Game Day ***Cowboys vs Jaguars 2nd Half game thread***

[garyo1954]

And........DA NOOCH is on the field!

 

[EPL0c0]

48 looking good. Nice stop ..

the depth at LB is great this year. With or without Jaylon Smith, it's going to be one of the strengths on the defense. I hope Smith is willing to take a pay cut, but if he's traded, I hope they can get something decent

Im sure the teams that lost starters yesterday in a meaningless game might disagree.

My opinion is they should have started guys but it's about the same as what half the league did, including teams expected to be good and teams expecting to be bad.

Who lost their starters?

 

[Aviano90]

Cox getting a lot of playing time. Just gets him faster prepared to take over for Jaylon.

And when he make a nice tackle he doesn’t feel the need to celebrate.

 

[Hardline]

You do realize those are the only 2 TDs he's been able to manufacture in 3 preseason games, right?

I wonder what changed? Could it be the opponent?

He was specifically referring to this game.

 

[jazzcat22]

Like what? Their stellar play against Houston?

Their brilliance against Jacksonville? Their overwhelming dominance against Arizona? Great 11 on 11 play? 7 on 7?

Their great depth?

Just common sense of the entire off season. I should not need to explain it.

 

[Carson]

The final two quarters of the DiNucci era please

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Ha. It's cool. You're far from the biggest offender.

I generally don't insult people, and SeanLee50 probably wasn't the one I should have said anything to. Just the same old talk about something that was 100% expected given the leadup into the week. We knew all along they were holding 30 guys out. Jax wasn't. It's JV vs varsity.

 

[TheDuke]

Farniok is holding his own

I think he has all pre-season. I can't say the same for Brandon Knight who hasn't impressed me at all.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Wright and Joseph both show the ability to stay with receivers but both have also shown that they give up separation pretty easily...slight pushoffs and they fall off their coverage.

Something to work on in practice. Learn to flop when the WR pushes off and don't let up when the WR pushes off. Teachable moment for the CBs, both rookie and vets.

 

[Hardline]

HAte to admit...he looks good...against our useless scrubs.

I am fairly confident he would do damage to our starters.

 

[Direwolf63]

no.

I missed the 1st half cause I was playing golf. I put zero stock in preseason results, but this team was lucky to get to 6 wins last year. I see an improved defense, a decent offense predicated on a healthy oline and qb, coached by a so-so coaching staff and talent is stocked by the worst FO in the league.

I’ll go with 8-9, which might win this horrid division.

Thats about what I see

Defense will be better due to better coaching. Offense better because QB and o-line is healthy. At least for now.

That's enough to get from 6 to 9 wins. I don't see more than that though

 

[fivetwos]

Folks can laugh at Nooch all they like but the sad fact is he has more talent than Rush or Gilbert....but is far more raw. No preseason in his rookie year didn't help.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

That was a weird tackle by Cox. How did he get the guy to flip onto his head by hitting his feet?

He was already being tackled by another player?

 

[jazzcat22]

Great DiNucci pick coming up.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Who lost their starters?

Not a QB...but several position players.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Not a QB...but several position players.

Who?

 

[Direwolf63]

Just common sense of the entire off season. I should not need to explain it.

So you've got no evidence. That's fine.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Good luck, DiNucci! I haven't given up on you.

 

[Shane612]

is it concerning to anyone that the only two TDs for Lawrence this preseason came against the cowboys?
lol
