Let's just start off by saying that the score, the end result of preseason games, means absolutely nothing. That being said, its always nice to beat anything that involves Tim Tebow. As much as people seem to hate preseason games, I always enjoy them for evaluation purposes and here is what we can come away with from this game:
The Cowboys are still very much a work in progress, especially on defense. There is no reason to panic, as the first team defense has only practiced together for one full week, and they were visibly out of sorts playing in a brand new scheme last night. Then again, maybe we should be concerned. This defense SUCKED last year and only Alan Ball has been replaced by Abram Elam. They gave up a good chunk of down field passes last night, 2010 deja vu.
Here are a few other things from the game:
-Tony Romo looked sharp in limited action, his first football game since week 7 last year. He completed his first 3 passes and finished 3/5.
-3rd string QB Stephen McGee can play. He looked like a young gunslinger out there last night. He was 14/24 with 208 passing yards and 3 TD's. He calmly led the Cowboys on a game winning drive, including a gutsy 2-point conversion to cap it off.
-Rookie WR Dwayne Harris really looks like he could be something. He had 5 grabs for 127 yards, 2 touchdowns including the game winner. He made ran a lot of smart routes including going to a hot route when he noticed a blitz, which led to his second touchdown.
-Gerald Sensabaugh could be a cause for headaches once again. I know he is just learning the system but he gave up some big plays last night. hmmm looks familiar.
-Jason Hatcher and Victor Butler were constantly putting pressure on the Denver QB's. This would be a good year for both of them to break out.
-Tim Tebow sucks.
