2015 Preseason Notes

[Xponentialchaos]

Ameer Abdullah had a 45 yard run. I didn't see it though.

Matthews is hurt, I think... no, not all starters, but some. Not saying he's overtaking Blount... just thought you'd give him a nod.

Meh. ..he's just a touch faster than I give him credit for. .there's his nod

Now that Abdullah run. ...that was impressive

Treff being loyal to his favs.

Cowboys only have some of their offensive starters in. The RB getting early work...undrafted rookie Gus Johnson.

Who?

Treff being loyal to his favs.

True. .but one was around a defense who all eleven men took the wrong angle from the start. .the other was right through the teeth. ..one was impressive, the other was just kinda nice

 

[Xponentialchaos]

Jonas Gray didn't play well enough to distinguish himself. But if he keeps that up, he will cause the headaches that many are expecting with the Patriots backfield.

While I don't put much stock in preseason games or performances, preseason is where undrafted Willie Parker, and 2nd-round pick Anquan Boldin (who was selected after 1st-rounder WR Bryant Johnson) turned heads.

So it doesn't happen often but sometimes a stud is born in preseason.

It was nice. Made a nice cut back inside and utilized his speed after that. Overall solid game for him.

Touchdown Gus Johnson.

I remember spotting Arian Foster in the preseason his first year- then he took off. I wasn't smart enough to draft him that first year though.

 

[Barilko]

im not big on preseason

but i do remember Cruz catching my eye 2 preseasons before his breakout year

if i do recall correctly he scored 3tds in 1 game

yet i didnt pull the trigger...

 

[TREFF]

I noticed David Boston, who had hulked up in the offseason. ..the one year he was a stud. Actually did pull the trigger, worked out well

 

[Xponentialchaos]

Let me take you guys back to 2009. Keeper league draft where the rookies always go early.

The top 3 picks were Knowshon Moreno, Beanie Wells, and Donald Brown. These were the "consensus" top 3 rookie running backs. But from watching preseason, the guy I wanted was LeSean McCoy. I traded up from #6 to #4 to make sure I get him and it worked out well.

You gotta stick up for yer boys.

 

[Chef99]

Touchdown Gus Johnson.

...and down goes Gus. Cowboys will be looking for a backup RB. Again.

 

[Trudem]

I believe he out ran Clinton Dix.

We overloaded the other side and got pinned in. That TD run was more scheme, and a massive hold right in the hole, than Jonas Gray.

Haha, of course it wasn't the Packers fault.

No I didnt mean it like that, we had more than our fair share of bad plays and sloppiness.

We had at least three defensive starters in the front 7 not play at all. He outran Adrian Hubbard btw...#49.

Just messin' with ya. I'm of the opinion that not much except certain position battles matter in preseason until the 3rd game.
