Three Down, One To Go
With preseason coming to an end this weekend, I found myself asking what have we learned from these exhibition games? After all isn’t that what preseason is all about? Of course, Cowboys fans what a win every game no matter what, but when it comes to preseason its more about seeing how the backups handle their roles, and learning who should stay and who should go. Most would agree, the starters have looked amazing. Training [...]

Cowboys Fall To Niners 20-13; Mike Hamlin Breaks Wrist
Thanks to a second half surge by San Francisco and some bad decisions and penalties by the Cowboys, the Niners walked away from Cowboys Stadium with a convincing 20-13 win last night. The Cowboys had this game in their hands, but the defense couldn’t hold back the hard charging second stringers who pushed through the Dallas defensive line as if they weren’t there. The Cowboys were up 10-3 at halftime, but were outscored 17-3 in the second half. [...]

Roy Williams Listed As Day-To-Day
Several sources are reporting that Roy Williams is listed as day-to-day and should return soon. The reports say Williams has a contusion (bruise) on his left shoulder. Dallas News has this quote from Jerry Jones during his radio appearance this morning: “I’m not implying that we have a long-winded thing here,” said Jerry, who stated that the Cowboys will not consider signing a veteran receiver. “Based on our review here, we’re talking about a very short timespan. I [...]

UPDATE – Conflicting Reports on Roy Williams Shoulder Injury
It is being reported by ProFootballTalk.com that Roy Williams broke his collarbone during practice tonight. The injury occurred when Williams and Orlando Scandrick collided with each other without shoulder pads. Usually a broken collarbone requires six to eight weeks to heal. This is only speculation as other reports are saying that x-rays were negative on Roy Williams’ shoulder. Will keep watching for updates. Let’s hope it’s not true. UPDATE – ProFootballTalk.com is now saying that [...]

More fun from Tashard Choice featuring Marcus Spears
Here is the latest video from Tashard Choice. Can not decide if it’s the video that is funny or it’s the laughing from the other players that makes me laugh more.

Romo Continues To Learn and Get Better
Tony Romo is about to start his third full season as the Cowboys quarterback. Romo has been praised since day one back in 2006 when he took over for Drew Bledsoe. He was put on top of the world as the QB of America’s team. But those same media people who praised him and ran him up the QB ladder are the same people who knock him every chance they get. Romo’s not a leader, [...]

Follow Up On Jason Williams; And Romo’s Hot Seat?
-Last week I did a piece “Know Your Cowboy” on Jason Williams, the rookie Linebacker from Western Illinois. It was something just to help the casual fan learn a bit on one of our up and coming players. Like most rookies the transition from college to pro takes time so Jason struggled in training camp and in the first preseason game against the Raiders. Coach Wade Phillips attributes the slow start to “because he was [...]

Preston was released by Green Bay on Tuesday after being with the team since March. The veteran could provide depth to the O-line as he can play center, tackle and guard. Preston spent the last four years with Buffalo. Possibly one of the [...]

Only In Dallas Does A Video Board Get So Much Attention
Almost every Cowboys fan knew when it happened that it would become the hot topic of the week. As soon as the ball thumped the very bottom of the video board I told my friend, “oh no, here we go! The media is going to go crazy over this.” That’s fine. It’s better than previous topics, I suppose. The team is now working with the league trying to establish the height of the video board and [...]

Cowboy Tidbits
Fullback Deon Anderson could find himself jobless. Currently he is on the injured list after having arthroscopic knee surgery but is expected to be back in uniform by opening day. However his backup Julius Crosslin has been doing a good job filling in for Anderson. The Cowboys are not expected to keep more than one fullback on the roster because they plan on using more two tight end formations. If Crosslin continues to impress, Anderson [...]
