It would be nice to win, but I'm not going to get to high or low based on 1 game.

What I'm really looking for:

1. I want to see Wilcox show signs that he is going to be a quality NFL Safety. They don't really have any legit options behind him, IMO.

2. I want to see Rolando McClain with his head in the game. I have no doubts about his physical ability as long as he's focused and in good physical condition. With Nick Hayden as the starting 1-tech DT, R. McClain is going to have to show up against the run.

3. I want to see Henry Melton look like he is completely healthy. I'm not too worried about his knee because he missed most of the preseason due to a groin injury, not the surgically repaired knee.

4. Can the other DLinemen get something going? Can the D-Ends generate a pass rush? Can the young DTs do something in their first real games?

5. What will Bruce Carter do on the Strong Side and in the Nickel defense?

6. What happens with the Nickel CB without Scandrick? I assume it's Moore.

7. Can the offense play up to their talent?

8. How will Martin look and can Fred and Leary take another step forward in their 2nd year as starters? Can Doug Free again be "good enough" without a veteran RG next to him?

9. Does Romo pop up after getting hit?

10. Who gets the most snaps between Escobar, Beasley and the FB?

11. I would like to see a couple of unexpected players WOW us. Maybe Escobar, Dunbar, anybody on defense...

I would like the D to get 2, maybe 3 turnovers and for the offense to score off those turnover. I don't have any stats, but I believed that we settled for alot of field goals off turnovers last year

Turnovers and stopping run should be D goal. Romo and co. just needs to do what they normally do. That should be enough.

Number 9 won't be answered cause our OL will dominate and Romo will have a clean jersey
