Cowboys @ Texans (preseason) film review: Defense

 Sun, Aug 26, found via Boxxet Collection

Sun, Aug 26 The run defense was bad, especially on one side of the line. The corners also struggled, and overall the Cowboys couldn't create sustained pressure and only had one sack. It did appear that the Cowboys weren't quite as blitz-happy as they were last week and stayed in base formation a lot, for...

6 Months Ago, Dave Halprin (Grizz) from Blogging The Boys says (in Film review: Cowboys vs. Eagles) RB – Again, nothing but excellent play. Julius Jones scored a TD on the ground, ran hard for 56 yards and had some good runs after catching the ball. Marion Barber scored a TD on the ground, ran hard for 57 yards and had some good runs after catching the ball. They were mirror images in this game wit...

7 Months Ago, Dave Halprin (Grizz) from Blogging The Boys says (in Film review: Cowboys vs. Vikings (offense)) WR – Terrell Owens checked in with a very productive day; a TD, some great catches and no drops. He also drew double-teams that helped other receivers. On one play, they put an OLB on him with a safety over the top, and that left JJ open underneath and Romo hit him. Owens had a sweet catch on a 3rd and...

And Dave Halprin (Grizz) from Blogging The Boys says (in Film review: Cowboys vs. Patriots (defense)) S – Roy Williams was involved in a couple of busted coverages. The most notable was on Moss’ first TD. Moss lined up outside and ran an ‘in’ deep in the endzone, the other receiver ran crossed under Moss and ran an out to the edge of the endzone. Roy jumped the out and followed while Newman passed of...

8 Months Ago, Dave Halprin (Grizz) from Blogging The Boys says (in Film review: Cowboys vs. Bears (defense)) The surprise of the game for me on film was Stephen Bowen. He was in the game a lot more than usual and he made some plays. In the first series of the game he rushed the QB from a standing position as the Cowboys were playing games at the line and got to Grossman to force an incomplete pass. In a series l...

And Dave Halprin (Grizz) from Blogging The Boys says (in Film review: Cowboys vs. Bears (offense and special teams)) I can tell you watching the game over again for the film review is much more fun when we are winning. No matter what happens, if we make a bad play, it always turns out OK in the end. So keep winning Cowboys.

Special teams review

And Dave Halprin (Grizz) from Blogging The Boys says (in Film review: Cowboys vs. Dolphins (abridged version)) OL – Let me break it down this way; in the passing game they were excellent, in the running game they were OK. In pass protection Leonard Davis had a bad block that led to pressure as did Kyle Kosier, but for most of the game they were excellent. In the running game, Andre Gurode along with Davis an...

9 Months Ago, The Gryphon from Gryphon on the Dallas Cowboys says (in Cowboys @ Texans (preseason) film review: Offense) Jason Witten saw extended time in this game and responded with three catches for 47 yards and a TD. Tony Curtis was the main backup to Witten and caught a long pass from Brad Johnson for 33 yards. Adam Bergen had no impact on the game.

Flozell Adams turned his guy loose on a play forcing Romo out of t...

And Dave Halprin (Grizz) from Blogging The Boys says (in Broncos @ Cowboys (preseason) film review) RB
Also pretty easy. Julius Jones looked good and scored a TD. Marion Barber looked very good with 2 TD’s and some hard-nosed running and Tyson Thompson showed incredible speed to the corners. What’s not to like?

And The Gryphon from Gryphon on the Dallas Cowboys says (in Colts @ Cowboys (preseason) film review: Offense) Julius Jones had a nice night, for as long as it lasted. He had a very nice run-after-catch on a short pass, and picked up some good yards on his runs. He almost broke one open big on a cutback run, but suffered from his major flaw, when he gets contact he usually goes down. If he could’ve kept his bal...
