CFZ My Observations From the Game

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Depends. If your injured and you refuse to sit, then you are to blame. If you cant bounce it outside because you are too slow, you are to blame.

You got proof that Zeke made the decision to keep playing, all by himself?

 

[links18]

He totally sucks. Why is he on the team? Denucci? Why is he on the team?

We like our guys?

Looks like A.Brown should be starting opposite of Diggs again this season. Joseph could then take Brown's spot, pushing Brown to slot, when teams go three wide.

got it......despite a missed assigmnent by an OL, a blown into the backfield OL, or a pure poor effort by an OL.

NO blocking is important. Especially when your a slow and limited back like Zeke. You depend completely on blocking as your not making anyone miss and your not a playmaker.

Thats why you dont draft backs high and you dont pay backs big money.

 

[CowboyRoy]

He has connections to McCarthy and he’s a Pittsburgh kid.

Again, I think this is all Jerry Jones. This is what Jerry does. Doesnt consider the backup QB to be very important and doesnt want anyone too young and good so as not to upset the current starter.

Oh I blame everyone. But if you are hurting the team and you need to rest you should be smart enough to sit out. After all, there is a perfectly good back sitting behind you that has pretty much outshined you every chance he has gotten. But maybe thats the issue right there.

That's on the coaches, not the player. No player worth his salt would take a seat on his own.

He is trying to be sly about getting a Zeke hate post in. In didn't work.

Have to go into a draft peg someone you think will be on the board rounds 3-5 and school him as your back up to 140 mill man . Hopefully # 4 doesn’t get a paper cut or a cold weeks 1-17 .

A smart one would. A team player would.

First and foremost, it's a waste of time to play DiNucci or Rush at this point in time, even in the preseason. I know Grier is a better player than both of these guys, but we'd be better served if he played in the next preseason game to see what we have out there.

Second, I really like our rookie tight ends. Both Hendershot and Ferguson.

Gallimore and Bohanna look like they have both put on weight. And I saw improvements in both, but especially Gallimore. He looks like a different player.

Stand out player. Doran Bland. Goodness. Get this guy on the field. He makes plays. He has great instincts, plays the ball great, covers better than I expected, and tackles well. Loves this pick so far. He looks like a natural out there. I feel more confident in him that I would Joseph right now, who I would say played better than Nashan Wright, so at least he's competing out there.

I thought Waletzko looked pretty good at LT, when I noticed him in there. He got some push on a run play, while Tyler whiffed his assignment and couldn't find anyone to block.

Basham played with really good instincts tonight. He made a case for himself, I think.

Fowler flashed why DQ likely brought him on.

Aaron Shampklin, to me, looks better than the rest of the backs. I think he brings more to the team as a 3rd back, because he can block, catch passes, run, etc. Smart player. I've liked him since I learned he was an UDFA. Great screen back. I liked Davis too. Dowdle was OK.. I think Shampklin likely gives you more on ST, because he can return punts and kicks.

I didn't notice Sam Williams do too much. In the Football Team preseason game, Barno looked legit coming off the edge. I wish I would have seen our guy flash like that. In any case, I have a hunch I was onto something with Barno. Obviously, I'm not giving up on Williams. He did have a nice bullrush move out there.

Safety play was atrocious tonight.

Brown looked solid at CB.

Storey Jackson showed some aggression and had a tackle for a loss.

Fehoko scored the only TD, on a really smart route, in coverage. Wasn't pretty. But he got it done.

Tolbert looked so so, but it's really hard to get too low on him because the QBs were putrid tonight, so it really ruined the enjoyment of the game.

The game, overall, was ugly. But I'm also well aware it was a preseason game.

Way too many penalties.

If we don't fix that, McCarthy should quit right now.

He needs to be a disciplinarian. Or this won't get done.

Thanks for the summary and, thanks for something other than the standard gloom and doomed observations.

Competitors aren't wired like that.

Competitors aren't wired like that.

Selfish players that want to hog the carries arent wired like that.

Zeke stole his girlfriend in third grade and used to take his lunch money in middle school. That's where all his hate comes from.

Turpin needs to bring a kick out of the end zone and not “ protect “ himself with fair catches . Let’s see some of that speed on returns .

 

[RonWashington]

I thought too Anger almost had a punt blocked . ST let’s tighten up let your punter boom these 60 yarders flip the field

 

[phildadon86]

I mean he did win the Minnesota game. But IMO if we play that game ten times against Minnesota we lose 9.

He doesn’t show any upside and is what he is. Josh Johnson looked like John Elway out there last night.

I guarantee you, our backup QB situation is likely the worst in the league … the same as swing tackle and kicker.

If amari doesn’t make the circus catch on the sideline we lose that game.

 

[basel90]

McCarthy will not get the job done . He is simply has not instilled any discipline in the team . Jerry did him no favors with the talent acquisition, but MM cannot coach .period .

 

[jazzcat22]

A lot of rookies and 2nd year players out there last night. No game plan. I will wait to see improvements the next game.
Especially the mental ones for penalties.
