Game Day ***Cowboys vs Seahawks full game thread***

[john van brocklin]

He needs bigger stones. He's playing like a sissy.

The offseason or maybe during the week mazi should work on firing of the ball. That will help him with positioning.

Q: Not that I really want to see him play, but has Gallup just been handed the 3rd WR spot without showing anything in pre-season??? Only with this organization does that happen.

Don't they teach that in college?

Yes.

Yes, Pee Wee U.

Mazi is a rookie. I hope you didn't think he was going to be the next Charles Haley! He needs to to develop like all rookies do!

A first round pick should NEVER look like a 7th rounder at his position. That already doesn't bode well.

 

[JeffInDC]

To me, Mazi looks like a young player trying to break the habits he learned in college. He was strictly a 2-Gapper and is being asked to do new things. It takes time folks…

 

[Big D]

it's Preseason. I don't care about W or L. IT's about player evaluation.

QB: Meh
RB: Dowdle & Davis look good enough to take the #2/#3 spots. Carry 4 RBs?
WR: Tolbert. Anybody else playing?
TE: not much there
OL: Backups looking so-so to not good again.

DL: Mazi is a rookie. Still needs work. Sam Williams will be better
LB: Clark has shown good speed 2 weeks in a row. Overshown injury is worrisome
S: Bell made a couple of plays again the run
CB: better hope starters stay healthy. Bland got beat UGLY early in the game

K: Will be the weakest link all year IMO

the K is typically the highest scorer on a football team. It won't end well if ours is struggling.

Hasn’t Mike McCarthy said for three straight years, he places what happens in practice over what happens in PS games? These games mean zero except for guys on the bubble.

 

[heir]

Sorry if I missed it but any word on Overshown?

 

[stiletto]

Thank God he wasn’t a 1st rounder.

He's a rookie, it is OK if he looks like a 7th round guy.

 

[stilltheguru]

This is stupid. Nobody wants this guy to fail and to make that reach because of valid criticism is weak.

no answers for the little nicknames? I'm shocked. Shocked I tell ya

 

[freemanjc19]

Lets not forget this is Pre-season. The primary goal of pre-season games is to evaluate and develop players, especially rookies. Winning is secondary to ensuring players gain experience, understand the playbook, and integrate into the team.

You draft a guy in the first round, he'd better be ready to contribute in some way. He's getting pushed around by guys who aren't starters, and in some cases, won't be on rosters. Jag city.

Like all rookies, he is adjusting to the speed and complexity of Pro-Football. It's not as easy as you may think.

it was just a flat out terrible pick...plain and simple

 

[Cowboys5217]

Sorry if I missed it but any word on Overshown?

I think someone mentioned earlier that it was his left knee. No idea how severe.

 

[SoCalBoy]

He is a 1st rounder. He's shown 7th round talent so far.

We need to cut him just like we should have cut Jalen Tolbert last year

 

[jazzcat22]

Nothing lately.
just he walked off field, the took cart to locker room.

 

[Clove]

Dowdle takes the kick off to near the 30.

Go with it.
