Cowboys first team impresses in preseason loss to Vikings

[Bungarian]

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys may have fallen 28-14 to the Minnesota Vikings at AT&T Stadium, but the first team showed Saturday they were ready for the games that count.

Quarterback Tony Romo completed five passes on eight attempts for 88 yards and two touchdowns to earn a 139.6 passer rating. Second-round defensive end Randy Gregory got his third preseason sack with the first-teamers, and cornerback Brandon Carr intercepted a Shaun Hill pass. The first team left the game with a 14-10 lead.

"It was good," tight end Jason Witten said. "We knew coming into tonight that we were going to get to play more and really wanted to set our identity of what our football team offensively. I thought we didn't play fast, but we picked it up and put two good drives together."

I think we are ready. Except special teams. Maybe this is where the value of Harris will be felt the most. On coverage.

Backup QB and special teams are both brutal. Solid first stringers but after that.....SO thin

Ironically it's Dwayne Harris who may be the first to expose our ST in the regular season.

There is literally no reason to worry about special teams in the preseason.
