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

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

"Absolutely, every player has their own pace of growth. Even legends had their initial hiccups. Let's give him time and see how he develops!"

 

[coogrfan]

Am I the only one who has seen enough of Will Grier for a lifetime?

 

[Gambit]

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.

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

Mazi will play maybe 15 snaps a game especially early in season. This is good for him to learn from.

1st and 10 Dallas

3 wides Deuce back, ply action pass CAUGHT DRUMMOND 1st down.

 

[Bagman]

I'm just very concerned by our QBs. Rush is a weak armed bus driver who doesn't excel at anything. And Grier.....wow, he sucks.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Brutal. They think it’s a torn ACL.

 

[JeffInDC]

Don't they teach that in college?

Depends on what techniques the DC is asking the specific player to play. If a NT’s job is to read-and-react, the DL coach may not be telling him the player to do that.

1st and 10

2 TE set - Grier quick pass to Fehoko loss of 2.

 

[Bobhaze]

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

Remember- the coaches are using about 5-10% of the playbook on purpose. The6 aren’t game planning. The6 don’t want to show their best plays, formations or in some cases even player strengths in ps.

The coaches know more about these players than we do. They want to win. Pre-season to this coach8ng staff is NOT about looking sharp. It’s about evaluating the margins of the roster. The preparation for the season opener is happening g at practice.

 

[SoCalBoy]

For five months been saying posters here will need to be patient with Mazi in year 1. We still got guys jumping off buildings.

Don't forget everyone talking about Smith are the same people who said we should have cut Jalen Tolbert last year

 

[heir]

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

Thanks. Yeah I know he got hurt. Was wondering if there was an update on the injury

[john van brocklin]

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…

Truth

Grier shotgun - quick pass to Schoonmaker, 2 yards short.

 

[lukin2006]

Doesn't even look like he's trying....

You missed the sarcasm…
