Warning, nothing here but positive stuff. This post will be disappointing to chicken little's and pinheads who dont see the big picture.
1) Starting offense has looked outstanding all preseason. Romo, other than 1 or 2 throws has been ultra sharp. The offense is spreading the ball around more on pass plays, and the negative runs on early downs seem to be fewer. The short yardage run game seems more effective too. While the yds per carry isnt great, they arnt getting the 0's, -2's etc et that plagued them so much the past few yrs either.
2) Even with RW not in there, our WR's got open almost at will tonight, as they have all preseason. People wondered if our guys would be able to do anything, but it looks like our 5 of RW, Crayton, Hurd, Austin and Ogletree are gonna be solid. Ogletree has a very bright future in this league.
3) We have the best pair of TE's in football, and the 3rd guy has looked impressive too.
4) Felix Jones is a game changer.
5) Starting defense didnt have a ton of "wow" plays, but gave up very little as well. This despite looking incredibly vanilla to me in terms of the fronts/blitzes and coverages. Most of the blitzes they did run seemed effective though.
6) Backup OL looked pretty good tonight, and Free continued his strong play this preseason. He's starting to look like a potential future starter. Holland had a number of big blocks tonight. McQuistan has been solid.
7) ST had a quality night tonight, and the Buehler/McBriar duo is gonna make a HUGE difference in field position this yr. McBriar has really figured out the art of pinning people deep. And the Crayton/Newman tandem on punt returns looks pretty damn good to me.
9) Love our top-3 CB's. Love our top 4 LB's...Carpenter looks fine in the nickel role. Spencer had his best game of the preseason tonight. Hatcher and Bowen looked more active tonight.
10) The players that have performed the worst and have caused the most problems will clearly be cut.
