I'm glad most key starters are sitting out, young guys need reps and I don't trust the cheap shot rams

And now Lee and Scandrick are also out - as they probably should be..
Looks like we will get a very strong look at the bottom feeders of the 90 man roster. Not that unusual for a first preseason game, but we have a ton of top players coming off injury that might could benefit from a series or two.

Yeah I agree.

Parcells used to say you start the season with the top third of your roster but you could very well end it with the bottom third.

I have to walk you through that? He was recovering from back surgery. All healthy starters will play a series or two tonight as they do every year in game 1 of the preseason.

Then they'll play a little more in game 2. Then, wait for it, they'll play about a half in game 3 and won't play at all the 4th game.

Write it down and you're welcome.
Damn straight boys and girls!!!

Risen dropping truth bombs on the ignorant and the homers again!

Cowboys' Tony Romo: Won't play Saturday
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Romo (collarbone) won't take the field for Saturday's preseason game at Los Angeles, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Romo's prescribed preseason reps mimic his practice schedule, but for good reason. There's little reason to introduce contact with a month remaining before Week 1 of the regular season. Expect Romo to make a brief appearance during the second and/or third preseason games in order to fit in a semblance of reps with the first-team offense

Yes please walk us all through it and act like we are morons for even questioning it as a possibility.

It's very unusual for your starters not to play a series or two. Look around the league. Starters play at least briefly. But this team is so poorly mismanaged that it isn't surprising here.

Country Club Cowboys.

No its not unusual for established veteran players, especially in skill positions to not play in the first preseason game. Try again.

Do you remember routine "vet days" during his camps? I do not. It just sprung up this year as if it's always been around. 3 or 4 players off one day, another 3 or 4 the next day.

It is certainly not being run like an "iron against iron" camp.

There is a clear upper layer of untouchables on this roster and they have status.

It just bothers me when teams have limited practice opportunities now versus the past.

If I were running a team, no healthy vet misses a padded practice.

If I could give Randy Moss one piece of advice it would be to yell louder.

Nothing like taking a selfie with a player that could have changed your franchise yet you took Greg Ellis.

They won't even let him practice, why would they let him play in a game?

They're protecting him like some fine china that's been glued back together and hasn't completely dried yet.
