You can't judge anything from the NFL preseason other than how your back-up player stack up to another teams. Until you have mostly starters in there, you don't know what you got. Mukuamu looks great. Lets see him do it against an NFL starting QB and WR.

that is not the point.
The coaches want to see if the players are lining up correctly. Making their assignments correctly. It doesn't matter who they are going against. Yes, at that point it seems the better players wins.
However, for any player no matter what string. Do your assignment correctly and you win against your opponent.
That is what the coaches are looking for.

What is he saying that isn't true. How is that slurping kool-aid. Take it for what it is worth and comment about football instead.

The only item he wrote that seems to contradict all of tue other reports from TC and preseason games is his suggestion that Josh Ball has improved and is showing he can be the swing T. All other reports, including those made by otjer dallascowboys.com writers suggest otherwise.

He lost all credibility when he said how much Ball was improving. Clearly this was just a feel good puff piece.
That Josh ball was improving. He sucked again. This was definitely a slurp piece.

What broadcast did you watch from the LAC game?
The Dallas announcers said that the 1st pre-season game was Ball's 1st true action since early in the 2020 college season. Almost 2 years of not playing a game.

I will give him another game to see. Yes I agree he has not shown much. But I will take Mickey's word since he is around the team and coaches EVERY DAY.
You guys only have opinions as I do. You base it on that you don't like Mickey, because he brings a positive feel, as to your negative ways against him.

If they can upgrade over him, yes do it. But until then we may see some progress.

You dont have to take Mickeys word. You can just watch both games. Ball is getting beat left and right. He sucks.

Anyone on the payroll or dependent on staying in Booger's good graces can spin.

That said, there is nothing wrong with having a positive slant with no evidence to the contrary. Few saw a 12 win season coming last year.

i watched the nfl network feed. i’ve also read analyses from very credible sources such as Bob Sturm. I wouldn’t suggest giving up on Ball, but he’s done nothing so far that shows he’s ready to step in if Smith or Steele go down.

I am not saying he is to that point. I am saying he needs more time. Bob Sturm, come on, he is off on players as much as Broaddus.
And he is a GB Packers fan at that. :laugh:

CD will be doubled and they will have a loaded run box. Akiem Hicks, whom Dallas should have signed, and Vita Vea will be tough up the middle. We will see what these kids can do real fast.

He's employed by the Dallas Cowboys. It's not his job to be objective.
I suppose you are correct it isn't his job to be objective. It is his job to hype the team no matter what. I guess I have just reached a point where I am not interested in listening to someone who has a clear agenda no original thought or objectivity. If that is what you are looking for than be my guest.

No one slurps up the Koolaid quite like the Jerry Jones mouthpiece himself. Mickey is the least objective writer on the face of the planet.
Yup. I stopped reading his articles a few years ago. Just ridiculous IMO
