2025 Cowboys Preseason Week 2 Gameday Chatter Thread | Ravens @ Cowboys | 08/16/2025

We don't play starters in preseason because they could get injured don'cha know.

Don't worry, no matter what we do week one is a loss, so it will be like an "extra" preseason game where we test our starters (heheheheh, super planning from someone with the brains to be both owner AND GM--- socks to jocks, folks, socks to jocks!).

I wouldn't be surprised at all if that was some of the thinking, especially this year when week 1 will arguably be our toughest game of the year plus all the Parsons nonsense.

Schott has always had a good RB when he was actually in charge of an offense.

What does he have here?

2 shitty FA signings and 2 unproven late round draft picks.

We may as well get used to Dak slinging it 40+ times per game unless some RB steps up.

No, we like what have here …

Right.

The fascination with signing RBs who have regressed to less than 4 ypc is fucking nuts.

I'm guessing Maf turns out to be a 4 ypc plodder and Blue is a guy who will have a nice average, but in reality, he'll be a guy who gets nothing but 1 or 2 ypc mixed in with a few long bursts. Just a guess.

Blue might not be built for the NFL. He's going to have to get about ten times tougher and learn to protect himself.

He has the speed thank God, and the wiggle, so there's hope, but this game is brutal (even today).

They're cheap to sign. Simple as that.

Weird how RBs don't hold up these days.

Very few average 20 carries per game now.

I expected Ezeiruaku to flash a little more, but it's early. After all, he's facing guys not named Steele.

Cheap to every organization but Dallas.

The clear strength of this RB group is catching the ball, and hopefully we're smart enough to utilize that.

Blue and Williams can be pretty good weapons catching the ball.

Heck, even Vaughn could get some use out of the backfield in space.

 

[Bipo]

No sacks so far unless you want to count the one by some dude called Dezel Daxon.

Might be Blue's best skill, he can catch a ball like a WR. And his speed allows him to take off after catching it.

I have been watching this team for 60 years now.. This is the first time I have felt no hope for the next season.

I have been watching them for 40 years, and I have gotten to my true breaking point. That's where "Let the bullshit continue" came from. I guess Jerry has finally worn me down.

I would at least wait until a few games into the real season. I mean, literally none of our best players are playing.

Philly will probably throttle us that first game like they would most of the league, because they're just better. But after that we should get a decent gauge.

I only hope I outlive him, my new goal ilfe.

Wrong, Eagles are just luckier.

Adding Booker seems to have made us slower and less athletic.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

I thought he looked good when I watched him. Was just hard to tell because our run game wasn't doing shit with Sanders back there.

 

[Genghis Khan]

First time?

 

[Simpleton]

Booker was fine considering the offense was a shit show overall, ravid is just going to be pissy for the next 5 years about not taking Harmon.
