That wasn't a defense. It was an escort service!

Rod Smith, couldn't start at RB at OSU.  5 career yards in the NFL.  Looks like Hershel Walker against our D.

I don't expect much in preseason players are being evaluated & many will be gone I see a vanilla Defense that sucks & players who need to learn to tackle& I see some good signs like most past preseasons young players on the D & O side of the ball , I liked Mack he impressed in an otherwise unimpressive boring meaningless game .

 

My concern is the regular season & i don't like Tolzien ..

Well let's just hope it is something. Either of us need to claim we are right on this season.

I haven't watched this game yet. It's on my DVR. "Escort Service" made me raise an eyebrow. 

 

You meant we couldn't stop Dallas's offense right? LOL! Sarcasm as a default position has it's moments of unintended, easter egg humor. Enough said.

Your reservations are well placed Adonis. Scott can't really hold down the fort in Luck's absence. 

 

Heal swiftly Andrew & get out there as soon as humanly possible or it's gonna be a L-O-N-G season.

I like mack but he needs help from the qb play otherwise teams will stack the box and force tolzien to beat them

We also still don't know the deal with AL so this is definitely a concern.

 

If he misses a month it's an automatic 0-4 and season is pretty much over at that point.

 

Agreed with your point also, nobody is going to respect our passing game and just play run every play.

Every rotation got run on.  Even with the Dallas second team line.  

 

People were worried we were going to have to cut some really good players.  I didn't see too many tonight.  

i concur

So, if a player is coached to protect the backside and doesn't do it, it's coaching? At what point are the players held accountable?

below average talent is what we have, thanks grigs

Are you talking about the players or the coaching staff or all of the above?

some of both

I'd say hold the pitchforks a minute!

 

The Cowboys have top shelf O-line players who know each other well, with high quality skill players, while the Colts are fielding an ever-changing patchwork of new players & kids in search of a starting lineup. 

 

Two teams in very different modes.
