Good choice

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Duh! Like that is a hard choice. Not one starter would be dress in a uniform.

 

[817Gill]

Showed last year that he doesn’t need it, started off amazing. Even better this year is he’s fully participating in everything. These joint practices are dang near game reps for these guys as it’s full-go.

Hope it doesn't lead to another calf strain or some other muscle pull. Those things happen during games when you push your body to the limit that you simply can't duplicate during practice or training camp. It's important for that reason to get some live playing time during preseason.

i think he should play at least 2 possessions just for timing.

That's what the practices are for.

I never understood this reasoning. How does risking injury in preseason games avoid injury in regular season games?

Well, if you don't play , its harder to get injured. Maybe we should sit him all 17 games to preserve his health.

Your muscles have got to get used to the strain of playing full speed of the game when it counts. There is a difference between practice speed and game speed.

Practices and scrimmages aren't the same as games.

Never did like players not playing in at least some preseason games, never will.

We knew this. I hate when there first action is regular season. Gonna be a sloppy game. Hoping the bucs are the same.

this is a argument of why you dont start your franchise QB in a meaningless preseason game

Can’t he suffer those same injuries in a preseason
game. Most athletes can’t play half speed.

Note: Tony Romeo’s back fracture

The whole starting unit should play a quarter of this last preseason game.
Dak should come out command his offense show he can pass the ball with accuracy and efficiency show we can run the ball and exit with the confidence to succeed when we play Tampa Bay.

My goodness what are we afraid of I'm not saying expose players to some kind of crazy unnecessary risk but geez they can get hurt at any point in time.

That's starting unit more than anything else needs confidence that they can put together a couple PENALTY FREE!!!! Drives that end in touchdowns not field goals and prove to themselves and everyone else that the receivers they have are good enough to do the job and the offense of line is good enough to run behind and pass protect.


Test don't guess!!!!!

 

[J-man]

well dah

 

[LACowboysFan1]

Great, let's play scared, love it!

 

[Silly]

Since it is not a division game, they probably figure a victory doesn't matter all that much.

Won't be on the Bucs, 7-time SB winning, 23 year starting qb running the offense, SB championship team just 2 years ago.

IF there's any sloppiness, it will be on Dallas' part...

Note: Tony Romeo’s back fracture

Romo was already in his 30s and had a history of many injuries. His body was broken by 2016. Dak is not anywhere near there yet.
