Still, Travis Henry is going to be a dark horse in all the Fantasy Football Leagues.
But, the Cowboys did look good . . . although I was concerned with Romo's mechanics in today's game.
and the Cowboys made the Broncos their on both sides of the ball. The Bronco O line was so porous that Travis Henry fumbled the handoff due to sheer panic.
That is all.

He didn't look as comfortable for this game.
I hope it isn't a sign of things to come.
I hope we don't regret passing on Quinn.
The Cowboys picked up Spencer, who looks like he'll be a damn good player in this league, and the Browns' 2008 1st for Quinn. I don't think Quinn will be anything special in the league, probably a serviceable starting QB at best. Even if Quinn turns out to be better than serviceable, the Cowboys will probably have two very good or even great players in Spencer and the 1st rounder next year.
Romo looked fine to me in this game. The int. was completely on Austin for stumbling out of his break and not getting to the spot - the throw was fine. The only two glaring mistakes by the 1st team O were made by what will likely be the 4th and 5th or 6th receivers.
I thought it was another very good outing in the quest for consistency with the 1st team, especially against a good D and pretty good O. They made Cutler look like a rookie again by getting pressure and taking away his go-to routes.
They also embarrased the Broncos running game that seems to be great every year. They just need to bring that sort of effort and performance on a game by game basis to really be something special.
Quinn will be a great quarterback. And, we're going to draft McFaden with that pick, Jones has already hinted to it. Running backs don't have the same life expectancy that quarterbacks do.
Really, would you give up on Payton Manning comming out of college for DT with potential?? If you say yes, then I don't know what to say to you.
I'm not saying that I'm not happy with Spenser, because I am. I just hate the thought of passing on a franchise quarterback.
Please don't compare Brady Quinn to Peyton Manning. Don't do that. Quinn looked good against the people who won't even make the Lions' roster. I've seen him play extensively as a Notre Dame fan (#2 after Texas), and I don't see superstar in this kid. He'll be better than Tim Couch, but no superstar. I even think the chances that he busts due to his lack of for ude will be fairly high. You look at it from the Cowboy's perspective on draft day - you don't pass up a great piece for your D and a future #1 for a kid that's iffy at best. There's a reason so many teams passed on Quinn. He's a far longshot to come close to Peyton Manning and very much closer to being Ryan Leaf.
I just heard that Ekuban tore his achilles in the game - that really sucks for the Broncos. I was hoping both teams would clear the game healthy, but this bull hit Ekuban and Travis Henry to a much, much lesser extent.
If you saw him extensively as a Notre Dame fan, as you say, then you probably weren't paying close attention. Brady put up some great numbers, but he couldn't do it all by himself. The Dame Defense just wasn't any good, which is why Weiss has hired a new D Coordinator.
By the way, what was the knock on Manning comming out of college . . . "He puts up good numbers but he chokes under pressure."
That followed him into the NFL until he finally got that monkey of his back.
So, the comparison with Manning is apprapo.
As for the reason other teams passed on Quinn, they all had starting quarterbacks!!!!!!
As for getting a future #1 draft pick, is it worth risking not getting a franchise quarterback??
Ekuban was a first round draft pick for the Boys.
I only said that the comparisons where similar. I never said he was already as good as Manning. You're putting words in my mouth. And, if you truly know football, then you would see the comparisons. Quinn had the same hype Manning did in college. He has the same potential, too.
Miami - Had Culpepper and were busy trying to get Green.
Minnesota - Already invested in Tavarias Jackson
Tampa Bay - Already has 400 quarterbacks (didn't you know that one?)
Washington - Same as Minny, they have Jason Campbell they invested in
Houston - had extended Carr's contract, but were looking to land Shaub even then.
Buffalo - did you even see Losman play last year?? Come on man!!
Jacksonville - has two quarterbacks already
Green Bay - Favre is going to play until he's 60 and Roger's is the heir apparent.
Is that all you got?
If Quinn was such a sure thing, any of those teams would've made the pick. You think Minny, TB, Buffalo, Houston, Jacksonville, or GB are absolutely sure about their QB situation? If you think they are set then you are full of . Also, if he was such a sure thing, why did your precious Cowboys pass on a "franchise" QB when they aren't even sure Romo is going to pan out.
Blinded by homerism...
You just named a bunch of QBs have have done jack and in the NFL. Losman is the only one who's done anything, but he's still inconsistent. All of the others don't have any experience or any accomplishments at all. You've been owned severely. Just give it up.
All of those teams have invested way too much to back off and start all over again.
And, even Jerry Jones said that he might regret the day he passed on Brady Quinn.
So, what exactly are you trying to point out here?
How exactly have I been owned?
Break down the team needs. Then check into the contract situations with each of the QBs. Then, you can come and tell me what is what.
Do it.
Go team by team and justify your rationale.
You're talking out of your ass.
Even you were agreeing with me when we last spoke about it.
You go check all that if you want to. The fact is you listed a bunch of nobodys as proof that teams passed on Quinn due to having established QBs, and your argument was shredded to because of it.
I've asked you once and I'll ask you again, exactly how was my arguement shredded??
I gave you a rundown of the teams and why they passed on him. Why can't you support your own arguement.
Your retort was "go check all that if you want to." Well, as brilliant as that reply sounds, it doesn't say anything.
Although the Broncos got their asses handed to them last night, I will just throw this excuse out there as a means of justifying to myself, they were missing three starters from their offensive line.
Having said that, thank God this is the pre-season.
No, in Preseason not a damn thing matters. Especially when you're missing 3 starting offensive lineman, and the team you are playing likes to blitz every down. The Cowboys looked damn good, but preseason means nothing and I don't take a damn thing away from that game last night.
That sucks. I don't take much stock in wins and losses in the preseason but I hate to see injuries. I was always a big fan of Ekuban so I hate to see this happen.I just heard that Ekuban tore his achilles in the game - that really sucks for the Broncos. I was hoping both teams would clear the game healthy, but this bull hit Ekuban and Travis Henry to a much, much lesser extent.
so? yall still suck
