With two pre-season games down, it's times for "things I think I think."
I attempt to infuse my writing with facts, statistics, and direct, film-based analysis. Then again, sometimes I just have impressions and opinions. As we reach the halfway point of the preseason, here are ten ideas I have about the 2015 Cowboys.
I am actually a little relieved the injury shoe has finally dropped. Dallas had been ridiculously safe from serious injury thus far, and I was beginning to get nervous about who would become the first victim. From a personal perspective, I am really upset. Oscar the Grouch is one of my favorite players, both because he is often underrated and because he has a particular version of swagger that I like. It's not talk with him, it's infused in his entire body. The team will miss his fire.
Orlando Scandrick
But if you were to tell me "you're going to lose the best player on your team at one position, pick the position," I would've picked CB. Not only there is the least drop off to the back up, but I honestly think there is the least drop off from 1st to 6th in that position. Scandrick was the best, no question. Carr's probably second. Claiborne, Patmon, White, Jones...? who you got? They have all had great off-seasons and I am honestly comfortable with any of those guys on the field.
Davon Coleman
He has played both 1-tech and 3-tech, the former with the first team players. He's shown strength, quickness, and push. He's been a factor in many of the sacks we've seen. I don't think he'll be on the practice squad this year and he has made me pretty much forget about Terrell McClain during his injury time. More on this in another piece (with pictures).
