Zoners:

After watching two NFC rivals high octane offenses the past week...specifically Green Bay and New Orleans march up and down the field at will......I want to see our Cowboys offense do the same.......

Romo, Barber, Jones, Witten, Austin, Williams, Crayton, Bennett and soon to be DEZ.........WHY SHOULD WE EXPECT LESS?

NO MORE EXCUSES!

I would like to see that too. But I just want an injury free game more than anything with some crisp execution.

I hope the Texans play to win and we play it like a preseason game and beat them anyway.

They'd never admit they were game planning, but you know darn well they are
going to be testing the defense. I would expect them to also blitz Romo pretty good, testing the Oline.

I am looking for health and vanilla offense and defense.

Marching up and down the field in the preseason does not amount to a hill of beans.

I'll be watching how Gronkowski handles blitz pick-up. Last week he whiffed on a safety and almost got Romo killed.

I really don't care how we compare to other teams during the preseason. GB played like this in the preseason last year, and it didn't translate to a ton of offense in the regular season.

I wouldn't really expect much from tonight. I can't see us putting too much into either side of the ball, seeing as how we play Houston again in a month. Now, even if we stay pretty vanilla, I would still like to see us being successful, but if we're not, it's not really worth getting uptight about.

For me just seeing how the bubble guys do. I think making the team will be Brent, Lissemore (Pasqualoni favorite, plus a few DEs on last year of contract if I remember right), Church, McCann and Young:

I break the bubble down this way (keep any five guys below ... only 6 LBs and 3 WRs at the moment):

-Keep "potential" on your 53: B. Williams, Sicko, Gronkowski, J. Williams, Ogletree
-Keep "what-can-you-do-now position players" on your 53: Octavien, Watkins, Siavii, Hurd, Ogletree.
-Keep "special teamers" on your 53: Hurd, Octavien, Watkins, Gronkowski, J. Williams
-Keep one of the new TEs: Farr, Rucker or Pociask
-Keep RW (on my bubble)
-Keep McGee
-Keep Leon Williams (can't figure him out)

GB offense was ranked 6th overall for the 2009 regular season

Health is number one but they need to execute their base offense a little better. No mistakes from Romo.

Sean Lee and Victor Butler. They are the future.

And once again, watching to see how the young backups on the line fair.

what ?

Aaron Rogders - 4180 passing 30 tds 8 ints
rushing - 1885 yards
Scored 461 points (28.8/g), 3rd of 32 in the NFL
Takeaway/Giveaway Differential +24
11-5 record


Romo - 4483 yards 26 tds 9 ints
rushing 2100 yards
Scored 361 points (22.6/g), 14th of 32 in the NFL
Takeaway/Giveaway Differential +2
11-5

so the Cowboys are only 500 + yards ahead of them

I would like to see, just once at least, that the fans don't over react to every little thing that does or doesn't happen during a preseason game.

Are you disappointed? Yet another game coached by Wade where our team is completely unmotivated. This team will break our hearts again at the end of the year!!!!!
