The 3-4 defense is a great one when you have the right personnel and it is run correctly. I hope it works.

chumdawg · 08-13-2005, 08:57 PM

Here we go! I'm as happy as a leetle gurrlll...

Drbio · 08-13-2005, 09:14 PM

Warner looks good in the Cards white and red. I've always been a fan of his.

Cowpokes are a little tentative right now.

chumdawg · 08-13-2005, 09:18 PM

Just as an aside...the Cards's uniforms would look a whole lot tighter if their helmets were cardinal red.

Roy Williams is a mo-fo.

C'mon, boys. Let's get something done here. I'm looking forward to the first pass downfield.

Drbio · 08-13-2005, 09:32 PM

That Cowboys season tickets commercial featuring Rpy Williams was badass.

chumdawg · 08-13-2005, 09:36 PM

Seventy-two yards in the air, that last punt. McBriar can hit it, baby.

So can that kickoff artist for Phoenix.

Doc, how you getting the game down there? Do you get the Dallas channels?

Offense looks like death warmed up so far. But whatareyougonnado? I don't think they are aiming very high here.

chumdawg · 08-13-2005, 09:37 PM

Damn, Newman looks like a badass thus far.

Murphy3 · 08-13-2005, 09:44 PM

Bledsoe looks like crap. But, it's early.

chumdawg · 08-13-2005, 09:48 PM

Yeah, but Bledsoe hands off reeeallll good. That's gonna come in handy this year.

ames7 · 08-13-2005, 09:52 PM

Probably won't see much more of Bledsoe. Liking what we're seeing from Henry so far. And Terrence Newman looks great. Like the announcers said, much more confident than last year.

Also, did you see Julius come up limping a few plays ago? Man, that just strikes fear in my heart. Careful dude, it's just preseason. Although he's probably up to the 8-10 carries he's going to get tonight anyway.

Murphy3 · 08-13-2005, 09:56 PM

....no pressure whatsoever.

Drbio · 08-13-2005, 10:05 PM

Chum - it's on cable channel 14....all I know.

This is going to be another long year.

chumdawg · 08-13-2005, 10:07 PM

That's 78 in the air for McBriar. Maybe 76 or 77, but I think it was 78. Amazing. Good job covering it. Wow.

ames7 · 08-13-2005, 10:08 PM

Well, at least we can say Mat McBriar looks great. Apparently we're going to be getting a lot of use out of him.

ocelot_ark · 08-13-2005, 10:08 PM

Vertical passing much?

Give it time, Doc. Give it time. There is no semblance of a game plan here. Just a little jaunt to the desert to take a look at some guys.

This team wins ten games. Minimum.

Nice pass just there by Romo. Hmm. What do with Henson if he doesn't perform? We all know that Vinny is getting one of the QB spots.

Drbio · 08-13-2005, 10:27 PM

Romo looks really good.

chumdawg · 08-13-2005, 11:02 PM

Go ahead and mark it. I'm not the least bit surprised if Torrin Tucker doesn't make this team. He is a big, overgrown kid. I've seen him; I know that. (Gurode is, too, by the way.) I don't think he has what it what it takes to be a pro ball player on a serious team.

ames7 · 08-13-2005, 11:04 PM

Third & 50. Don't see that everyday.

LordOfTheMavs · 08-14-2005, 12:45 AM

Well we found out one thing. Torrin Tucker is not making this team.

Romo looked good. At least he knows how to get it to his tight end.

Newman made some plays and Henry looks like he could be really solid.

dirno2000 · 08-14-2005, 12:53 AM

-Demarcus Ware looked tentative, especially when going against big Leonard Davis. Maybe he was nervous but he's going to have to up his intensity if he wants to live up to his potential. He did have one nice play with about two minutes left in the 3rd…he just ran through the LT and chased McCowan all the way across the field.

-Our tackles look horrible. Julius Jones tweaked his knee because Petiti was shoved back into him while JJ was trying to make a cut. There was a couple of plays where Vollers blocked down on the tackle while the end just ran into the backfield unabated...the most crucial was on that last sack. I have a feeling RT is going to plague us all season.

-I'm convinced that Fitzgerald trapped that touchdown pass.

-Crowder looks like he's going to be hard to cut

ames7 · 08-14-2005, 01:59 AM

I thought Romo looked pretty good, & I also thought Henson didn't look nearly as bad as I was expecting, based on what we've heard out of camp.

I really liked Tyson Thomson, even though we only saw him against third-stringers. Dude is fast.

McBriar, Crowder, Newman & Henry all stood out & of course, Witten was his usual awesome self. All in all, this preseason game wasn't nearly as painful to watch (except for all the penalties) as some of the ones we've had in recent years. I saw some reason to hope.

dalmations202 · 08-14-2005, 01:28 PM

Somehow I bet they are scouring the wires today, looking for a right tackle. In general, they were all awful yesterday.

dirno2000 · 08-14-2005, 01:58 PM

They're not going to find a tackle on the wire on the street that's better than what they have in camp now. Tony Sporano is just going to have to coach his guys up. He campaigned for the job this summer, now it's time for him to prove his value over George Warhop.

dalmations202 · 08-14-2005, 05:08 PM

this may be true, but I got tired of seeing the right tackle driven back to the RB and QB 3 yards behind the LOS, or someone just run around the tackle, and him get grabbed.

That was a pathetic display.
