Honestly there are 12 guys on this roster I'd cut right now

[Blackspider214]

Unbelievable .... isn't it? We've got 3 more weeks. And even then, it doesn't count until Sept 7th.

How many times have people said that the past 2 decades?? It's the same junk season after season. Yet for some reason, even with the writing on the wall, some people want to make themselves believe it will be different once a real game happens.

 

[cowboyblue22]

I think it going tobe a long long season for fans of the dallas cowboys

 

[burmafrd]

I think a lot of our games are going to go down to who has the ball last.

 

[Bungarian]

A lot of those guys will be cut but not until after camp. You have to have enough players to practice.

I gotta admit I fell for it again. Thought we had made some smart decisions in the off-season. Felt like this was the first time this was completely Garrett's team...and we would see progress.

Boy was I wrong.

This thing has regressed...badly

I think we are gonna wish we were 8-7 and a chance for the playoffs

 

[NJ22]

Look at individuals. Preseason is beyond meaningless when you look at wins and losses. There are plenty of concerns but to mention the loss hurts your credibility.

No way to tell that from the first preseason game. I am not saying you are wrong. Just to early to early to tell.

Well for me .... I like football ... the Cowboys are my team, and it is what it is. Preseason, working and weeding guys out and getting ready for opening day. That's what football is about. It's not that serious. It's fun until its not fun.

I wouldn't even let them get back on the train to Oxnard. I have a hard time believing this is the best the front office can find. Would certainly be turning the roster today

Aladenoye, Josh offenisive tackle was just abysmal last night.....there has to be a vet T out there better than this
Benford, Tim JAG
Bishop, Ken.......Has been a Cowboyzone favorite...Was nothing but a speed bump last night
Hanie, Caleb.....Was a deer in the headlights. Shocking to see from a 6 year vet
Heath, Jeff....a ton of missed tackles...but caused 1 fumble will get him more looks
Johnson, Matt.....Has he been glued back together yet?
Jones, Chris.....JAG w/ no hangtime
Lindsey, Corey...made it just in time to get toasted for 70 yard TD
Malena, Ben.....we are set @ RB. Just wasting a roster spot
Sapp, Dontavis....Might be the skinniest lber in recent memory
Smith, Ryan....Was horrible in the BCS championship...and the trend continued
Webb, B.W..... Another kid I had high hopes for thinking a year in the league would help...still just as clueless

All this talk about how well some of these guys were playing in camp like a Davon Coleman, Terrance Mitchell, Martez Wilson and Anthony Hitchens aren't far behind.

I'm really starting to have my doubts about players like Jeremy Mincey, Terrell McClain and Ben Bass...that we have been sold another lemon by the good old car salesman Jerry.

So disappointed in the 1st preseason loss. 27-7.

And let's not sugar coat this........It should have been 37-7....and maybe even worse if a couple of those interceptions hadn't been dropped that would have been pick 6's

It's one thing to get beat...but this team was once again not ready to play. Poor coaching decisions..(passing the ball on 3rd and 1 and 3rd and 2) Poor tackling. Defense can't get off blocks.

It just blows my mind that this team looked so poor....knowing what it's problems were...yet we looked worse than last season

Poor coaching? Preseason games are for evaluation, not so much to win. 75% of the guys you saw on defense will never see a regular season game.

 

[BrassCowboy]

you know it is getting bad when we analyze the first preseason game this closely. Come on seriously, it is 1st preseason game in which barely anyone on the field represents what we put on the field in the regular season.

totally meaningless game

 

[CATCH17]

Float, Why do you think so many of us think we will go 6-10?

What exactly are you expecting from this defense? It's going to be bad.

 

[Floatyworm]

Yeah....poor coaching. Why put a defensive player in a position that he is not suited to play if your not going to use him that way in the regular season? There were many circumstances in last nights game were that happened. Your doing a disservice to the player. I think a lot of the DEs have a gripe this morning being forced to play DT. That is some serious bad tape for the rest of the league to see.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

20 seasons. 20 seasons. 20 seasons. 20 seasons

And today is new day. Tomorrow is a new day.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

I think a lot of our games are going to go down to who has the ball last.

I think the offense will have to bludgeon opposing defenses into submission in the 1st half so the Cowboys defense at least has the opportunity to preserve a lead.

 

[Floatyworm]

Float, Why do you think so many of us think we will go 6-10?

What exactly are you expecting from this defense? It's going to be bad.

I had us going 6-10 because of the schedule.......it's brutal. But I thought we would @ least be able to put up a fight. Last night was just a punch in the gut. I can take a loss as long as it's competitive. But come on......last night was unacceptable.

As for what did I expect from our D? Strength in numbers. We may not have a bunch of stars...but you wouldn't see a huge drop off when we substituted.

Only problem w/ that idea is.....You gotta have guys that can play.

From the 2nd quarter on...I didn't see a whole lot I'd wanna keep.

 

[RS12]

Only 12?

 

[conner01]

Only 12?

its gonna be a lot more than 12. but picking guys off the bottom of the roster is a bit too easy. they are'nt gonna make the team for the most part anyways and thats not why most are even here. most of those guys are camp fodder which you have to have

 

[erod]

The Super Bowl teams in the 90s always looked like crap in the preseason.

Football fans never learn. Preseason means absolutely nothing.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Cowboys looked bad last night and I agree that it was just a pre-season game and I agree that we were missing a lot of key guys but the problem with this team over the last several seasons has been depth. I didn't see anything that made me believe we are closer to solving that problem last night.

On a positive note, Vaughn looks like a guy that might be able to turn into something. Way early to tell but he's a guy that is going to have a job somewhere, if not here, I think.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

I think I could look at any team's roster right now and easily spot 12 players I would cut right now. But, that is pointless. You are looking for players with potential, players who show a little something. Is there something there to develop? Is there something there to continue practice reps? A lot of these players aren't being evaluated as if they will be starting 3 weeks from now but as if they will be playing a year or so later. Sure, some get thrust into action due to injuries a lot earlier than you would like, but that is the nature of the beast.
