Game Day ***Cowboys vs Raiders Game Thread***

[BigWillie]

I'll defend him.

He is a rookie.

He is struggling.

A lot of rookies do.

Struggles are one thing. Showing little redeeming qualities are another.

Even the best players struggle. But playing soft, showing unwillingness to tackle, showing tepidness to field a punt and then muffing a punt? C'mon now.

You give rookies all the rope they can and let them hang themselves. And in 2 games so far, Webb has made the noose and tied it around his own neck.

he's a rookie, you expected what in his second NFL preseason game, an all pro player

Same as I said above. Show me SOMETHING. Anything. I don't expect greatness. But I don't expect an NFL Europe type performance, either.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Boring game...BW Webb with a choke job of a game. Couldn't tackle worth a damn all game long and then couldn't even field a punt. His roster spot will be safe though

 

[Staubacher]

Goat - Webb

Romo and Orton solid. Most starters were solid.

Beasley and Wilcox w good games

Penalties in red zone were killer

Special teams lost this game

 

[TheCowboy]

Such a sloppy game. Everyone outside of the 1st stringers did awful I thought.

 

[Mactin]

Well...you win some you lose some.

 

[kevm3]

Wilcox looked better this game than he did last. Webb better show something next game, because he got attention in all the wrong ways this game. I was very impressed with Orton... Stephens looks sharp and looks like he'll be taking that 3rd qb role. On the runningback competition, Dunbar pulled ahead today. Beasley redeemed himself. O-Line looked solid.

Still don't see us carrying 3 qbs.

 

[StarMan2112]

Webb was awful. Why do we continue to draft corners who won't tackle?

I agree that he showed nothing at all tonight. However, I've seen other players have abysmal choke job games before and still be decent players, so I'm not ready to write him off, yet. Hopefully he'll look better next week.

Less than 1% chance we carry 3 QBs. Simply no need for it. And we don't have anyone worth developing.

And whoever said Stephens looked good is blind. The guy was terrible. Like, he couldn't walk on to a division I-AA college team level of bad.

 

[Bizwah]

Good three:
Sean Lee
Dez Bryant
RBs

Bad three:
BW Webb...I like the guy. But he cost us big tonight.
David Arkin...totally ran over on the blocked fg
Raider's announcers....how irritating.

 

[Picksix]

Everyone?

 

[black label]

Everyone?

get any green slime off this team

 

[Deep_South]

On the plus side, the Boys kept them out of the end zone with the exception of one terrific throw and catch for a TD by the Raiders.

Dez Bryant

Arkin wasn't run over. His guy got some push, but he wasn't the one who blocked it. The other two, spot on. Those announcers drove me nuts.

 

[Muhast]

All I can think of is "Activate". I didn't count, but the commentators for the Raiders had to have said it 40 times tonight

 

[Gameover]

Good three:
Sean Lee
Dez Bryant
RBs

Bad three:
BW Webb...I like the guy. But he cost us big tonight.
David Arkin...totally ran over on the blocked fg
Raider's announcers....how irritating.

Orton?

 

[Picksix]

Any word on Beasley?

 

[Gemini Dolly]

Any word on Beasley?

Luckily, none of the players on the Cowboys care what you expect.

Its 2 preseason games into his career.. give it a rest for a little.
