Game Day ***Pre-season Cowboys vs Texans post game thread***

[Carson]

Reid looked much better than Ward I agree.

Lawrence
Gregory
Taco
Armstrong

Collins
Crawford
Woods
Reid
Price/Ward/Ross

That's 9, Crawford can slide to end of needed plus Irving might come back

Cannot disagree with this. Good stuff!

 

[cowboyec]

excited about our 1's.
nervous about our depth.
can't wait to see what this D will do.
excited about #4 and #21...together again.
JUST BRING IT

 

[Ranching]

Quiero and Olumbia looked good as well

Quiero cervezas

 

[Jchilly]

How durable is Dak?

Reid and Ross SHOULD make this team.

Wasn’t impressed with Price or Ward. Ward likely makes it, due to Rod liking him. Reid and Ross will likely take the final spot

Ealy could make the 53 depending on Tappers injury

Have you seen Ross play actual games? He’s terrible. Don’t let preseason fool you because he performed against backups.

a lot of stock is bought into pre season warriors. I think a lot of people forget how tough the NFL really is.

I just watched 8 quarters of our backups play.

Ross looks like Aaron Donald compared to half of the backups out there! I apologize lol

Im curious about DL Datone Jones.
if his knee checks ok...he should be one we keep...I thought he was one of our better DL.

 

[Them]

...Well...That was Special!...

 

[cowboyec]

I liked the pick of Schultz at the time.
but Im surprised at how unimpressed Ive been.
I thought he might flash but I didnt see it.
maybe its because our back-up OL didnt help the QBs any....maybe not.
Im not giving up on him but gotta admit....Im disappointed a lil.

Lenoir made my roster.

I'm not as sure about Rush. The offensive line, the running game and the receivers didn't help him at all, but he's got to know to throw that ball away and needed better ball placement.

Good to see Armstrong show back up, and saw some good things from Caraun Reid and Jihad Ward, too, but, of course, all three of them shined after the backups to the backups came in.

Mike White has got to learn to take a little off the short throws, but he sure can zip it. There's enough there to see if he can be developed.

I noticed on several plays Rico was blocking the left defensive end all by himself. I think Chaz Green was supposed to help, but he just kind of stood there bouncing because Gathers didn't need any help. Of course, Rico also had a few plays where he did the wrong thing so I don't know how the Cowboys feel about him.

Notice that these receivers -- Beasley, Hurns, Williams, Austin and Thompson -- didn't play, and with Gallup being a shoe-in, the only way Lenoir gets on the team is if we keep seven receivers.

I wonder if Jackson being the first back up means that he had passed Scarbrough. Not sure if he did that he'll remain ahead of him after a poor outing, though. Jackson was out there a lot on special teams, so it will be interesting to see what Dallas decides.

I haven't really noticed David Wells, but he had a few decent plays at tight end and might be worth keeping around on the practice squad.

The unnecessary roughness call on Lewis May have been the worst call I have ever seen

Was it on Lewis? I thought it was on the safety who had slowed down and then chose to hit the receiver anyway. There was nothing Lewis could have done differently. The safety could have pulled up once he saw the ball go off the receiver's hands IMO.

 

[Floatyworm]

Is there anything worthy to discuss?

Who do they keep

I just watched 8 quarters of our backups play.

Ross looks like Aaron Donald compared to half of the backups out there! I apologize lol

Ross was #68....and was getting his butt knocked to the ground on every play....

 

[Risen Star]

Well that may have been the sorriest preseason I've seen from this team. Just pathetic. They are more concerned with protection and safety than they are actually preparing for the season.

Defense looks okay. That offense is horrific. The depth is non-existent. Which is weird considering they have been a great drafting team for so many years.

 

[ksadler1]

Team didn't quit.

Did they ever start?...

 

[bark]

Just checking in to call dibs on starting the Chaz Green appreciation thread once cutdowns are announced

Lol I feel you but 68 stood out a lot in games I rewatched on YouTube.......in a bad way

 

[Carter]

Preseason shouldnt be overrated but the Cowboys didnt score a single TD in three straight games. That has to be concering. That means our Backups arent capable of putting up any Points if needed.

 

[ConstantReboot]

players might suck, but that's the playbook we will be using this year..

Playbook may suck. But there is no doubt, we will be using that same playbook this year.

Yes I'll say it again because everyone needs to know and hear it.

Sadly, that was Linehan likely using his entire playbook lol
