OK, we'll focus solely on the battle for the Governor's Cup for the rest of the night. This is serious business, with the starters expected to play three quarters.
Superstar columnist Jean-Jacques Taylor is ahead of us. He posted his five to watch (Adam "Pacman" Jones, Tashard Choice, Bobby Carpenter, Martellus Bennett and Tony Romo) this morning.
Here are five more:
CB Mike Jenkins: Unlike the first two preseason games, the first-round pick won't start, with Pacman taking his place. But Jenkins will play left cornerback in the substitution packages. He had a rough night in Denver. Let's see how he bounces back.
WR Isaiah Stanback: With Miles Austin out, Stanback should get an opportunity to run routes for Tony Romo in four-receiver sets. While he's progressed as a receiver, Stanback's best chance to contribute this season is on special teams. He can extend his lead in the competition to be the primary kickoff returner.
LT Flozell Adams: Flo really doesn't have anything to prove, but he'll line up against one of the league's elite pass rushers. Flo vs. Mario Williams should be fun to watch.
RB Felix Jones: So far, pretty spectacular for the first-round pick. He's come close to three of his first 12 pro touches for TDs. Can he take one to the house in his Texas Stadium debut?
LB Zach Thomas: The Cowboys will let loose a little on defense tonight. That means Thomas, who has been the defense's best player so far this preseason, should come flying up the middle on a few blitzes.
