Some Positives...

[Nav22]

- Pacman looked good. Not just on the punt return, but he looks like he's getting his timing back as a CB. He had a tremendous burst to the football when Patrick Ramsey released it a few times, and nearly had a pick-six.

- Felix! 4 touches, 44 yards... a play-maker.

- Zach looks like a great addition.

- Scandrick looks like he'll be a player.

- Kick coverage was much improved from last week. 25.3 average on kick returns, and only 5.0 on punt returns.

- Miles Austin with another nice outing (hopefully his knee's okay).

- Rodney Hannah... didn't see that one coming!

- Martellus Bennett's effort after his one reception.

- Keon Lattimore and Todd Lowber making plays. More Hard Knocks face-time for them.


Others?

Miles Austin looked really good before that knee injury

Brad Johnson definitely looked better

Felix Jones looked outstanding, he's going to be a tremendous addition to our offense

Adam Jones punt return was really nice

Rodney Hannah looks like a solid practice squad guy who could make this team next yr, though somebody might take him on their active roster this yr as a 3rd or 4th TE

Scandrick had a nice game, as did Oglesby

Martellus Bennett had a nice catch and run and a couple of good blocks

Folk automatic on fg's

Owens a couple good grabs

Watkins had a nice pick negated by stupid Alan Ball penalty

Nick Folk wasn't half bad either...

 

[dbair1967]

I'd add in another good effort from Spears...he's been the best DL in these two preseason games IMO

Nooo, you would think from some people on here he was a total bust...

 

[pugilist]

i'll go ahead and throw a not-so-popular person on there: Richard Bartel

-showed good poise as well as some decent mobility

-good accuracy and good decision making

-was able to drive the offense down to just outside the 10.. INT was all Lowber

solid practice squad guy still.. i see alot of upside with him

I will second that. IT was a shame they didnt score there in the end.

He showed he is one tough dude to. I loved his aggressiveness and his command of the huddle.

He's generally been mediocre.

When your 1st rounders are mediocre, that's a bust, IMO.

Huh, the guy has been a terrific run stopper and keep in mind in a classic 3-4 scheme defensive ends don't get much praise...

Let's not forget the blocked punt by Choice, except no one helped out by letting the punter gain like 20 yards.

I appreciate the positive feedback... anybody have any take on how our backup offensive linemen looked tonight?? Also, what happened on Bartel's int?? Was it a bad play on his part, a great defensive play, a mistake by the receiver??

I thought Proctor looked pretty good in relief of Gurode. The others need to pick it up on pass protection, but they did look good on run blocking. It's nice to see our OGs pulling to lead a sweep again. Thank you Hudson Houck.

I wasn't able to watch the game live and had heard from my wife that it was "ugly" so was really expecting the worst. To be honest, thought the team looked pretty good outside of all the stupid penalties. Got to get that cleaned up. Those really extended and/or stalled (depending which side of the ball we were on) three or four drives.

But from an individual standpoint, a lot of players looked good. Bennett even impressed me wrapping up the ball on that catch, finally listening to Garrett.

 

[Biggems]

we blocked a punt..........even though it bounced right back to the punter and he ran for a first.......at least we got pressure and blocked it.

I've been trying to remember when the last time we blocked a punt was. It seems like forever. Even though this one did not count it was a wild play.

Finally McBriar had a good game. It's been a while since he's done that, his rookie year he did it all the time.

??

By my rough count, he had like 11 games last season where he averaged 44-plus yards per punt. Had six games where he averaged 50-plus yards.

And he averaged 43 yards last week, compared to tonight's 47.

Plus, it was 2006, not his rookie year of 2004, when he set all kinds of punting records and made the Pro Bowl.

I disagree. He made a horrible decision to throw that INT. The receiver wasn't even close to being open and the ball is probably still intercepted at worst, knocked down at best if he continues the route that direction. If Bartel hadn't thrown it then, and waited a tiny bit longer, Lowber would have cleared the defender when he cut the other direction and been open for an easy first down and a good shot at the TD.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

The O-line was giving Romo ridiculous amount of time.
Thx Hudson.

The backup QBs seemed much better tonight.

Felix looked very good.

Pac-Man's kick return. Looking good.

Austin Miles looked sharp. Get well soon, Austin.
