Game Day Dallas Cowboys at Las Vegas Raiders | Postgame Thread

[America's Cowboy]

I missed the game but it appears that Lance played well. Can’t wait to see how the Lance haters in the media and on the board spin this one.

Lance did ok in the 2nd half. Plated better than the 1st half. Still has a long way to go, but he made a few key pass plays downfield and he used his legs to move the sticks and eventually get into the endzone. 151 yards passing is less than last week's 188 passing yards, but Lance passed only 23 times tonight compared to 41 last week. Nice improvement. Still has much work to do but still is not good enough to supplant Cooper Rush for the QB2 spot. Just keep on improving at this point.

1) All Lance needs is snaps. Period. He was very good tonight vs plus depth chart competition. Got better with more throws, and very good wheels.

Put him in with the 1st String weapons and you have a 2016 Dak starter set.

2) Liafau and Guyton are studs.

3) LB's much improved

4) Aubrey may set the NFL record someday.

4) DB's. This is a nice, nice group of kids. All hustle and hit. Tough decisions there coming.

I wish them all the best of luck: I think many can play in this league.

If Lance plays well next week. He will be the 2nd qb.

I hope all the air you punched during the game cause Lance was playing well helps you sleep tonight, bro!

You have me all wrong if you think I’m pulling against him. You thinking he’s going to be winning a lot of football games for us this season and into the future is pretty hilarious. Lol

Al Harris has these young guys playing smart

If we aren't careful, we will be expecting a pick 6 every game.

 

[McMicah]

Man this secondary is going to be hard to cut down. They have serious options at CB like 5-6 deep

The LB position will likely be the most improved from last year and I’m not sure it will even be close

Already love what I see from Phillips and even Rogers at DT

Lance still needs a lot of experience and snaps but no one can deny he can do things Dak can’t. That’s kinda fun after 8 years of the same stuff

I really want them to give Deuce a whole quarter or something. Let the man cook.

It sounds like you're pulling for him, bro.

We believe you.

 

[AsthmaField]

similar trajectory as Dlaw who was also lacking in pass rush moves early on in his career.

Yeah… I do think Kneeland is better at locating the ball as a rookie than Lawrence was. Every time I watched Kneeland’s college play, it jumped out to me how he always seemed to locate the ball quickly.

Not that Tank couldn’t locate the ball, but Kneeland is exceptional, IMO.

A lot of his game is very similar to Tank’s though.

Give some thoughts on Deuce Vaughn.

I’m not like you I don’t pull against any of our players.

 

[lk8701]

He just needs reps!

 

[KJJ]

Give some thoughts on Deuce Vaughn.

He made some plays like he did last preseason.

 

[rambo2]

He made some plays like he did last preseason.

What was his yards per carry?

What can Lance do that Dak can't? Enlighten us...

 

[AsthmaField]

And Booth looked really good. Far better than I ever saw Wright look in Dallas. He is a very stout tackler and looked much better changing direction than Wright did.

That trade was a huge win for Dallas, I think.

 

[KJJ]

What was his yards per carry?

Go look it up.

 

[mmohican29]

Some of these players are making the cutdown decisions really difficult for the coaches. I think many of the guys we want on the practice squad aren't going to be available.

I agree. Especially @ DB.

I can't remember a preseason where the Cowboys had so many DB'S who flashed 100% NFL talent that deep on the depth chart.

 

[Patrick]

Deuce, Trey, and Booth had some real nice plays tonight.

Trey needs an opportunity with guys who can at least make a practice squad, he looked good after he settled in.

 

[rambo2]

Go look it up.

6.8 yards per carry. He has also looked good in camp. He is going to make the team.

According to Next Gen Stats, Aubrey's FG would have been good from 72 yards.

For historical context, here are the longest FGs ever made in regulation.

College Football - 69 yards
High School - 68 yards
NFL - 66 yards
UFL (Including USFL & XFL histories) - 64 Yards
CFL - 62 Yards

No other American or Canadian rules based leagues or levels has produce any 60 yard FGs.

Aubrey's kick tonight was the longest made FG kick as far as distance traveled in air in football history.
