craytons hands are magnets...and the ball is steel. He's like a black hole, the ball goes in and it never comes back....Make room for me on the Patrick bandwagon, cuz I'm driving it lol...

i jumped on tonight too

[BlueStar22]

seems like lots of empty seats in Texas Stadium, must be the heat!

[Cbz40]

Dallas 7 Texans 3 Just started the 4th quarter.

[InmanRoshi]

As much as I'm down on him too, he's still our only legitimate 'speed' backup WR behind Glenn, who's not noted for his durability.

We still need someone to stretch the field if Glenn goes down. We have to keep Morgan on the roster one way or the other.

Copper ran a 4.39 on grass at his pro day at East Carolina. At this point I'd rather have him. At least he plays good special teams.

[smashmouth]

As much as I'm down on him too, he's still our only legitimate 'speed' backup WR behind Glenn, who's not noted for his durability.

We still need someone to stretch the field if Glenn goes down. We have to keep Morgan on the roster one way or the other.You're right but, I would be all over the waiver wire searching for some unknown or something.

And as soon as I found it, I would let him go. He's like Alexander Wright, the fastest man in the world, but could not play football.

[Dallas]

I'm in WV

What is the score, quarter, time ???

Who has looked good ?

7-3 Dallas

Teams doesnt look great but they dont look terrible neither. Ware is on fire again. Roy/Davis are leaving WR bodies on the field. :D

[TLW47]

Gosh but this is a typical ugly preseason game. Both teams look like their tanks are empty.

[LeonDixson]

As much as I'm down on him too, he's still our only legitimate 'speed' backup WR behind Glenn, who's not noted for his durability.

We still need someone to stretch the field if Glenn goes down. We have to keep Morgan on the roster one way or the other.

I disagree. We shouldn't keep someone who can't catch the damn ball. I'd rather bring Randall Williams back for pete's sake.

[Draegerman]

Sounds like Newman is having a decent game too.

[Cbz40]

I disagree. We shouldn't keep someone who can't catch the damn ball. I'd rather bring Randall Williams back for pete's sake.


RW He can at least play ST

[smashmouth]

3 and out. Thompson ran a horrible route on that play.

[da_boyz_mk]

bad throw by romo....bad route by tyson too

[Dallas]

Wow - No Huddle highlights of Crayton. This guy plays w/ FIRE.

I love him! ;)

[Cbz40]

Parcells all over Thompson

[LeonDixson]

RW He can at least play ST

Exactly! and score 3 second TDs on on-side kicks.

[Cajuncowboy]

bad throw by romo....bad route by tyson too

It was a screen pass. By law we are not permitted to complete the pass.

[JonJon]

I'll say it again...lol
If Dallas wants a WR that dropps the ball, go with Koren Robinson....at least he has #1-2 WR natual ability.

Morgan hasn't done anything worth keeping so far. He would be a wasted slot.

[smashmouth]

RW He can at least play ST
At least? lmao. Roy Williams has given at least 3 Chiropractors lots of work tomorrow.

[wileedog]

I disagree. We shouldn't keep someone who can't catch the damn ball. I'd rather bring Randall Williams back for pete's sake.

Randall Williams couldn't get open vs. real NFL CBs.

MOrgan has close to a 1K yard season to his credit. Sorry, but he;s still better than Copper, Crowder, or anyone else we are going to pick up at this point.

By all means draft a top WR nexst year and wave goodbye to Morgan, but this year we need him and a prayer or two. Maybe some non-detectable stick-um as well....

[dragon_mikal]

Damn. That was nice.

[smashmouth]

I'll tell you who was strong tonight besides Glover and Newman, Glover. And our new safety Coady just put someone in lala land with a crushing hit.

[Rezz]

Coady with a knockout punch!

[da_boyz_mk]

nice hit cody!

[LeonDixson]

Randall Williams couldn't get open vs. real NFL CBs.

Well we just disagree. If we do keep him I hope he makes a few plays for us.

[BlueStar22]

Big hits are contagious. Nice one Cody!

[smashmouth]

Dallas Cowboys Defense can hit!

[Hollywood Henderson]

I agree Wileey,
Morgan is trying to play through his injured shoulder..
He DID lead the whole NFL in avg per catch...

[da_boyz_mk]

Wow.....go Burnett

[Rezz]

Burnett!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[smashmouth]

Fumble Burnett, OMG and ratliff on the fumble recovery. Do you think we drafted well this year?

[lyrclcipha12]

our defense has been amazing tonight

[jobberone]

Burnett

[InmanRoshi]

Ratliff is holding that ball with two hands running to the sidelines like Emmitt Smith running a lead draw behind Step and Newy. Does he think someone is going to strip it from him?

[SDogo]

Rookies!!!!!!!!!

[smashmouth]

Thompson is the real deal I think.

[Draegerman]

What's up with the inadvertant face mask that the ref mentioned but didn't assess any penalty towards? That didn't make any sense at all.

[Dallas]

Fumble Burnett, OMG and ratliff on the fumble recovery. Do you think we drafted well this year?

UNDERSTATEMENT of the month.

Thank you for playing. :p:

[Hollywood Henderson]

Come on Cowboys finish strong! :)

[smashmouth]

Wow! Nice throw by Romo to Copper on the 1 yard line.

[Cbz40]

Copper is a keeper #4

[smashmouth]

Thompson scored!!!!!!!!! Jumped over the pack for a touchdown.....

[Rezz]

atta boy tyson! welcome to the team.

[da_boyz_mk]

TD!!!!!!

i think these cowboys are gonna be fun to watch...frustrating but fun

[LeonDixson]

Copper > Morgan

[Dallas]

From the 1 yrd line Thompson dives over the pile head first into the endzone for the score. :laugh1:

[JonJon]

Thompson to the Pro Bowl!!!

Well, maybe not, but good TD for him!

[smashmouth]

Copper is a keeper #4I agree, and Crayton is our Future #2. Now all we have to do is draft a #1 and we're set for years.

[peppersquad]

Leo Carson in a FB leading the way on that one.


intresting.

[LaTunaNostra]

Leo Carson was in at fullback?

[dallasblue05]

TouchDoooooowwwnnnnn Cowboys!!!!!!! nice jump by Thompson. He really got up there.

[InmanRoshi]

Carson was in at FB, and Ratliff was in as an extra TE.

[Cbz40]

Kudos to this rookie class....they are exciting to watch.

[da_boyz_mk]

Leo Carson in a FB leading the way on that one.


intresting.

was he really in there?? i didn't notice that..

[smashmouth]

Leo Carson was in at fullback?Unbelievable! I didn't catch that.

[jobberone]

Leo Carson was in at fullback?

Yeah and got a pat on the behind from Parcells after the play

[LaTunaNostra]

Carson was in at FB, and Ratliff was in as an extra TE.
But not Canty. ;)

[da_boyz_mk]

Kudos to this rookie class....they are exciting to watch.

that they are :laugh1:

[underdark]

i haven't heard Canty's name tonight, where is he? He's the guy I wanted in at TE at the goal line.

[TLW47]

I keep thinking the Cowboys will pick up a wide receiver that another team waives. We're just average at that position I think.

[Payton34Smith22]

:flagwave: Yea!!! :yourock:

[Hollywood Henderson]

Keep on building guys!
Get better & better!

[smashmouth]

That sucks. A kick off return for 104 yards.

[Cbz40]

Come on ST.....

[jobberone]

But not Canty. ;)

Just couldn't help it could you. :)

[Draegerman]

At this point, Quincy Morgan might even have a tough time locking up the sixth WR spot on our roster.

[Rezz]

Sweet hurdle by Swinton....Good luck to him. NIce return for a TD

[InmanRoshi]

I'd rather have Swinton than Quincy Morgan.

[jobberone]

Swinton TD. Dang. Always could do that well.

[smashmouth]

Coady hit the RB to deny the 2 point conversion.

[Dallas]

Heheh our ST's are TERRIBLE!!! Wow

102 yrds for a TD. WOW

[da_boyz_mk]

good news....we can kick it deep in the end zone

bad news.... we can't cover kicks for nothin'

[calico]

Nice return by Swinton...Too bad he only does it a few times a year. I can't count how many times he had to change his tampon during a return here.

[lyrclcipha12]

our special teams have looked horrible on return defense...how bout coady tho, hes had a couple of big hits

[Draegerman]

Swinton = 102 yards on return. Incredible.

[Hollywood Henderson]

Swinton always did have a good feel for the KO return!

[SDogo]

Our special teams need serious attention!

[jlust22]

Reggie Swinton, former Cowboy great, looked pretty good on that return. Bad special teams play tonight.

[da_boyz_mk]

i bet swinton wants to put out another cheesy rap cd now

[lyrclcipha12]

has canty played tonight, how has he looked? i havent heard his name at all over the radio...sorry for my ignorance

[smashmouth]

good news....we can kick it deep in the end zone

bad news.... we can't cover kicks for nothin':laugh1: Our turn.

[InmanRoshi]

Hopefully the people on that coverage team are a bunch of guys who will be watching opening weekend from their couch.

[Cbz40]

I would like to see a 8 min drive.....lol

[smashmouth]

No Henson tonight so far.

[dallasblue05]

hey when they went for 2 and we stopped them, that was a pretty nice Defensive stop!! and oh by the way, Cortez ran pretty good for a kicker didnt he, lol.....

[smashmouth]

hey when they went for 2 and we stopped them, that was a pretty nice Defensive stop!! and oh by the way, Cortez ran pretty good for a kicker didnt he, lol.....Outstanding catch by Crowder and throw by Romo, WOW!

[dragon_mikal]

Beautiful.

[da_boyz_mk]

nice throw and catch...romo to crowder...1st down

[InmanRoshi]

Nice throw by Romo.

[lyrclcipha12]

No Henson tonight so far.

romo sounds good so far, hit crowder in stride apparently

[calico]

I don't think Henson will see the field. Romo is the backup and I am happy with it being a henson supporter.

[Draegerman]

Yea, no doubt about Romo. He's definitely earned the backup job.

[smashmouth]

Romo #2 QB. Thompson #2 RB. Period.

[Rezz]

Tyson has scary speed...He really does.

[DoomsDayD]

Anyone know what time the game replays tomorrow night???

[lyrclcipha12]

keep 4 rb's keep 4 rb's keep 4 rb's

[BlueStar22]

his inside running is crap though.

[lyrclcipha12]

Anyone know what time the game replays tomorrow night???

5pm pacific time i believe on nfl network...i have it tivo'd or whatever the hell that is

[smashmouth]

If Thompson can pick up the Blitz then he should be the #2. He's also not afraid to go up the middle.

[Rezz]

Yeah he's suspect inside...but you just don't give away players with his kind of speed.

[Cbz40]

Parcells checking TT toughness....

[dallasblue05]

nice long run by thompson

[smashmouth]

his inside running is crap though.Didn't look like crap on that play.

[lyrclcipha12]

Yeah he's suspect inside...but you just don't give away players with his kind of speed.

sounds like he did ok up the middle on that last play

[InmanRoshi]

Thompson is in la-la land.

[dragon_mikal]

Tyson either hurt or exhausted.

[peppersquad]

Parcells checking TT toughness....


Exactly.



Carson & Ratlif in again.

[jman]

Is this now our version of the old Redskins "Heavy Jumbo"

[Hollywood Henderson]

Go TT!

[dallasblue05]

Anyone know what time the game replays tomorrow night???

it'll be at 6 central NFL Network

[LeonDixson]

his inside running is crap though.

What's that again?

[Draegerman]

It still amazes me everytime they mention how T. Thompson wasn't drafted this year. Unbelieveable.

[dallasblue05]

k, now were on the 2 yard line, goal time baby, lets get this one!!!

[wileedog]

Parcells checking TT toughness....

No doubt exactly what he's doing. He did it to Barber last week.

[Draegerman]

What's that again?

Touche' :laugh2:

[Waffle]

Tyson Thompson is deteriorated!!!!!!!!! He's so tired, he can barely stand up. He's doing great though once he's given the ball! 8 carries on the drive.

[Cbz40]

Thompson 6 straight carries.......

[smashmouth]

I would run him again, I want to see what the line has, and what TT has.

[lyrclcipha12]

Romo #2 QB. Thompson #2 RB. Period.

damn over a-train? thompson is playing against the weakest d the other team has to offer, i wouldnt jump that far just yet, but he definately has speed that first team d or third team d cant stop

[Cbz40]

Get it in the endzone

[Draegerman]

Just treat T-squared like the Energizer bunny.

[da_boyz_mk]

way to go morgan....glad to see that

[smashmouth]

Touchdown Q.Morgan.

[peppersquad]

Morgan for 2nd WR!!!!!

[dragon_mikal]

Wow. Morgan with an impressive catch.

[lyrclcipha12]

moose is heated about leo carson being a fullback...its hilarious

[Rezz]

HEllllllllooooooooo....quincy...make me eat my wordS!!!! Very nice catch!

[BlueStar22]

good job Quincy!

[InmanRoshi]

Again, nice throw by Romo. Put it only where Morgan could get it.

[dallasblue05]

yyyeeeaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, TD Morgan, great throw by Romo....

[wileedog]

Thompson 6 straight carries.......

Parcells will run him til he drops. He will do this so that he knows during the season exactly how many times he can run TT before he drops.

There is always method to the madness....

[marchetta]

Did I hear right??? Quincy Morgan TD???

[jman]

What do ya know?...He caught one.

Parcells drew that one up just for him...I bet cha'

[Draegerman]

And with that, Q. Morgan locks up the sixth receiver slot with the Cowboys.

[Dallas]

Lol Touchdown Morgan!!

Hes acting like - YAH I TOLD YOU SO!! Come on - 3rd string defenders cuzin. Dont get to uppity.

[da_boyz_mk]

Morgan for 2nd WR!!!!!

LOL...good stuff :lmao2:

[The30YardSlant]

I think I might faint

[zagnut]

My radio is saying weird things. It says Morgan...caught...the ball? I can't believe that.

[smashmouth]

HEllllllllooooooooo....quincy...make me eat my wordS!!!! Very nice catch!Nice but you still can't trust him.

I may have over reacted on cutting him, but what about ROMO throwing the ball today? Impressive

[Woods]

HEllllllllooooooooo....quincy...make me eat my wordS!!!! Very nice catch!

And me too!

[Cbz40]

I'll give him credit.....Good catch Morgan. Romo good throw.

[Hollywood Henderson]

Good job Morgan!
Nice catch!

[JonJon]

something is wrong with my computer....the screen says Morgan just caught a TD? THere must be something wrong here...

[marchetta]

Great! Now we can get a conditional 7th rd pick when we trade him!

[wileedog]

Lol Touchdown Morgan!!

Hes acting like - YAH I TOLD YOU SO!! Come on - 3rd string defenders cuzin. Dont get to uppity.

HIs problem has never been getting open, even on 1st stringers....

[Rezz]

lol i almost did faint...great catch...great throw by mr. romo.

[Cbz40]

something is wrong with my computer....the screen says Morgan just caught a TD? THere must be something wrong here...


Mine crashed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Hollywood Henderson]

They say the vets went out to cheer Morgan, cool, must like the guy!

[NYCowboy22]

Finally, a catch out of Morgan. Check his hands for thumbtacks.

[Bryan8284]

I wasn't paying full attention after the catch, but I could have sworn that Moose said "bless his heart, he caught it."

[Cajuncowboy]

That was funny. THe radio guys, during the play call says " Henson throws, Bless his heart he caught it!" They were stunned he caught the ball as we were.

[SDogo]

I wasn't paying full attention after the catch, but I could have sworn that Moose said "bless his heart, he caught it."

He did! ROFLMAO!!

[Rezz]

haha that was awesome...i hope he proves me wrong...great catch..nice throw by romo.

[calico]

there Swinton goes changing that Tampon like we all remember.

[Hollywood Henderson]

I wasn't stunned,
Morgan is a player!

[Dallas]

I wasn't paying full attention after the catch, but I could have sworn that Moose said "bless his heart, he caught it."

You have to love Johnston. The guy is just flat out a nice guy. Always was a freakin standup cat. Loved him.

[da_boyz_mk]

nice play LEO CARSON!!!

[Draegerman]

They just announced on Cowboys Radio that P. Crayton had swiped Q. Morgan's jersey and went out and scored that touchdown while the real Morgan was still looking for his helmet.

Just thought you all would like to know...

[igtmfo]

Romo's completely sharp tonight. It's all good lately for bubble guys: tthompson, atrain, copper, crowder for gawds sake. Did I say Romo looks great? He will always be antsy and make us nervous, but he's in the zone tonite.

[Rezz]

You know our defense just looked plain salty tonite...let's all rejoice in that fact. We looked good 3 teams deep..I love it!>

[JonJon]

That was a career make or break catch for Morgan if you think about it. If he drops it, he is definitely cut and may not get picked up by another team. He keeps himself alive for at least on more week by catching it.

[Cbz40]

They just announced on Cowboys Radio that P. Crayton had swiped Q. Morgan's jersey and went out and scored that touchdown while the real Morgan was still looking for his helmet.

Just thought you all would like to know...


:lmao2:

[AbeBeta]

Oh no. Henson isn't going to get in the game. I feel another Henson vs. Romo thread coming on.

[fortdick]

My radio is saying weird things. It says Morgan...caught...the ball? I can't believe that.

LMAO :lmao2:

[calico]

Oh no. Henson isn't going to get in the game. I feel another Henson vs. Romo thread coming on.

There should not be. Romo is the back up and Henson will get another year to learn...just like it should be.

[BlueStar22]

I hope that is a Rocket Ismail jersey that guy in the stands has on and not Morgan.

[jman]

Oh no. Henson isn't going to get in the game. I feel another Henson vs. Romo thread coming on.

Nope...Romo has just done something a Dallas QB hasn't done since Aikman...

He beat out Henson and actually earned the job.

[Hollywood Henderson]

Yeah Moose is a good guy and a good announcer! :cool:

[Waffle]

Is this Kincade's first action?

[Wimbo]

BP gives Kincade a run in Cowboys' uniform. Nice gesture.

[Vman]

Yeah Moose is a good guy and a good announcer! :cool:


Well, Moose is a good guy, but actually Brad Sham is the one who said 'Bless his heart, he caught it.'

[fortdick]

Oh no. Henson isn't going to get in the game. I feel another Henson vs. Romo thread coming on.

Ya think? I would love to have the ability to go back 4 months and see who was posting "Henson for starter" and who is flaming him now. Think we would find any hypocrisy?

[Cbz40]

Again!!!!!!! I predict 9 rookies make this team........at least 7..lol

These kids are fun to watch.

[Hollywood Henderson]

Yes, Brad is a nice guy too, but it wasn't me who said it was Moose who said Bless his heart... :)
Both good guys!

[Draegerman]

Yeah Moose is a good guy and a good announcer! :cool:

Agree. I much rather have him call our games rather than the Raven games that he was assigned to do along with Tony Siragusa (sp?) and Dick Stockton.

Moose and Aikman both have done an excellent job as NFL analysts.

[AbeBeta]

Is this Kincade's first action?

First and last.

[wileedog]

There should not be. Romo is the back up and Henson will get another year to learn...just like it should be.

Yup.

I'm just praying Henson doesn't walk into Bill's office tomorrow and ask what his role is.....

[smashmouth]

Again!!!!!!! I predict 9 rookies make this team........at least 7..lol

These kids are fun to watch.I completely agree. BP was embarrassed and rolled up his sleeves and kicked butt this off-season.

[smashmouth]

Yup.

I'm just praying Henson doesn't walk into Bill's office tomorrow and ask what his role is.....:lmao2:

[Hollywood Henderson]

The team is loaded with talent, lets hope it gells...

We can finally do some things on D we haven't been able to in many many moons!

[da_boyz_mk]

great game everyone!!! had fun as always

[smashmouth]

thanks again guys, enjoyed it!!!

[Hollywood Henderson]

Yep fun game!

[Cajuncowboy]

One more to go then it's for real boys! Can't wait. Been a long time coming.

[SteveOS]

Great job guys, just read through this entire 47 page thread :) Although, nobody mentioned how long JJ's TD run was. :) And quit scaring us w/ the Ware hurt stuff! Sheesh!

[marchetta]

Now that the game is over, I can start worrying about Ware's injury.

[Cbz40]

One more to go then it's for real boys! Can't wait. Been a long time coming.


Same here.....Looking forward to the regular season.

[Overalls]

Congrats on the win gents.

[da_boyz_mk]

Great job guys, just read through this entire 47 page thread :) Although, nobody mentioned how long JJ's TD run was. :) And quit scaring us w/ the Ware hurt stuff! Sheesh!

21 yard td run by JJ :D

[Dallas]

True. If we can score here that will translate into an offense that scores what 14 points per game? Wow. I'm ordering my SB tickets tonight!

I counted 21 pts we scored tonight. You bettah get to orderin baby! :D

[HeHateMe]

And thats a final.

Many things to be happy with.

But of course, many things need to be worked on.

Offensive line still a little dicey, although Petitti played well for a rookie 6th rounder LT making the adjustment to the right side.

Crayton continues to impress and is now the clear cut 3rd WR.

Not sure if Morgan is going to make the team or not even though he did have a TD tonight.

Bledsoe seems to be rounding into form. He just needs some better pass protection at this point.

A-Train and Tyson Thompson both looked solid and should both make the team.

We may end up with 4 RBs and 1 FB this season.

Romo was so-so. Henson didnt play. So I presume the backup job is settled.

D was much better. And has gotten much better since game one.

And this is WITHOUT Fergueson and Spears.

D-Line was stout, LBs were solid, and the DBs were swarming.

Williams was a man possessed tonight making some nice tackles.

Overall, I'm content, but realize there is still MUCH TO DO.

And many decisions to make regarding the roster.

But hey, a win is a win. I'll take it and I'll take 2-1 so far.

[dallasblue05]

Its been a lot of fun guys, this was my first time to be in the forum sa a game was on!! I will do my best to be here every week, at my desk or with my lap top, lol, great conversation, peace, until next week!! lol, we should have an *Official Re-Run* thread, and analyze the game more closely. What'd'ya think, lol.

[SteveOS]

21 yard td run by JJ :D

Thanks! :D
