Game Day ****Pre-season Cowboys vs 49ers post game thread***

[Runwildboys]

I give us an honest A+

I was particularly impressed with Mike White. Excellent game.

Didn't anyone tell you? This is a Dallas Cowboys forum. You should check with someone who watches whatever sport your Mike White plays, for the correct forum.

 

[Bizwah]

go watch the replay, that was a pick 6 waiting to happen if the ball went where he was throwing

Really.

Looks like he was trying to hit Jarwin on the goal line. He appeared to be open. The Niner broadcast really didn't show a good angle though.

Even the Raiders scored a TD.

Which should tell you something, this is their regular season...lol

 

[Alexander]

I said from right after they signed him as some pumped him up and had him on the team. I will wait to see him play, but feel he is practice squad at best for now.

All of his mechanics are awful. I wouldn't even put him on the PS.

 

[Dre11]

Even the Raiders scored a TD.

And the Rams didn't, go figure. Welcome to preseason

 

[CWR]

I think Zeke would have made a difference. You would sure like to see that first drive end with a TD.

Agreed

White was supposed to be a product of a high-octane college offense but he had zero progressions and the game seemed way too fast for him. Rush still floats the ball. This is a zero win team if Dak went down. It's almost as if the FO just thinks Romo will come out of the booth if Dak got hurt. These guys can't play and there's zero help from the sidelines.

I don't see anyone complaining about not winning a preseason game.

The complaints are unprepared players, poor depth, lack of creativity, and players not developing.

Who the heck is complaining about a lack of creativity in the preseason?

You'd be stupid to be creative right now.

Prepare to be dazzled week 1.

All offseason I suspected the 49ers were better than we were and now we have confirmation.

Wrinkles. Elements.

If you're running this new high-octane offense, you install some of it and build from there. Training camp practices are public. This team opens their practices at The Star to anyone with $39. At some point, they're going to have to start actually running some of these new concepts/looks.

 

[Risen Star]

I have not seen the first half, but we hear that we are such a deep team... Yet our backups got their ***** kicked again. Sad.

If we can ever just hold serve in the 2nd half of these preseason games Will McClay may get his own statue.

We have amazing depth. It reminds me of those dynasty teams in the 90's.

Is this your first year watching the NFL? Because I don't know of a single team that does what you're advocating. You go vanilla in the preseason. You show them nothing. Most teams don't even gameplan for these games.

"Vanilla" is a watered down, base version of your offense. Not a whole other offense.

Tonight was last year's offense.

If you’re worried about running the same offense as last year.... I have bad news for you.

It’s going to be the same.

We will just be lucky if the team uses more pre snap motion and changes personnel packages more frequently to change their tendencies.

Been trying to tell this dude that all night.

Do you not follow the team, most of the changes are shifts and motions to the old offense, why in the h would they show any of that

 

[Risen Star]

Yeah I don't get why anyone would think they should show their offense in the preseason.

Got that. However, if all we are actually changing is shifts and motions, our predictability issues aren't going to be going away.

If you totally buy into that we're any more predictable than 80% of the league. Most teams run the same stuff, just window dress it differently. The Rams run the same stuff, they just dress it up.

 

[Floatyworm]

I think you can officially close the book on Mike White.

He can't play.

I will give you an honest evaluation next Wed...since I'm on vacation...and missed the game..but my guess is it is just like any pre season game late in the 3rd to 4th quarter...and the QBs has no protection...running for his life...and people want to make an evaluation off of that...plus I'm assuming Kellen didn't exactly empty the playbook...so we will see.
