Preseason Game 2 reactions (and overreactions)

[RustyBourneHorse]

Well, that wraps things up for preseason game 2. I suppose now it's time for the forum's Preseason Game 2 reactions (and overreactions). The Cowboys are 2-0.........sort of, it's preseason so the records don't really count, but I'd rather see 2-0 instead of 0-2 anyway lol.

I think the first thing for me is that, it's not just a preseason 2-0.....it's been a dominant 2-0 for our depth. I'm aware that the Cardinals are terrible. But, the same depth pieces also dominated the Seattle depth. So, I'm inclined to think that our depth is actually decent.

Barsham and Revel looked AWESOME. I think Milton solidified himself as the QB2. I can't wait to see our starting offense and starting defence play together. Who'd have thought that last year? What a difference an offseason and proper coaching can have!

All in all, well done to the coaches. I know it's vanilla, and I know it's preseason. But I'm delighted at how dominant we've looked the last two preseason games. It's encouraging to me.

Milton keeps the QB backup job..........

 

[reddyuta]

prediction-Barham will be the MLB and also the green dot.

 

[Tabascocat]

They don’t look like chickens with their heads cutoff running around like the last two decades. That is promising in preseason

I agree with this. He looks like a steal, and I love that he's a Cowboy.

Definitely, even the depth pieces seem to know what they're doing. Haven't really seen that since Parcells, and Parcells had two a days lol.

I don't know if I'd say Revel looked awesome. He had the illegal contact penalty and on the interception, the receiver tripped. He was in the right place at the right time to make the interception, though.

Barham looked like he's going to be a beast.

Both Mingo and Brown had shining moments at receiver.

This was the best I've seen Jay Toia look since he's been here, and Overton got him a sack. I've liked what I've seen overall of the backup interior defensive linemen in these two games.

Barham is special

Being in the right place, at the right time
Well, isn’t that what we’re supposed to do

I wasn't able to watch the game fully, but the players who impressed me were Milton and Barham.

I cannot get over how much better Milton is at putting both touch and air under the ball in his throws. He's not perfect and he threw a couple of fast balls when he shouldn't have but overall it's surprising and impressive to see a backup quarterback here actually get better each year.

I liked Barham when he was drafted but the way he broke through the line tonight when I got a chance to see him play was better than I expected.

The players that disappointed were Kuntz, Blue and Shelton.

I get that some people are fans of Blue but honestly, I just don't see anything special in him. I have a feeling that if he didn't play for Texas, most fans wouldn't be supporting him. That said, at this point RB3 is still open so maybe one of the non-Williams/Davis runningbacks will step up before the season starts.

As for Kuntz, I can deal with a slow tight-end but I cannot deal with one that cannot catch the ball because there are too many out there who can do that. Right now we have some C-level tight-ends on this team and one B+ (until he gets the fumble problem under control) and one B- tight-end.

I didn't get to see a lot of the game so the offensive plays I saw were limited, yet I remember seeing Shelton get blown by three different times in those limited plays. Hopefully he gets better or they get someone else in there to compete and hopefully replace Guyton.

Would Arizona trade us Josh Sweat for Joe Milton straight up? Lol

Kuntz caught everything.

Him or Downs.

Both rookies.

Wow

 

[DuncanIso]

Kumtz caught everything.

He’s very athletic.

 

[erod]

He’s very athletic.

And tall.

If any of you are disappointed with a 6th string TE that got to camp late, you seriously need to adjust your expectations.

Good point with Revel, but still, he looks solid imo. And yeah, Barham is a heat speaking missile. Mingo stepped up tonight, and Brown continued his run of form tonight. Toia looked solid. I'm encouraged by the two preseason game so far from a depth and competency standpoint.

 

[rambo2]

I don't know how they are going to pick the running backs. I really like Phil Mafah and Izzy. Davis is also solid and Blue can make plays. Whoever they cut they will want to keep on the practice squad.

 

[Catpappy]

Camden Brown is slow but has great hands. He looks like he runs with a limp.

I think Blue played decently, but not as well as last week. Kuntz I think did himself no favours in his attempt to make the 53. Shelton looks like a chicken without a head.
