Game Day Pre-season Cowboys vs Dolphins Second half game thread

[lostar2009]

What's going on????

 

[Sydla]

Word on Nacho?

No official word. Hurt heel.

He was on sidelines later in half though according to one guy.

 

[btcutter]

Dak's got a better arm than Tony. Better long ball.

 

[endersdragon]

Good enough for what? They can't win a SB if this defense doesn't get better at getting to the QB and forcing turnovers.

2 sacks and one takeaway this game alone isn't good enough for you? That comes out to 32 takeaways and 64 sacks if you extract that to the whole season. Yea that sounds horrible. I am not seeing what you are complaining about. Our first string offense is scoring basically every time they have the ball. Our defense has 3 takeaways in the first game and a half. And we have gotten a few sacks, are you sure you aren't watching last year's games?

Dak is unreal, let's see how he reacts with halftime adjustments. C'mon, Garrett, keep him in for a couple drives!

Wonder if Dak will start the 2nd half. So he can get that experience of coming out in the 2nd half to play, and with all, if any adjustments. Though not game planned to have any adjustments...lol...

Dak actually makes me look forward to life after Romo

Thanks

5 possessions for Dak, 5 scores (4 TDs/1 FG).

Unbelievable. I have no words for what I am seeing. Has any rookie in the history of preseason started this good?

 

[Clove]

Line dive kick is a touch back.

 

[waving monkey]

Must have missed the first half thread where I was praising a lot.

But what have I said that's wrong? Wilcox stinks and the pass rush is a problem. Got issues with that?

your over stating the lack of off season acquisitions

 

[jazzcat22]

300 yards of offense in 1st half....pretty dang good.

 

[ConstantReboot]

I can't stand these announcers. They talk too much. I wish they show more replays.

1st and 10 Miami -
Doughty under center 2 TET set - Doughty quick hitch gets 5.

I thought Dak played very well again. He had an incomplete to Butler for a TD and should have been a catch buy refs wanted to call OPI (which didn't happen)

The interception Butler didn't even try for the ball and glad refs actually called late hit. Thought Dak responded decent for a rookie even though it didn't count.

The incomplete to Whitehead could have been an interception but it looked like Dak thought Whitehead would continue across the field, so a miscommunication there.

Claiborne looks like the best DB on the field. He has been step for step with recievers and when out of position has recovered well to defend the pass. On the 4th and goal that he defended was a great play on the ball and hopes he continues to play well and stay healthy.......it's his first preseason in the NFL.

Jenkins had a sack last week and this week a sack fumble.....with only 1 week on the team. He looks like he is on a mission to make the team. He makes a few more plays he will earn that spot.

Jack Crawford has a non stop motor and because of that makes a play from time to time.

Thorton had a pass batted at line of scrimmage and gets push in the middle....so happy to upgrade over Hayden

T. McClain was held (which wasn't called) and should have had a tackle for a loss and a sack later.

Byron Jones made some nice plays on the ball.

Tackling is better but want improvement in 2nd half

Well technically it's 3 sacks in 6 quarters thus far which would work to 32 sacks over a season.

But hey if you want to think this team can get to the QB consistently, have at it.

At least you aren't having to watch the Dolphins feed. It's so bad.

2nd and 4

3 wides left - Dought changes play - Doughty draw is BUNDLED UP FOR NOTHING JENKINS.

[revospeed]

I want Deji to make the team.

Orlando

Go short at safety.
