OXNARD, Calif. – Just a little clearing of the notebook here in Oxnard following Friday’s 19-17 loss to the Raiders in the second preseason game.
-- In the amount of snaps that DeMarcus Ware played the other night, he was very productive but the best player on the field for the Cowboys defense was Sean Lee. If there is concern of how he would bounce back from his injury he suffered last season, well put those thoughts to rest. Lee was in midseason form with his reads, adjustments and the manner in which he attacked the ball.
The Raiders offensive line does not touch him the entire opportunity he was in the game and his blitz that caused the first turnover of the game was textbook. His quickness and agility was outstanding but the physical way in which he finished the play was even better.
-- Jason Hatcher continues to impress me in the way he is going about his business in this camp and in the way he played in this game. I honestly had my doubts about Hatcher and would he be able to handle a steady diet of playing in this scheme but he has proven my concerns to be unfounded.
He not only has played with tremendous quickness and agility but his power has shown to be better as well. I worried about him getting off blocks consistently but now that he doesn't have to two gap blockers and he can attack the gap, it’s a much better fit for him. He has also shown the ability to understand what Rod Marinelli is asked him to do technique wise. He is better with his hands and you really see it when he rushes the passer.

Scout's Eye: Chemistry Good Between Romo & Receivers
Observations from the film room in Oxnard:
- Was not one bit surprised how Dez Bryant and Miles Austin played in this game last Friday. It was their first game action of the season and both were on point with their routes along with the ability to secure the ball. Austin did most of his damage from the slot, while Bryant made an outstanding adjustment on a slant, when Tracy Porter jumped the route and he was able to work behind Porter up the field. Romo seeing how the play was developing, was able to pull the ball down, reload and get it down the field to Bryant for the 26 yard gain. In visiting with Bryant after the game, he saw Porter all the way and the depth in which he was playing so he knew something was going to happen and was just happy that Romo was able to make the adjustment as well.
- It was the first start of the season for Mackenzy Bernadeau at right guard and despite all the speculation that is floating around his job status and the position, it was a positive start to the campaign. Bernadeau worked well with Doug Free but more importantly he worked well with Travis Frederick and that was something I was concerned about. The majority of the night he had a man on his nose run and pass but showed solid technique but nice power as well. He was not late or lazy with his backside blocks nor did he play overextended in his pass protection which tends to be a problem for him at times. He was able to pass stunts with Free and was out of position or off balance when doing so. He didn't play winded or rusty as one might expect. His reactions to what was going on around him were good and there appeared to be no mental busts or errors.
- Safety J.J. Wilcox has tremendous talent and once he learns how to play this game, he could become a special player. His toughness and his willingness to tackle, is a trait that is born within him that can't be taught. I am truly starting to believe that the ball finds a way to him.
